Hi, I have a studio in an apartment that mostly consists of college kids and the walls are pretty thin. I make hip hop beats which tends to be a bit bass heavy at times. My setup consists of 2 Adam A7 monitors, a KRK 10 subwoofer, and acoustic treatment.
While I would love to turn it all the way up while mixing/producing a song, its not possible because of how ridiculously loud it can get. My neighbors would knock on the wall. So I tend to keep it almost halfway up but then I notice how sloppy my mixes tend to be because im not listening to it at full volume. I have recently decided to move to downtown Chicago to work on music in a 2 bedroom apartment. I have alot of questions. Do you think apartments in the city will be more lenient? Do you think that the walls might offer more soundproofing? My current apartment does have crappy walls. Or am i out of luck and will probably just have to mix/produce with my volume no where near full? any tips or advice would greatly be appreciated.
