Ok!



I'm currently in my basement to record my own music - solely my own music - for now and the foreseable future.



My actual room is roughly 10X16 with an 8 feet ceiling. It has a slanted ceiling over the mix area.

Hello,

I'm going to record some jazz stuff(hard bop, ala Horace Silver and Bill Evans).



I have Old German Baby Grand Piano(in good condition).

Bass player with 3/4 size double bass(standard)

Drummer with 4 piece kit and 4 trad. jazz cymbals (ride, crash, hihats and splash)

Our recording room has two straight walls and one curved wall joining the other two. One of the straight walls and the curved wall is of rock, while the other straight wall is mainly glass doors and windows.



We put foam mattress against the glass wall, mainly to stop bird and wind noise coming in (we have bush [forrest] surrounding our home).

Hi, I once heard of a guy how designed his room acoustics, in which all of the absOrban t material was in the ceiling, and one of the walls was covered with stone blocks for diffusion, I rehearsed there twice and it sounds great but i've never tried ir for recording, what do you guys think?
