Please explain
Steve,
I must echo the sentiments of my fellow slutz. Long term.... if you build it, they will come. Right? IF you go top to bottom with the, what is it, $3k? You might have a studio on point with any other Joe Basement. Which is fine... but a shame.
You've been given an incredible opportunity to make something special. At least allow the plans to unfold at a natural pace, just to see where they go. Then make the call.
For the record, you understood me completely re: angled walls. The caviat being, if you follow therealbigd's advice about a CR window at your side, THAT wall with the window would need to be a true angled wall, with a very well thought out bounce pattern to make sure the reflections of that window doesn't smack you in the ear.
I like the idea of a window in the live room. Acoustically, hang some drapes, isolationally... raise your budget
seriously man, check out some financial avenues... AFTER you have some CAD or Sketchup drawings of the potential. Everyone has an old aunt that believes in them somewhere!
How do you feel about your potential for a client base?
[EDIT] In regards to Avare's statement, I spent a lot of money by building too quickly and not taking the time to design. I could have saved thousands. It wasn't until I got to the treatment level of the space did I have the glimpse of knowledge I have now, and I have spent next to nothing on the acoustics, by knowing what to look for, and how to repurpose things.[EDIT]
