I saw that HGTV show. :o You're right. Its obvious that they didn't do one iota of research. :rolleyes:

48V phantom power from the pre-amp - isn't that what mic cable carries? That's enough to give you a good wallop.

That's not much "shelf space" to place your audio monitors on. They look.... precarious. Other than that, it looks real good!

Look into a Yamaha O1V. They're getting REAL cheap now. It has 12 mono, and 2 stereo faders, plus a master - all motorized. The O1V will controll more than just the faders too. I use Nuendo, and it works well with that, so I'm sure it'll work with Cubase. You'll get a nice controller, and a...

Here's a shot of my living room. Note the hand painted mural on the wall. This was modeled after an actual ruin outside of Tuscany.

Thanks man. I feel fortunate. Party at my place! :D

And finally bring it into this room. There is another entrance to this room from the outside, but its a pathway that's not paved, and its kinda steep.

Then they had to negotiate it through here:

My piano movers are amazing!! I call them "My" piano movers because, they are the ONLY ones I'll use. Its a group here in Austin called Cobra Piano Movers". They first had to get that 7'-2" Grand down here: (Of course, at the time, there was no ice on the stairs. :p

So.... looks like I'm building a studio! Again. :( :D

Ooooppps! That was the air handler. Here's the return air:

The "Main" room's dimension's are roughly 35'x14'x8'h The equipment room is about 9'x14'x8'h There's a full bath that is about 9'x10'x8'h The studio has its own HVAC system, completely separate from tho house, and Get This!: Its isolated from the room! It sits about 20 feet away in a sort...
