    About to finish out basement, would like to include a studio, need advice

    It's going to be pretty difficult to keep the ceiling and floor from being parallel to each other. What options do I have? Would area rugs help?

    About to finish out basement, would like to include a studio, need advice

    i have an unfinished basement to use as my music room. The space will be about 12' x 22' {3.7m x 6.7m) The two 12' walls will be framed off similar to this at least two of the walls would be very easy to make non-parallel. When attaching the stringer 2x4 to the rafter joists, purposely...

    Comfy chair

    I went to a used furniture outlet. I wanted wheels and removable armrests. Took me a couple of trips to find one I liked. Good thing is, if you don't find it the first time, go a week later and there will be a ton of new (different) stuff. Turns out the chair I got for 80 dollars was a...

    let me see your studio!

    it's roomy for now, I've got a lot more stuff to move into it. Half of our basement at the little old ranch, approximately 12' x 22' for 264 sf (3.7 m x 6.7 for 24.5 ms). This will be the first time all my stuff will be in one place. It will be in two sections, the music section with the...

    Using wireless to record amps mic'd in another room

    I was wondering if anybody had any idea of the amount of latency one could expect if they tried to use wireless to play guitar in one room (where the computer et al is) and another wireless on the mic's amp/cabinet? I've tried using Bluetooth but the latency was ginormous. Well, huge by my...

    wondering why

    I've got a couple of those kicking around, used to plug mics into guitar amps because I was too poor to buy a PA. Or too cheap, forget which. My band was using an Ampeg V-4 and an 8x10 cab as our PA. We were going to use it for our first gig, the one I never got to because I had a motorcycle...

    Christmas trees: diffusers or bass traps?

    Summer's over here, fall is in full blast. It's been a year since I did the demolition of the basement. Things are in limbo for two main reasons. The first being my brother's health. He's facing major surgery in January and has warned me it's far from guaranteed he'll recover and we (meaning...

    The more I look at my basement, the less ...

    I was thinking of some moving blankets on the front and back walls and gobos on the side, I'll have basically one half of the basement. The stairs, HVAC and washer/dryer are the open 'side'. I'm going to have amps, bookcases (2), a work bench, a recording desk. I was definitely thinking of...

    I feel like trying to build a room in it. After demolishing the disaster area that was the finished area where I wish to set up, I have no desire to build another room to have the same problem happen again. I know concrete is a harsh sound reflector. Can free standing gobos help? I'm...

    Recording Studio Storage for Microphones, etc. ?

    Huh, never thought about that. I have a hope chest from my mom's house that I never even thought about using as a mic locker. In fact, it can hold a lot of stuff like boxes, parts, etc. I was ready to put it on FBMP or CL for free, come get it. Plus it would give me some place to put combos...

    Sound Proof Door

    how much air space between double doors would be effective? Hinges on same side of door jam with enough space so the knobs don't occlude each other? Or hinges on opposite sides of the door jam?
