Ok, but how high is too high or high enough? I recorded my crap band in the barn I speak of last summer and ran my overheads about 4ft over the cymbals,which would have left about 40 ft above them and the sound was good but I don't think I would have wanted to run the mics any higher. Them room was untreated,but I can't stop thinking about how cool it would be to have it for a live room! The garage in this place is about 20*80 with a sloped roof that goes from 12 up to maybe 20 ft at the highest, maybe that would be a better spot for a studio?
How high is the ceiling in your live room, is it sloped?
Who do you recommend for studio design?
I do wish to state that I am not wealthy, that I am not in a large market and that this larger better studio will require me to work until I am put in the ground and may cause my wife to help me have an "accident" but for the most part I'd like to see what it sounds like cranked to 11.
