Live Room Build Out

Live Room Build Out-photo-1.jpgHi All, Thanks in advance for all advice and ideas



I have a free standing Large Garage and Workout area that I am converting into a Live Room and Mixing Room

I am going to start the build on the live room first and have though about putting in some angled walls. below is a drawing of my thoughts.

The measurements are as follows

Drums to wall with Door (Width) 295"

Length is 305"

This ceiling is 114"


any ideas or suggestions are appreciated

Thanks

Both of your rooms (I don't have dimensions for the CR, but based on the drawing...) are almost square. Seems you could improve on that a bit. What is the blank space in front of the Control ROom?

Blank space is storage space that I need for garage type stuff it has an overhead door on it as well.

So you think I would be better off building the live room smaller and les of a square?

Is there a ratio that I'm looking for or just to avoid multiple room nodes

Neil is right...

My advice, FWIW, is to hire a designer. Lots post here and are very affordable. In fact, I can almost guarantee they will save you money.

Good luck. Mike

Here are a few pics of live room.

Should be finished in two weeks

How much of the ceiling would you guys treat?

I was going to hang a large cloud above the drums and another large one equal spaced on the other side of the room

I've built 15 2'x4' 4" 703 panels and 3 4'x6' 4" panels

I was planning on using 1 large panel hung as a cloud above the drums 4" down from ceiling and another large panel hanging on the wall behind the drums

The other large panel I was going to hang on the ceiling above the piano opposite the drums .

The other smaller panels (2'x4') I was going to place after some room measurements.

Does any one see anything that could be improved on for a rock tracking room.
