So here is my problem, I have two areas with different difficulties and I am not sure which would be easier, or better to start a small home studio.
Basement: 15'6''x15'6''x6'11, two cement walls, two wooden unfinished walls, cement floor, unfinished ceiling with matrix of 4x2s
Attic: Unusual shape. 30'x16'5''x8ft. Slooping angle roof down to 4ft height. Has two areas that stick out 6ftx3ft, both have one window each. Finished white plaster walls, ceiling. Floor is plywood.
Budget: 600$-1000$
Objective: Acoustical improvement, sound proofing is not critical.
Planned Room use: Band practice room/open tracking room; control booth.
Music: Rock, blues, metal- fairly loud
Usual band setup: Usually just a two guitarists, one on a Mesa 100 watt tube amp, the other on a Fender 100 watt tube amp. For practice, have 600 watt PA system.
Recording: Music track recording, want to try both isolating each instrument and recording them seperately, using a "live" guide track and just recording all tracks at the same time.
Location: Buffalo, NY, in the city. No loud outside noises.
Isolation: No one has complained about our noise level yet.
