Yes it's true....and I guess I too get to document the trials and tribulations of making a new space.

Meeting with contractor today to design window security system.
Bought grey deck paint and primer
last night for the floor.

As soon as the window is secure and the floor is dry I'm packing up and moving all the gear.

One open room Lanois style setup [no headphones maybe??]

Amazing tiled bathroom/echo chamber across the hall. [looking for 100 ft cables to run a P/A speaker and mic when I need reverb] I can also use the huge hallways for distance micing/reamping
]

Going to keep things simple and not do any build out. Just treatments
and rugs.
Not sure if I should take out the ceiling tiles..the ceiling looks a bit messy but maybe I'll do it over where the drums will be?? gives it about an extra foot and a half of height [ up to around 13 ft.]

At least peek up beyond the tiles and see what you have up there. They typically conceal a multitude of sins. Looks like a nice size space.

I guess I have to post them in facebook first..

there's at least 30" of extra height but landlord said I can't take the drop ceiling frame down bit I can remove the tiles ceiling is already around 11 ft
Do you guys think this will make a big difference?

Looked up there and in 95% of the ceiling is not too bad except over the mixing console
I'll probably just put a cloud up there
Put some frosted paper in the windows
Put custom made security bars with an escape door.
Painted the floors /battleship grey
Installed the internet cable modem
long ass day

It's taking forever to really dry and it's getting messed up already not sure if it's going to last....but it did make a big difference looks wise.
Going to put rugs in the different areas.
More wiring tomorrow!!

I'd keep the ceiling grid, and turn it into acoustic treatment. You can get real Ceiling Tiles designed for music rooms, or use the grid to build DIY tiles to stuff in there. If you do it right you can turn the entire ceiling into a bass trap, and also selectively absorb high frequencies in appropriate spots:

What's your treatment strategy for the space?

Looking at ideas for making the back wall a diffuser without spending money...

I've heard bookcase..

I may do that or lots of driftwood at different levels....any other ideas??

Getting really busy....the non-stop kind of work that I love..

Anyway I pulled a powered pa speaker into the tiled bathroom and recorded snare and then vocals...the room by itself has a long reverb and sounds cool. so Im going to try the entry way which seems a little smoother and then the stairwell at the end of the hall..I'll post examples
