Hey. Hope I posted in the right sub forum.
I'm building, slowly and step by step, a recording room away from my main mixing room. It's across the hallway. It's super quiet. Small. Kinda like 2 meters and a half by 2 meters and a half (can't find my measurer). It's odlly shape in a way that helps. The room will be stripped of everything, only the walls will be left. A plumber will secure the water tubes.
I have worked in small recording rooms, and know my way around them. I'll throw a snake and aux the vocals through an amp with reverb. Record vocals using the materials of the walls or dampen it. Crank up those old fender amps and get the characteristics of the amps. Maybe put my movable soldering station there.
My question is, as you can see in the pictures, the room is stripped of the wall material. I was planning in just placing cement on the floor, and plaster the walls. Quick and easy, and I'm ready to go. And use materials that I have at hand for dampening or changing the sound. Materials that I can move easily by hand. Like wooden planks and so on.
Then I'l get creative. Cover it with tiles and slidable wooden panels. Place removable dampening materials to deaden the room that will hang from a tube.
The question is, is it best practice to place cement on the floor and plaster the walls to get a quick start, or is there another way of doing this?
Is there any trick of the trade worth mentioning? (using heavier plaster mix for better sound, etc)
Any recomendations?
