GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Building My Recording Studio
Posted by: Adrian Figallo Jul 17 2010, 05:44 PM
Hey guys, so i decided to literally be poor all this year and invest in building a proper recording studio, so i'm turning my office/living room into that!
i'm very excited and i will post (if anyone interested) all the progress!, here are some pics from the first hour of the whole project, being awake at 7am is not really my thing, but no pain no gain haha!

Well I am interested to see the work in progress, you can post ore pictures here.
Is that green screen, and how did you set it up?

thanks for the support kristian!
thank you tony my friend!
Is that green screen, and how did you set it up?
the green screen is an easy thing to do, you need a big wall, and you need some green paint, do the mix of the paint as shinny as you can, lemon green is perfect.
now paint the wall with 2 or 3 very thick layers of paint, good lighting on the room and that's all
here are some more pics, 12 mid day.

Looking good mate!
What are you using for soundproofing? anything special? You going to install a floating floor?

Hey guys, glad everyone is liking it so far!
On the walls i'm putting TICK fiber glass cloth with tecnopor and drywall, this is enough for my monitors and guitar amps cause my studio is inside an apartment (150m2).
not using anything on the floor because i won't record acoustic drums or bass cabintes, i don't have the budget yet to go there and buy drumset mics etc, so for what i'm using now it will be more than enough
pics coming in an hour

...
Tiled floor with the reflections can sometimes work for some instruments - particularly acoustic guitar
. Maybe just put down a few rugs elsewhere to cut the reflection a bit for other instruments and vocals

Awesome stuff, I wish I could afford living in such a big apartment 
Posted by: maharzan Jul 18 2010, 05:21 PM
great adrian. i would love to own a home and build one for myself. I made a small studio back at my office but we had to leave the house and the investment went on vain. 
will be looking forward to the final version.

Looks good Adrian, best of luck with it
Posted by: emirb Aug 5 2010, 04:10 PM
looks great so far! I would need to do something like that.. I have a third room that I already use as a 'office' even though I don't 'office' at home all my guitar equipment is already there but it would be nice to organize it a bit. hey! we could start a thread with pictures of our 'workspace' ?! maybe people can get inspired by other members and improve their recording lairs
Best of luck with finishing your studio!
Posted by: audiopaal Aug 16 2010, 12:51 PM

Can't wait to see it finished

oh man, a proper studio in your own house, what a dream ... Once I learn to play as well as you do, I owe it to myself to build one
