John Sayers' Recording Studio Design Forum Archive

Hi, I'm brand new here on this forum. the reason I've just registered is that I'm planning to build a studio. The room where I'm planning to build is about 100 square meters but It's only 2.40 meters high.

My question: Is this low ceiling a problem for proper recording (al kinds of instruments and vocals) and iff not, what's the impact going to be on my recordings? The room is about 16m by 7m.

I appologise for my poor english writing and if nessecairy for my question

Your room:
= 16m x 7m x 2.4m = 269 m^3
= 52.5' x 22' x 7.9' = 9125 ft^3

Certainly that's more volume than most people here.

Axial modal frequencies (hz): 10, 21, 24, 32, 43, 49, 50, 64, 71, 73, 75, 85, 96, 98, 107, 118, 123, 129

Room Ratios (H, W, L): 1 - 2.9 - 6.6
(do not fit with Bolt, EBU nor IEC recommendations)

Will you be building more than one room in this space ?
Where is your locatoin (Country, City)?

I was planning to devide the room in 2. A place to sit down and work on the recordings and a place to set up the instrument or mics. I'm not sure yet how I'm going to devide it. I also was planning to plaster the walls and then put some kind of carpet on them.

Sory, forgot...
It's going to be located in Antwerp, Belgium

Vox, could you please update your profile to include your location? Thanks -

Sounds like you need to look around the various designs on the Studio Design forum for some ideas - although low ceilings aren't ideal, they are still doable - look around a bit, see what might work for you... Steve
