Treating basement accoustically - anyone want to help with..

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Hi Everyone,

My wife and I moved into our first home. I am setting up the basement to do
some serious recording. I will mostly be recording myself. There is one room
that I have designated the control room, and another for placement of my
loud guitar amps.

Ceiling is a low 7.5" and other dimensions are

control: 11' X 19'
isolation: see diagram

11'
- ---------------------
| |
| |
\ | 8.5'
\ |
bath \-------------------
3' 8' closet

I hope my isolation room diagram makes sense!

I am a guitarist with little home-improvement skills. I want to isolate the
amp room as much as feasible. I do understand that isolation is costly and
am totally willing to accept suboptimal results!. I also want a fairly
neutral control room. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me
with this project. I don't need pro results. I just need to be able to crank
some amps and record them nicely. Basically I just need someone to be there
to patiently guide me through the process. I am of course willing to pay you
for your time and effort. I live in Billerica, MA. If you want to help out,
email me at

(remove the caps of course for a valid email!)

I made a similar post a couple months ago before I moved. But now I am moved
in and ready to do this ASAP!

Hope to hear from someone. BTW: I will gladly provide you some fine German
beer that I got through customs...

regards,

brian
