I am just in the process of building a room in my bassment into a small studio. Now Im not really too concerned with sound proofing the room, I am more concerned with the acoustics and making sure things sound nice.

Does anyone have any tips on what to consider when Im building this room? Acousticaly. Are there any websites out there that address this sort of thing?

Thanks,

Pete

put on the walles some sound absorbing material, u can use some sponge or feather, i belive that if u have some money for it u can buy this stuff on the net... put ur monitors at least 30 cm from the wall (or else the wall will hum with the basses), put them as far as u can from each other (more stereo...), put them in the height of ur ears when u work, and find a good chair, oh and buy some equipment if u want

Consider your budget..... And if you got something like a garage to work in, you can build some of the sound absorbing/reflecting pannels yourself. Also, invest some money into decent monitors and make sure room sounds neutral. BTW, I would also recommend scouting your local Art Institute and post an add for an intern - he gets experience you get free consultation on building a studio. I had excellent help from few local punters into sound recording. they even dragged along some gear to measure the acoustics of my room and find dead spots. It's not exactly "top notch" service, but for the money - $100 it was well worth it. Be sure to interview potential flunkies, if you go that route.

G'luck.
