Conversion of old stables into annexe with recording studio

How thick should my walls be, should I float my floors (and if so, how), why is two leaf mass-air-mass design important, etc.

Conversion of old stables into annexe with recording studio

Post by Gazzapax »

Hi guys, I'm a new user, and currently familiarising myself with forum rules etc, so don't expect an answer just yet. But a quick question, as I prepare my diagrams, etc, for this thread.... I note that you use the Google product and Smartdraw, but these exceed my budget. Are you happy for studio plans to be constructed using other software, and simply posted as a .png, .gif, etc?

many thanks, it looks like a really helpful site

Hi there Gazza, and Welcome! :)

Most of us use SketchUp these days, which is free! :) That's about the only free thing that you'll find while designing your studio, so make the most of it. SketchUp will take you a little while to learn, as some of the concepts aren't intuitive, but once you get the hang of it, you'll find it is ideal for studio design, and very powerful.
