lol I have only a GoPro camera more gear to come
Where's the recording studio?
...but I'm basking in the glow of pride from finishing the desk today.
In that room, untreated (really, in almost *any* room untreated), REW is just going to show chaos. And an EQ filter is going to filter out the chaos and the problem will remain -- Only now, you won't be able to hear it.
A "base coat" of room treatment first - all the time, every time. And speaking of -- If those starter kits involve foam, I'd highly recommend against. Get a bunch of (242?) panels from GIK, maybe add a few bags of heavy insulation (just leave it right in the bags and stuff the corners of the room). You're going to need a lot (a LOT) of low end trapping in that space. Foam isn't going to handle it and EQ'ing it away isn't going to fix it - It's going to hide it.
Ow man, i didn't see all 400+ pages but i've seen some very nice creative studio's among these.
Compliments.
I'm rather jealous. This is mine.

and this funny post truly has some reality in it. LOL
Aaaaaahhhhh, for real? ..... 16bit and 44.1 sound quality with build in mic? To less IMO for real recordings (although surpricingly better than expected).
I only use this app to register unexpected inspiration outside my real studio, or to kill 'wasting-waiting-time' with it. Melody and/or text. And although i use it for real, off course my image was slightly meant for fun.
And about your $200,000.00 studio statement, i agree. The most important is that you have to have something good to record.
Hey John, thank you very much for the advice. I first learned about the REW when I watched a sound man setting it up for a remote location recording inside a gym. He further told me that it was a very good way to see where to place your mixing console as well as your monitors and it would be very helpful with the placement of the sound treatment for my control room. I have watched dozens of videos showing how this system works.
As far as the tracking room, this is what it says about the panels. "Primacoustic London room kits are made up of Broadway acoustic panels. These panels aren't really what is conventionally called foam, as they're made from a high-density 6lb-per-cubic-foot fiberglass. This denser material provides almost five times greater absorption than typical foam. That equates to less foam on the wall and more absorption for a clean look and better sound".
Again, I have watched many videos showing the before and after effects of using their system. It is impressive. You can view the kit here. I have a very limited budget for my home studio and after watching dozens of DYI videos to build them myself, I am better off just buying them. I do have the tools + knowledge to follow their instructions, I just really don't have the time.
When I get to the point of designing the sound treatment for my control room, I would love to get your advice before I invest, if you have the time. I did check out your studio and it is very impressive. I also think we may be able to do business. I have no problem recording and mixing the audio, however, I have always been taught that the file should always be sent to a mastering engineer to finalize. Thanks again for your advice.
Anyway, I still like your sound treatment!
The Primacoustics will do what it says - help with flutter echo. What 1.5" and 1" thick panels WON'T do is tame low frequencies - bass and low mids. If you're close-miking everything in the tracking room, its not such a big deal there (but helps), but in your mixing room, its absolutely needed.
latest updates to nothing but you recording:View attachment 100452
new monitors, added pre-sonus faderport 8 and rearranged the rack for more efficient work-flow.
