New diy studio

[garlo]

Im a composer and already running a small studio. http://www.cipaudio.com/eng_studio.htm
I work mainly on my music + sound design & music for cartoons, movies, tv & radio ads & some music mix & mastering. Very few live recordings. Our vocal booth is actually the main recording room.

2 years ago, I transformed an old industrial building in the suburb into a home.

Project
I begin my new DIY studio near my home that year.
I ve been on your great site since 2 years. Thanks to everyone.

Space
It was a printing company before.
The space is 9m38x7m38 inside.

The height in the center is 4m22, and 3m30 on the North & South walls.
Floor is concrete (20cm).
Walls are hollowed bricks (hollowed stone walls?).
Roof is steel sandwich.

There is a neighbour behind the northern wall
I live 2m away on the west side, other houses are 50 meters away on the Eastern side. And we are 50m away from the street.

Use
Sound design ...
Music composition, mix & mastering ... & maybe some live recording ?
So usually many people in the control room (too much).
CR will be louden type H3m l 4m20 L 5m70.
A vocal booth ( 1 or 2 speakers & tv screen).
1 window on the South.
A door on the North for people coming from the parking.
A big door on the Eastside for loading unloading musicians gear.
A small room with the computers & amplifiers ( sound lock ?).
A live room.

Gear
I will moove the existing gear so
Protools digo02, Adat , Mackie d8b,Weiss equalizer, Tc electronic finalizer & reverb, Lexicon reverb,
NS10 & Adat monitor II with Alesis matica900 amplifier,
Neumann Akg Audio technica microphones...

Loud
Sorry don t have something to measure, but when its loud its just for few moments in the CR with Adat monitor II + amplifier matica900 when mastering techno or dub music.
The main business is made with the NS10.

Budget
I will try 30.000US$ .

Timetable
I begun in 2007 from time to time ( emptied the room, took off old ceiling & roof & steel shelves, dig for the water pipes, new roofing ....).
More time since 2 weeks so, I put limestone, domisol & plastic sheet + cables & steel.
Some pictures on my site http://www.cipaudio.com
I will put some on this site later.

hope for 6 months of work.
