What You Must Know About Permits and Zoning Before building Your Recording Studio

To build a legal professional recording studio “with permits” you first have to check with Building and Safety and Plan Check and Zoning.

In Los Angeles for example we have run into several locations that had specific restrictions for recording studios and rehearsal rooms. Of course, this will cost you either your time or if you hire a professional a little bit of money but it is important before you enter into a lease or the planning phase of your recording studio, that you have verified your zoning requirements.

Air Conditioning and Heating Tips for Recording Studios

Something to consider when building a sound proof recording studio is to provide proper ventilation, air conditioning and heating to the spaces. Since the rooms will have air tight seals for doors and windows, you must have proper ventilation and fresh air for your artists and engineers.

Proper Ventilation

The best way to accomplish this is by having a separate fresh air supply blower and a separate exhaust fan blower. This way you can exchange the stale air with fresh air on a constant basis.

Recording Studio Rack Systems and Custom Furniture

If you are planning on a new recording studio or remodeling your existing recording studio it is best to design and develop a plan that will accommodate your new, future and existing gear.

Cable Configuration Needs

Recording engineers have specific needs and the best solution to meet these needs is a custom desk with integrated rack systems that are not only easy to run but also have easy accessibility for your cabling and configuration needs.

Video monitors are a big part of the design and layout not to mention reference monitors and desk space to accommodate these. Proper wire chassis and gutter systems that make easy access for cabling from control room to ISO booths to live rooms is essential.

Recording Studio Soundproofing Tips

When you sound proof rooms for recording you are basically doing 2 things; you are trying to stop sound from coming in and sound from going out. This is accomplished by sealing doors and windows and any place where sound can come in or go out.

Soundproofing Tips

Installing solid core doors, double windows and double wall/ceilings is the best way to accomplish a true sound proof recording room. Using sound silicone weather strip gaskets for doors and windows will accomplish the best results. I also recommend using silicone caulking for all joints including floors and ceiling.

Wood Trim vs Composite Trim

When you are ready to take a look at trim for your home’s exterior it is worthwhile to make sure you select a material that is water resistant and strong enough to last well into the future.

Wood

Wood is a favorite of since it is easy to work with and paints well. Unfortunately, wood is not what it used to be. Wood used for homes is no longer harvested like it once was. Now, for the most part, we get fast-growth, “farm-raised” lumber that is less dense and has a wider grain pattern.

Stucco vs Other Sidings and the Overall Maintenance

Stucco Siding

Stucco is reasonably priced and easy to maintain as well as aesthetically pleasing. With a large variety of stucco colors to choose from, stucco works great with almost any home exterior.

Stucco has been a popular choice for hundreds of years but stucco is more costly than vinyl siding. This is if you are comparing the basic stucco with the basic vinyl siding, depending on the quality they both go up in price.

Make Your Home Unique & Chic With Wallpaper or Wall Designs

Wallpaper has changed and become a lot trendier over the years; it is now one of the most used styles in contemporary interior design. Today’s papers and wall designs can transform any living space into a statement of style and can be a true show piece in any home.

Wall design is a new trend and it is very fun and depending on what you want can be very easy to do. Figure out what kind of design you want, get stencils or hand paint it yourself. You of course can always hire a professional to do it for you but generally depending on the simplicity of the design, it is something you can do yourself, which is always a plus!
