[deadroom]

Currently I run a small home studio where I record demos and singles for a lot of really young bands for a low price.

I have enough traffic to pay for my mortgage and bills and eating but not a lot more than that lol. (yes, this is my full time job).

I have been tracking drums in my living room with minimal diffusion and been getting a decent result. However, I have a garage that is completely empty that I do not use for anything and would prefer to have a living room again and just do drum tracking in my garage.

As mentioned, I don't have the largest budget but can squeeze money here and there to make this work over an extended amount of time doing little by little.

I have been tracking drums in my home now for a year and a half and my neighbors say that they can hear it, but that it doesn't bother them any. Granted, this is INSIDE my home. Moving into the garage would be a different issue because there is a lot of openings threw the garage door for sound to get out.

My original plan was to use some fiber glass insulation, sound board, ply wood, sheetblok and a few layers of sheet rock to build a wall thick enough to kill enough sound from leaving my garage.

I want to lay wood floors down as well. On top of that I really don't know where to go...

Hence, I need you guys to steer me in the right direction.

The room is a perfect square at the moment.
20 ft X 19.5 ft and 8.5 feet tall.

Other than what i've mentioned...What do I need to do to get some good sounding drums out of this room!
