I live in a townhouse, and I want to build a recording studio. Should I?

Posted: January 23, 2012 – 11:26 pm

In case you don’t know, a townhouse is like a house split in half. I want to build a recording studio in one of the rooms in the basement. Should I?

Sure you can, as long as it is next to your neighbor’s master bedroom.

What floor is the recording studio built in tiny tower?

Which shop you get is random. It could be the next floor you build, it could be the 149th floor you build.
Also, now it’s less likely you’ll get it. They added about 4 new floors with the most recent update.

Can i use beats by Dre headphones in a home recording studio?

Posted: November 11, 2011 – 8:50 pm

Whenever i watch videos or read things about building a home recording studio, they always say you need headphones so you can hear yourself. So i was wondering if Dre headphones would be good enough to use, or if i needed a specific home recording kind. Anything will help thanx guys:)

Dre headphones are not the best option for a home recording studio. Sure you can use them but If you’re serious about it then you won’t. The brands I would recommend for home recording are Audio-Technica (particularly their ATH-M50), Sony, AKG and to a certain extent Sennheiser.

Those 4 brands I mentioned are used in the professional industry! If you ever go to a real recording studio, they WILL have those brands lying around. AKG might be a good selection since 80% of their headphone line are true studio headphones. Sony’s are okay and I said to an extent Sennheiser because in my opinion their only studio headphones are the HD600 and HD650. Anything else from them is more for "home use" but the models mentioned are over the price for Dre’s.

Building a Studio: Soundproofing & Acoustics

Posted: September 20, 2011 – 2:44 am

Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers questions from off of his Guitar Blog website…

Q). I’d like to know more about building a music room, especially soundproofing and acoustics of a room?
- Caleb – Davenport, Iowa.

A). I’d like to clarify the difference between room acoustics & soundproofing because these are two different things. Keep in mind that just because you build a soundproof room, there’s no guarantee that you’ll have good sound in that room. On the flip-side, it’s also possible to build a great sounding room that your next-door neighbor will hate you for every time you decide to do some jamming. Let’s begin with sound-proofing, because this one has a lot to do with how much money you have to spend on a room. Sound-proofing essentially costs a great deal of money to do because you need to have a good amount of density and it costs quite a lot of money to create say a 14″ thick wall of various materials such as; lead-lined sheetrock, concrete, and say perhaps a room floating on resilient channeling, etc. Once you start the soundproofing process, it may feel like your architect or contractor is using 50 dollar bills to soundproof your room! On the acoustics side, most modern rooms are not pillow dead. They typically have dampening in the corners to avoid bass build-up, and they will also tend to use some sound diffusers to control the amount of “liveness” in a room without drying it out. Listening room acoustics can be controlled in a fairly lo-cost way with Acoustic dampeners from companies such as; RPG Diffusers, Auralex or Primacoustic. A kit of diffuser panels will do wonders for a recording studio and won’t break your bank account!
