I am lucky to have a detached garage that I have been slowly converting into a music room.
The building was permitted and finished when I bought the house....It was used as storage (?!) by the people that lived here.
ROOM:
10' wide x 19' long finished foot print.
14' tall vaulted ceiling, but the usable listening space is a lot shallower, around ~ 6' 10" tall
Room Pros: Detached cave from the house where I have 99% freedom of what I can do here.
Room Cons: Not ideal dimensions, neighbor's yards on side and back wall
Me: limited budget, limited time, limited carpentry skills and tools....(I know!)
PROBLEM:
No Bass....standing waves...you know the usual for small rooms
Reflective surfaces...bouncy of side walls...(working on that)
Some reverb and vibrations specially in the "loft" ceiling that vibrates...it has some pull down stairs see pics
I would like to use this thread to document my experience with this listening space as I tackle my acoustic problems and hopefully get some AK knowledge.
Thanks for the tips!
