Basement studio question, help please

[Isle of Weight]

I need some advice

I'm starting my plans to build a personal set-up, and I can build at either end of the basement here are my options...

1) length 13' 1"
width 8 '4"
ceiling 7'

or

2) length 20' 6"
width 6' 8"
ceiling 7'


Basic production/control room deal.
Which dimension's would work the best?
I have a very weird basement, advise will be greatly appreciated
THANKS for the help

both those rooms are very narrow, you're lookin at less that 3 metres
are you looking at just doing a control room?

Aaron,

> length 20' 6" <

That's my choice. When all else is equal, having the rear wall behind you as far back as possible is always better. And plan for as much bass trapping as you can possibly manage.

control room and tracking....
I produce Hip hop, down tempo, cinamatic type stuff, so I'm tracking from samplers and syths through rackgear, etc.

hey, with 7' ceilings you're in danger of head end ringing (google that if you need more info). in short, make sure your monitors and ears are not exactly halfway between floor and ceiling.

Fuzz the heck out of the ceiling, it's just too low to do you any good.
Oh, and the walls too... but ceiling first.

[BCains]

So what we are looking at is 2.07m (W) x 6.27m (L) x 2.10m (H)

Firstly that ceiling, is very low, you are gonna run into trouble there,
especially if these figures are before you build in.

I'll let Ethan chime in here.
