Hi,

I'm building a studio in my basement. H: 6ft, L: 15ft, W: 9ft
i know its not the best but its the best i have.

I don't need any soundproofing. Im in an isolated area where no sound will be coming in nor will it matter if it goes out. The room is only going to be used for mixing and producing. No recording. Of any sort. What i need is an acoustically balanced room. What i plan to do is make wooden frames on all 4 sides. Like a cage. I need help further..

Please advice on which way to go:

1. Single stud wooden frame. Put drywall on the outside. Stuff 6inch rock wool. Cover with breathable fabric on the inside of the studio.
2. Double stud wooden frame. MLV on the outside. Stuff all the frame with rock wool (is a partition required? if so with what?). Drywall on the inside. Make and hang more panels inside the studio though taking up more space.

If either of these are wrong please suggest something in that way? ^^ But keep in mind i don't require isolation, only room treatment.
& Yes i know in the first way, the room will be too dead. Though i plan on putting a few diffusors at the back to keep it reflective. And since anyways its an extremely compact room i guess it would be fine. which i will have to learn to compensate for.

Thank you

 

Eric Desart, a well known studio designer and master of acoustics helped put to together a short, very readable to do article when optimising a room. Unfortunally Eric past away recently but his legacies are on the net, and this is a good one for starters. The only thing is, the article's a google translation (org. language is dutch) But it still makes sense.. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=nl&sl=nl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.homerecording.be%2Fgids%2Fakoestische-behandeling
