I am using a 12 by 24 foot room as a home studio and this room echos like crazy. Every time my guitar players and I jam or record the echo makes it sound like a bunch of jumbled notes. Some advice on what kind of studio foams or other cheap alternatives would be great, thanks.

My studio is located in a large production house. I have one iso room that's fairly small (11' x 11') with an 8' height. I've always recording drums in there with pretty decent results (or at least to my young ears.) right outside my studio is an enormous warehouse. I've always heard that you should always use the highest ceiling possible for recording drums, but is this overkill?

I would like to know any tips or hints that has helped the more experienced people. I have a question I would like to put 4 windows in my main band room how much will the sound come through? I will put double glass etc.

hi,

I'm making some absorption panels ( 2' x 4' ) for home recording that i can move so not against a wall). I will you them mostly for vocal booth and for general absorption in my 'live room'. I want to use 2" rockwool panels ( good absorption AND cheap !)

absorption coefficient for a 2" rockwool panel are:

125hz 250hz 500hz 1000hz 2000hz 4000hz

Hi,

I'm about to record a drum kit. Since my tracking room is a small one (2.0 m wide 5.0 m long 2.5 m high) there's no other chance than placing the kick drum so close to the wall.

What kind of problems may occur in this situation and what are your recommendations to overcome.

Thanks

This evening I had the pleasure of dinner with a good family friend. Andy is a great musician and has been writing and recording his own music for some time. It is a hobby for him, but one he devotes a lot of time and energy to (not to mention the fact that he is an amazing song writer). He's been working on a new CD and I had the pleasure of hearing some of his work.

Hey guys, I am about to start a project to build a home studio down in my basement. Just wondering if anyone else has been successful with this because I need some ideas. What is the most cost effective way to get the best performance in building a soundproof studio?

Folks,

People have heard all kinds of stories about fiberglass and it's hazards. It has been stated:
 

I am working with a great sounding but very dry drum kit. What kind of a drum room do you "put this kit in" in a mix ?
Do you let it share the "main reverb" (minus the kick drum)?
Do you give it a separate (smaller?)drum room ?
What kind of parameters do you use for such a drum room?
