How to build a fUNk shACk (for AnyONe whO caREs aboUT thaT KInd of tHinG)...
1) it was A SHED. that's IT! ==> Roy buiLT it as a WOrkshop...but it is VERY soLid, his Own design, vERY rugged. BUT! It needed a LOT of work to make it drum proof...
4) Inside...acoustic insulation wool, plasterboard, then silicone to seal the joints...did this for 4 inside walls and roof...
<==
<== we have been soundprOOfinG the fUNk shACk for weeKS, But HEy - RoME wasn't bUIlt in a dAY! THis is Going to BE our StuDIo at the BoTTom of the GArdEN. the process IS time consuming...herE are the sTAGes...
5) carpet tiles starting to go up on the plasterboard...adds a layer of rubber for insulation, and the carpet deadens ==> the upper frequencies and reflections...
9) THis is ThE SHACk!!!!!!!! The DRumS sQuEEZe in OnE ENd, and the ==> oRGan and Keys ARE at the OTHEr end WiTH the AMps...there is ENough ROOm for 3 OR 4 PeopLE to PLay...as for the SOundPROOfing, its beTTEr than We THouGHT - minIMAL spilLLAGe, JuST the Kick Drum and BasS spiLls out...BUt it's GrEAT conSIDerING it's a WooDEN strUCture...
2) TheRE was NOThing inside...just lots of crAP. SO we Started BY putting insULatION in the existing BeamWork...
3) Framing the outer wall...this will be another layer of insulation, hopefully going <== some way to helping to kill mid and upper range frequencies...
6) building a dRUM stAge: Old crates filled with INSULATion, then ChiPBOard, then <== RubbER TILes, tHEN conCRETE slABS, then THERE will BE morE cARPET tiLEs...should KiLL aLOT of the DownwARD ProJECTION...
