I’m finally building a studio space in my new house since moving last Thanksgiving time. I originally had elaborate plans to make a very pro space with a live room and control room. I consulted a couple studio designers, and had a design somewhat in place that I had made a rough sketch of. After crunching the numbers on cost and really considering what I will be using the space for (not what I thought would look cool, or impress others)…I decided to go with a one room stripped down version. I mainly use my room for mixing. Most of my recording is done internally with no microphones. And though I plan on doing more live recording in the future, the space will take into account for that. I originally planned for hardwood floors but since I’m in the basement, I’m going to go with carpet. I will have my control room on one end and will fully sound treat the room. I also purchased some office partitions I will use as baffles when live recording or just to partition off a section of the room. My original estimates with my first design would have put the construction costs at around $18,000. My stripped down version will cost less than about half of that. My space I’m working with is 13′x25′. Here is my original design, I will not be doing:

Here is my rendition of what it may look like when finished as well as a couple construction shots. I hope to have everything completed by the end of April.
