With help from Adrain, Mike and Steve we were able to insulate, run electrical wires and outlets, hang sheetrock, texture, and paint in about two months  This is the wall that was built to seperate the studio from the storage space. Alot of 2 X 4's, R-19 insulation, and 5/8" sheetrock.      Here is a shot of the corner where the ceiling and walls meet.     Welcome to the vocal booth  Another shot of the vocal booth. I knew it was going to need some room treatment in the form of Aurelex sheets and bass traps.. This room sounded horrible before the Aurelex.  Mackie Onyx 1640 Mixer with our cat "Onyx" checking it out. Update: Onyx passed away January 26th, 2006 at only two years old. We will miss him dearly. What a wonderful cat.  Having the carpet installed really made the room feel more cozy.  Now we're getting somewhere. It was finally time to move the drums into the new studio.  Here are the Aurelex pyramid 2"x2' x 4' sheets. This is the real deal here. This stuff ain't cheap. Now that the studio is built, its time for some bass traps. I am using 2' X 4' X 4" mineral wool. The wood frame is 1" X 4" with fabric stapled across the frame to hold the mineral wool in place. I purchased 32 pieces of the wool which will be mounted to walls and corners and a few on the ceiling.   Here is the first wood frame for the bass traps. One finished bass trap and many more to go.   Two bass traps on the back wall.  Back wall with three completed bass traps. You can see the bare mineral wool stacked in the corner. This room should sound pretty good when I am finished building and hanging the traps. -------------------------------------------------------------
And now its time for more bass traps
I knew this space was not going to be easy to get sounding decent acoustically. the additional bass traps was the answer. this time i hung several bass traps from the ceiling and at 45 degree angles where the walls and ceiling meet. I am very happy with the rooms acoustics now.  I used a few different fabrics to cover the bass traps.     four bass traps standing vertically all bass traps are 4' X 8' X 4" thick except the ones in the corners which are 8" thick  this is where the magic happens  build a better bass trap?? how about two leather couches and one even has a pull out bed with a mattress these really helped with the acoustics in the studio cozy huh?
