I'm converting my garage in to a studio. I'm building a control room and a live room and individually floating them within the garage. The garage exterior has about 1 inches of stucco. My concern is that the roof consists of 1/2 plywood and composite shingles and I've decided that there's no...

I am building a studio that will take a little more than half of the space in my garage. I am building a room within a room with a floating floor. I 'm removing the fold up garage door and replacing it with a wall that is like the other 3 existing garage walls. The distance between the...

I'm planning to build a small studio in my garage. Is it really effective to build the floor on top of neoprene pucks or something of that sort even when it will be on a slab with no living space underneath it. I will be recording drums. Does a lot of sound travel through the slab when drums...

I'm interested in an XLR patch bay only for easier access for mic plug in. Hosa makes a 12 channel model PDR-369. Is anyone familiar with this unit? Any reason why I shouldn't consider purchasing this? Thanks, Chad

Is it OK to run electrical wire on top of coaxial cable for TV through the studs or will it create noise in the equipment plugged into the circuit it's next to?

I was laid off and fortunately handed a nice severance package. I thought I would take advantage of some of the time and convert a small room into a studio (real fast)haha. Things aren't going real smooth. I'll give you one example. The closet accessible from the two adjoining rooms was made...

I just picked up a used JCM2000 DSL50. When I got it home I noticed a humming noise coming from inside the head itself. This isn't normal is it? Any guesses out there on what is causing this? Thanks, Chad

I decided to go with the mk-012's mainly for drum OH. I can get them for 80 bucks a piece or I can spend between 3 to 4 hundred for a matched pair. What do you think?

I just purchased a Digi 002 and a Digimax LT. This gives me a total of 12 mic preamps. I will be micing drums, bass, guitar and vocals. I'm very new to this and I'm not sure how I use compression? Will I need a number of compressors to run through while tracking, or can I use 1 or 2 and add...

What is the deal with hanging tarpaper on the studs before attaching the sheetrock? Is this worth the cost and effort or is this another egg crate myth? I've read about this but never seen any detailed results. Anyone know how much the sound isolation will be increased if any? I'm converting...

I'm putting home depot type batting insulation in an existing single 2x4 constructed wall. What thickness should I use? R-13 has a thickness of 3.5 inches. What effect would cramming thicker batting like r19 or r30 (10 inches thick) have on the STC? I'm also removing the existing windows...
