Just bought a house with a 2.5 car garage and one decent sized window in said garage…there’s a huge framed and insulated shed on the property as well but I think the wife has claimed that lol…I really wanted that garage anyway. My current place has a 1.5 garage and it’s suited me well for the studio, but I’m stoked moving to the bigger place. That said, I absolutely LOVE the idea of the sliding acoustic wall over the window…this idea is gonna save me a TON of frustration! Awesome vid man!!

KZfaq algorithm brought me here. While I know nothing about acoustics I found this fascinating. I may build some of these sound dampening panels for my home office, cutting down on the noise would be super helpful.

Im having trouble figuring out how to position my workstation to be able to access both my 88 key piano and my drumset, and be able to record/mix all from the same chair. Any ideas? I imagine I would need the speakers to be equidistant from the walls but then that means my kick drum will only have a foot or two between the reso head and the wall.
@cuomomusiccreation4 ай бұрын
Thanks a lot for the question. This is a tough one without seeing the overview of the room unfortunately. However, if mixing is a priority then it is important to have the speakers at the same distance from the side walls. Also, if the room is rectangle then set them up so that they're aimed at the longer behind your mix postion. I've had more luck acoustics wise shoving them up against the rear walls in smaller rooms, as opposed to bringing them out into the room. At least in my experience there's less negative low end consequences, and it saves space.

I had an air conditioner (the kind with the hose that goes out the window) last summer. It was more than enough. Now I've got an oil heater for the winter and it's all good too. No shrunken fret boards or humidity damage to the electronics around here. The ceiling ducts help with airflow as well... so it never gets that backwoods tree house feeling.

What’s the material you used to cover the ceiling? & doing that sounds better while recording then sheet rocking the whole ceiling?
@cuomomusiccreation4 ай бұрын
I just used fabric over the faced insulation. Then I have the duct system above that so that it doesn't get gross over time. It pretty much kills a lot of reflections acoustics wise, but sheet rock would have been the better choice if I cared about making it look like a real house. I cared most about height though. If you go with sheetrock, then as long as you treat above your listening position with an absorptive cloud, and possibly a couple more absorbers/diffusion on the ceiling further back in the room then you should be fine... so long as you make the ceiling as high as possible, higher than a traditional room (over 8-9 ft, preferably over 10).
