The reason behind the treatment
The reason the bass trapping is the way it is, is because when I worked out the logistics of the treatment with Auralex. I told them I was not only going to mix in the room but I would also be doing some recording in the same space. We decided to go with...
Mine ended up in the basement, gutted the basement, took a third of it and created the studio. See my thread in this section...The Building of Mixmagix.
God cabling is a must
I agree with DintyMoore..... Mogami, Canare, and Neutrik are the only way to go and make them yourself it's not that hard. Just pay attention to the phasing. I get my stuff from PacRad, (Pacific Radio) Google them. Cheap cables will cost you in your overall sound quality.

I have always liked looking at pictures of other people's home studios to see there creativeness on building a place to work on their music projects. I bought my house about 22 years ago and immediately gutted the finished basement to create my own "little cave" to hide out and try to create the...
Drain wire
That's interesting, I'm also using Mogami 2936 24-chan. right now. So if I understand you correctly you just include the drain wire into the solder connection WITH the shield at both ends ? ? I had it in my head for some reason that one end of the drain was left disconnected for...
How much to charge ? ?

Drum soundproofing
You have two options:
1) Invite the neighbors over and teach 'em how to play drums. They'll have visions of being the next John Bonham, go buy drums themselves and think your cool ! !
2) The thing about soundproofing is that it's done with "density" and or "dead air space"...
I'm presently wiring up a +4 console in my studio with some Mogami snakes and I can't remember what the correct hook-up procedure is for the "drain wire". Anyone remember ? ?
