I’d like to make my room into a small recording studio, mainly for Acoustic guitar and soft at times loud vocals.. is it possible? I live on a 2nd story house with carpeted flooring, a huge closet with a sliding door, built in room cabinets?, and a window the size of about 5×8. The room is about 11×11 with my everyday essentials such as a very tall desktop with my computer, bed, tv, dresser, clothes, ect.. The walls are dry wall, and the ceiling has a very spikey-rough-dry wall-ish type of texture..
I recently purchased 4x twin mattress foam pads, 1 inch thick and each the size of a twin bed. I’ve already placed 1 mattress pad on my door which only covers 9/10th of the door… should it cover the complete door? i also placed a mattress foam pad on my ceiling, and then i placed another mattress foam pad covering my whole window..
i will also place 1 more mattress pad i have randomly somewhere on my wall.
Do I have to cover my WHOLE room with mattress pads? how about the flooring? i’ve heard someone say you also have to cover the floor somehow as well, as well as the ceiling? if the whole room doesn’t have to be covered with mattress foam pads, how far apart does each one have to be from each other? Will it be okay if my closet took up 1/6th of my room? it has a bunch of clothes.. i can close the closet with my sliding door.. will that effect the sounds? should I place the mattress foam pad on the sliding door?
what have I done wrong so far? what do i need? I’d love to buy things at a very affordable rate as i’m going to college next week so my cash is a bit strict
will mattress foam pads work? i’ve read people saying they’ve used mattress pads, egg cartons, ect. to ‘soundproof’ a room. I basically want to sound proof my room.
Sorry for the long post.. I’d just like to be as detailed as possible.
