Creating the vocal booth took some time to think out. I added a side window to see the beautiful landscapes and gardens. Also added a window of the front door of the vocal booth. Also added a backdoor to the vocal booth for added storage or space needed.

We added rubber flooring, a back door and painted all the 2x4's black to match the acoustic foam that will go up later to control sound absorption.

This happens to be my favorite feature of the vocal booth. I aligned the vocal booth window to match the outside window so when I sing I can view the beautiful mountains and groves.

This is the begining of the vocal booth. Added the first small control shelf.

Here you can see I started adding the top foam panel. Omgosh that was hard trying to keep those up there without falling down. I applied glue and staples.

This is the start of the foam panels being applied to the drum room. Here you can see I already added the carpet. That was a lot of fun adding...not.

This is a view of the vocal booth completed. I added some carpeting over the rubber flooring.

Drum Room - More foam filled in

I added thick 6 inch foam panels to the bottom to absorb bass sound from the kick drum and 4inch foam to the rest of the room. Also I added some mood lighting. On the side are exhaust fans, in/out to move air around.

This was the start of my very LONG puzzle. I just kept applying the foam. I totally felt like I was inside of a puzzle for days or maybe it was all the glue that made me feel that way. LOL

Vocal Booth - Without designer foam, with plain boat carpet.

Yes that is correct. This vocal booth has two doors. Like I said, I thought this out. I wanted everything. The back door leads to a hidden storage area for mic, stands, amps, etc. This backdoor also works great if I want to expland the room for more than one person, or add a little bit of reverb because this room is very dead on sound.

This the flooring of the vocal booth. I applied a rubber foam to the buttom and added any wiring that I thought I might need before I added the carpet. You will also notice I painted the 2x4s black to match the foam.

This is the inside of the drum room door. I did not want to put a window in this door because I did not want any sound to leak out. It worked!

This the inside of the vocal booth door. I love the design. I took sometime on putting all the pieces together and this is what I came up with.

Vocal Booth - Here you can see the foam being added to the walls. I added some designer pieces to give the room more character.

Another view of the drum and vocal booth

This is one of my mixers in the control room. There are a total of three mixers. Two in the control room and one in the vocal booth. I also have a Presounus Firestudio. I use the FireStudio for must of the new recordings and this mixer as a breakout box. Allowing band members to plug in and play.

Another view of the control room with come pretty cool foam panels. Very stylish.

This is another view of the control room. The room is equiped with heating and cooling. You might notice foam strips in the corner. This is to control the room for bass sounds. This control can also be used to record the band because the room has very little reverb.

This is my custom midi guitar that I placed designer foam behind to make it look nice on the wall and absorb sound.

This is another view of the control room. It sure has changed since this picture. I have more recording and mixing eq which is not shown here.

This is one of the walls in the control room. I call it a semi-control room because I don't have a window to divide the rooms but I didn't think I needed to with the drum room and vocal booth being contained in there own rooms. I put designer foam though-out the room to control the sound.

I thought long and hard on how I wanted the outside of the vocal booth and drum to look. I applied boat carpet material to all the outside walls. Glued it down and followed up with the staple gun. Then I added designer acoustic foam to control the sound in the control room and to give it a nice look.

This is the vocal booth. I have added a few more things to the vocal booth since this picture. I added a mixer control shelf, a computer keyboard shelf and another montior. I have two monitors in there now. I wanted to build this booth to be used as both a vocal booth and a control center so when I record by myself, I could record in the vocal booth and also mix at the same time. The computer is in the control room. The trick to all this was having double of everything. Wires and all. That way I could mix in the control if I wanted and not be in the vocal booth.
