In need of Studio design

Post by davidclay123 »

Hi guys,
I've just rented an apartment and I intend to turn it into a studio to help local indie musician.
The room is 40 meter square. Is it enough? Is there any free design?
Many thanks!

Hi. Please read the forum rules for posting (click here). You seem to be missing a couple of things! :)
The room is 40 meter square. Is it enough?
Enough for what? For a control room? Wonderful. More than enough. For a live room? Probably, but tight. For both live room and control room? Probably not. For a control room, live room, vocal both, isolation booth, and green room? No way, ever.
Is there any free design?
Is there any free brain surgery? :)

The forum is a self-help resource, where you have to do most of the work yourself, and folks here will help you out for free when you get stuck, or if you have a specific question, or if you seem to have made a mistake in your design. But nobody here is going to spend the hundreds of hours that it takes to design a complete studio, for free. That's a lot of work!

People here will help you for free, certainly, but they won't do all of the work for you for nothing! Your have to do most of it yourself, and just ask for help when you have a problem.

If you prefer to pay someone to design your entire studio for you, then there are several people here who can do that for you. People such as John, Glenn, Rod, Andre, and myself, if that's what you want, so feel free to e-mail or PM one of us and ask for a quote.

Or if you don't want to pay, then you can do what most of the other forum members do here: post all of the information that we ask for in the forum rules, then do some research using the vast amount of information available for free on the forum, then do a rough design of how you think you want your studio, and ask for comments on ways of improving that. Or if you find something that you don't understand while you are researching, then ask a question about that and people here will probably answer your questions.
