Hey guys, my families probably going to be acquiring another house soon; luckily for me I get the basement all to myself to turn into a rehearsal/studio space :hbang:
Seeing as I know absolutely nothing about this and had no idea I'd have a crazy opportunity like this coming up, I'll need your guys input on how to design everything. I'm not looking for a full fledged recording studio or anything too crazy. Would probably just need enough space to:
a) Fit a 5 or maybe 6 piece band.
b) Room for a computer and decent set of monitors.
c) Room for around 10-15 guitars, 4-6 heads, maybe two or three cabs, and obviously loads of space for extra pre-amps/power amps :evil:
d) Kind of spacious.
How much room do you guys think I'd need to accommodate all of this? Is there anything else I'm forgetting?
Now onto my assload of other questions. :lol:
1. I'll need to soundproof the space, what's the best way of doing this? Should I just say fuck it and hire someone to do it?
2. Whats the optimal flooring?
3. Any special needs as far as air circulation goes? Anything to consider?
4. Lighting, once again, anything special I should look into or think about?
5. Power needs...do I need a stupid amount of power for any reason? :lol:
I'll worry about what other gear to buy later; for now this is all that needs to be solved :ugh:
Cost isn't too big an issue...
