Evening gentelmen. Well this is my first post,so please take it easy with me!!.. :wink: I have recently purchased a house in the north of England. with enough spare land to build a small studio, :D :D there are some exsisting out buildings that need to be demolished this would then give me a 22 foot by 15 foot brick outer shell I need a small live room to record vocals,guitar/bass.also brass and maybe in the future drums. now I have beev lurking about on this fab site for awhile now and it seems you guys come up with some amazing designs, would you be so kind as to point me in the right direction as far as sound proofing ie inner walls etc and a space saving design for CR and recording area I will try to post a Drawing but it`s my first time with smart draw too so please bare with me Thanks in advance Ted.. :oops:
Vspace Boy, I think the total of both ares was 25x11 roughly. Bryan Giles

I think Bryan Giles studio is around 21 x 13 or so. http://www.johnlsayers.com/Studio/Pages/Giles.htm This would give you roughly two 11 x 15 rooms <Control/Live> which may work. Ron
That looks the very ticket!!.. vspace boy please excuse my ignorance! but Where`s the entrance door? and are there any links to the origanal plans please, qeustion! I will be using my Genelec 1029a`s along with a not yet bought bass unit do you think they should be free standing or soffit mounted? also the angled wall at the back of the CR! is that a bass trap ? thanks for the replys lads Im realy looking forward to building this baby. PS.tried to post my plans from smart draw but couldnt how the hell is this done??
Hey Ted The design had no door in it, I modified the plan here at my facility adding a door to it where I needed it. Bryan Giles
This is the basic set up I have at the moment Im thinking about creating a passage to the south of the building as you look at it on plan to the north I have people living with in 20ft there for good sound isolation is essential! I hoped the passage would allow people to come and go with out to mutch sound spill from the studio maybe a vocal booth to the south west corner to utilise the space any suggestions are wellcome thanks in advance Ted
