Hi there, recently I posted a similar post about how to minimize sound going thru windows. I was planning on making the soundproofing permanant by putting a layer of sheet rock, then sound board then another layer of sheet rock in the windows and sealing them up with caulk. This should bring...

Hi, I'm planning on adding bass traps and 703 to my control room and tracking rooms using the advice of Mr. Ethan Winer. I was planning on using 4 Auralex T-Fusors on the back wall of the control room BUT i just found out there $45 each. YIKES! That seems like a lot for molded plastic...

Hey Guys, Anyone know what to use to plug a window to keep sound from going out/coming in. I don't care about seeing thru it just want to kill the sound. I'm thinking about just using Celotex or Drywall and boarding them up and caulking them in. I know there is comercial stuff you can buy...

Anyone have any good plans for "plugs" etc. to soundproof windows. I've heard about Cellotex (black plywood looking stuff), how about this stuff with some insulation on it. Any direction would be great. Thanks Jason

Hey Guys, First of all I've been reading some old posts and thanks to all who have contributed, great info on here. O.K. I'm about ready to get the acoustic treatment going but have a few ?'s for you guys. 1st. My main live room (18'x20' approx. but not really square, vaulted ceilings and...

Hey Guys, I need a little help on monitor placement. The Scenario: Right now my monitors are back about 2 inches from the wall, the left one is about a foot from the nearest corner. The right one is about 3 feet from the corner due to being next to a door. My desk is 47" wide with my...

Hey there, I'm trying to get my control room (and tracking room for that matter) tamed, acousticly speaking. I'm considering building bass traps etc. to tame the rooms but also wondering if a dual 31 band eq (alesis MEQ230, or digital eq etc) would be helpfull as well. My freind has an RTA and...

hi there, I'm using my living room and two spare bedrooms as a semi pro recoding studio. I've had great luck so far with no acoustic treatment but I realize (i think) the advantages of controling the rooms sound more. Where's a good place to get started? I know about Auralex but at the moment...

Hey there. I'm doing a session this weekend where the artist wants a jazzy sounding kit. My drummers going to bring a 16" floor tom converted into a kick, very small tom's and of course snare and cymbals. We have a 20'x20' vaulted ceiling/hardwood floor room that's empty for tracking and I...

Hey Guys, Doing the project studio thing and needing some upgrading. Right now I'm using the NT 2 and Oktava MK-012's with an Allen and Heath mixer and Joe Meek VC3Q. (will be recording to a Nuendo PC system with a UAD-1 Card and 2 Delta 10/10's. I'm looking at the TLM 103, Shure KSM 32 or...

Hi, I'm new to Computer based recording and I'm trying to decide b/t a Pro Tools (digi 001-002) Mac system or a Pc based Nuendo system. Right now I have just a Roland VSR-880 to record to and charge people to come in and record. We get pretty good sounds(it's a pretty cool little unit) but we're...

O.k. Here's another for you. I'm looking at getting this board and love it all except I'm not sure if it has sub groups or not. Anyone know? How would I be able to sub group drums on 1-8 and send them to 2 tracks on a recorder for live use? In the studio how could I take drum tracks 1-8 via...

Hey there everyone, I'm running a project studio and was wanting to upgrade my mic pre/compressor situation. Looking for something to use for vocals, bass, kick or snare, and guitars. I'm looking at the DBX 576 @ $799 (a little more than I'd like to spend), and the 376 @ $00. (there's also...

Hi I'm in need of a mixer with 16 direct outs. I'll be using it in the studio, stage and doing live recording. It will be housed in a good roadcase to protect it. I have a Behringer 2642A currently and have had no complaints with it and its seen lots of use. Anyone know how the pre's b/t...
