Help building a studio

[skills4kills]

Well after over 5 years of having my production setup in my bedroom, I have finally saved up to build a custom studio at my new pad. I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction to get information regarding the proper dimensions of a studio when producing electronic music, everything I can find is about an actual bands setup. Im not concerned with a recording booth, I simply want to know good room dimensions to make an accurate mix. The width of the room is 14'6" height is 8' and I pretty much have as much room to work with as i want in regards to the length. Anyone who has any information at all it would be greatly appreciated. I have two krk 8s and a krk 10 sub.

Check out the Gearslutz Studio Building subforum. Do enough reading on there and you should be able to design a pimp studio. Since you're not gonna require a live room for recording, you'll just need a control room.

If I was you I would consider a vocal booth. It dosnt take up loads of space, low cost to build and will come in really handy.

Yeah if you've got a lot of length to work with, I'd put a little recording booth in there too. Useful for recording bits of percussion and stuff like that. Plus you can rent out your studio to bands and vocalists. Pick one of the ideal ratios (you'll find them listed on gearslutz) and then see if you've got extra room. If you've got the money, you can really go nuts and put in floating walls as well. At least in the front and back since you have extra space in that dimension.
