    Glad I came across this video..just started framing today and have ended up with a 14x13 space with bulkheads to accommodate pipes and support beams. It is never ideal to have a space at home but like you, I wanted to accomodate storage, a small gym, big seating area, furnace room, and bathroom.

    Wow dude I feel your pain I’ve been waiting to finish my vocal booth for a year but I’m the problem because I’m not as hungry as I should be because I’m making good money and it’s not urgent but it should be so I have one wall to get insulation mass loaded vinyl, drywall and green glue and acoustic treatment on the inside and I’m done plus a pass through for XLR cables and you’ll still be up and running before I will but that’s my fault so I’m looking forward to seeing the final product

    I built my studio about 6 years ago, with the same concept of room-in-a-room and the results are amazing. I can have a 5 piece band playing and you can hardly hear anything outside the studio. Mind you, mine is a stand alone building in my backyard.
    I'm sure Martin would have sorted it out, but are there any isolators that the inner room frames are standing on or are they mounted directly to the ground? Even with floating floors, if the frames are not isolated from the ground, the sound will transfer to the outside wall frames (low frequency) and vice-versa.

    • @hardcoremusicstudio
      @hardcoremusicstudio  ปีที่แล้ว

      No, the studs are not isolated from the floor. That didn't seem to be a concern. Maybe if it was a tracking space too, it would be more of a concern.

    I’m very curious to see how you respond to the acoustics when it’s all done. Even though it’s not a focus for you, it’ll still sound different than what you’re used to. Lots of acoustic treatment in that plan.

  • @bigkickleo

    WOW! Great project!! Question about moving your interior panelboard: Since your existing wiring terminates in that current location (home runs), will you now have to install a gutter/ wireway to splice in new runs for each of your existing circuits? Looks like a BIG job! Best of luck - great ideas 👊🏼🤘🏻

    • @hardcoremusicstudio
      @hardcoremusicstudio  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, we're going to create some sort of removable section of the wall so that the panel is accessible - it has to be by code anyways.

    Hey Jordan, i was wondering if you could make a video on unmasking, specifically when it comes to vocals. I know in a previous video you alluded to the idea that unmasking is a little bit of a myth (at least in the extreme ways that people tend to think about it). Do you ever EQ, gain automate, or EQ automate guitars to make room for the vocal? Or do you typically just rely more on vocal compression, EQ and automation to keep it up front?

      @hardcoremusicstudio  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah, it was a trade off between my needs vs the needs of the family. I could’ve made it bigger and put it somewhere else, but the layout for the rest of the basement would’ve been far worse.

    I think the nice thing is, you are showing people that mixing isn’t about ‘the perfect space’. Very rarely are you going to have perfect and even in your own build you have balanced what you need and what your family needs.
    One question is will you ever track anything in there? I mean maybe a vocal or guitar part or is it strictly going to be a mix only zone? It’s great to hear an actual pro saying I’ve had to just make it work and it’s been fine 👍

    In Poland, according to regulations, cables cannot be run in trees without special insulating pipes (conduits). Are you sure it will be safe for you?

    • @bigkickleo
      @bigkickleo 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Low voltage and telcom/AV cables in US/ residential are not required to have a raceway/ conduit when run between or through trusses. But, where and how large the holes are drilled into the beams are dictated by structural engineering/manufacturers spec. Cheers!

    While I love this build. You mentioned that acoustics and whatnot was not much of a problem and that you weren’t recording. Are you going to all the extra expense of floating and room within a room and A/C diversion just because you want to do it right? Because it didn’t sound like you required all of this based on the intro. ;)
    Regardless, living vicariously here and wish you the best of luck!

    • @hardcoremusicstudio
      @hardcoremusicstudio  ปีที่แล้ว

      Acoustics in terms of a flat-as-possible frequency response in the room is not super important to me. But the sound isolation from the rest of the house is important to me, which is why the 'floating' room and HVAC design is important

  • @sweetfoampunishment3286
    @sweetfoampunishment3286 ปีที่แล้ว

    Insulating a basement's outer wall from the inside is highly NOT recommended... You are running the very high risk of getting serious problems with mold in that space between your dry wall and the concrete wall. You'll need at least a moisture barrier (which NEVER is totally impermeable!) to avoid moist air getting in the gap and condensing on the cool concrete surface. But still... that will not prevent moisture (or even liquid water) of permeating through the concrete and getting in the gap.
