Greetings everyone, haven't been here in a while… Glad to be back.
I decided to take my concrete block garage and convert into a small project studio .
Control room will be 15 by eight feet. Ceiling a standard 8 feet. This is the main room of concern for me actually. Inside the garage it is really pretty quiet, so not concerned with outside noise or too much noise escaping. The control is my main concern I don't want a lot of bass frequencies jumping around in there. I understand concrete block can be pretty tough when dealing with low frequencies so Here are my questions:
I have to build the control room in the corner of the garage, therefore two of the walls will be the concrete block, while the other side wall and the rear wall will be framed up. The two walls that will be concrete block will be the front wall where the mixing board is and the left side wall. Would it be best to just go ahead and frame up the entire control room independently of the block wall instead? I'm thinking maybe that would give me less low-frequency trouble since both of the side walls would be framed up and treated the same. If this is the answer, one in inch before enough away from the concrete block for the new framing?
Another question, my corner treatments will go from the floor all the way to the ceiling all four corners. Thinking about making these bass traps from Delta 6 rock wool board which is 3 1/2 inches thick . I would run this about 24 inches wide across the corners and fill the back of the corners with r30 pink stuff or something. How does that sound? That's all the questions I have for now... don't want to get too far ahead of myself.
But I'll add this… For my main four walls I plan to use that same rock wool inside the framing which will be 2 x 4 x 8 studs and just put fabric on the front then backed with some soundproofing sheathing. In addition I will be adding a cloud or two over the listening position , and of course panels to the left and right of the mixing position about 4 inches thick , and various other 2 to 3 inch thick panels in the back as well as a nice sofa in the rear for more absorption .
Thanks for any help ,
Dave
