Hey gang... It's been a looong time since I've posted anything, but I wanted some opinions and help with my latest issue. I've built the studio (I need to post pics) and am VERY happy with how it turned out. I can hear things through the ceiling (from the floor above), but NOTHING from the...

Hey all... Sorry for the crappy pictures, but here are some shots of my rooms which are FINALLY nearing completion. Long story, but the city sort of forced me to complete the space. Doors went on order today... trim arrives this next week... carpet and flooring is being worked out as we...

Hey Rod, Fitz and Knightfly... Its been forever, but I am approaching the drywall time of the studio rooms in my basement. I'm actually taking this week and next week off of work to get it ready. As a refresher, here's what's going down... its a studio in a poured concrete basement. Drywall...

Hey gang, Just a quick question about doors... we have 6 panel "classic" style hollow core doors in our house. Obviously, these wouldn't be very good for the studio area that I'm building, so I asked the door manufacturer to give me some options. He can provide metal exterior grade doors...

Hey guys, Got a little bit of a quandary and wanted to expert advice. My house is only 5 years old and we are just starting to finish the basement. Recently we ripped out the insulation (was there by code) to do some wiring and found MANY places with mold due to condensation on the cement...

Hey all... Well its finally come to be that time. My wife and I are starting construction on our basement in a few weeks. Part of the basement is the studio area... YIPPEEE!!! I do have a couple of questions though for you experts: 1) The outer walls exist already (2x4 with insulation up...

Ok.. so a band mate of mine was searching through some old songs and came across something that our keyboard player and I recorded. My keyboard player wrote it for a friend of his as a joke... I had forgotten how funny it was. My keyboard player wrote the song and lyrics, sang and did all the...

Hey guys and gals... My band recently signed with a radio promoter who had a pick of 13 songs from an album for one to put out on the radio... He picked probably the last song that ANY of us thought he'd pick. Made me start thinking that maybe its not a bad tune, so I thought I'd post a link...

Ok.. so I've been re-listening to some songs that I did 2 years ago. Partially because I'm working on re-releasing it with a new distribution contract. I'll post links to songs that I don't think I posted way back when just to see what y'all think...

Hey all... I have a friend who is looking to do some bass trapping etc in a church that he recently got a job at. The dimensions of the room are 97 feet wide x 73 feet deep, with a ceiling height of 28 feet. The floor is hardwood (basketball court) and the ceiling is exposed metal rafters...

Ok... the time has come (YEAH!!!) for me to submit my building plans to the city permit office. In doing so, I need to give a rough idea of my electrical configuration as well. My question is this... assuming I have a sub panel in the studio (which I will), how should circuits be split up...

Hey Gang... Its my birthday today ;) And I'm rewarding myself with some new studio software. I'd like to buy a loop sequencing program for PC to help me assemble drum/effect loops for the purpose of songwriting etc. I've looked at both ACID and LIVE (ableton)... and I like Acid a little...

Ok... so in my studio I get a pretty decent sound... but I'm looking to upgrade my f/x units. Right now I've got the following: Sony DSP-v55 (love it!!! will keep in studio) Digitech DSP-128+ (needs to go away) Alesis Microverb (needs to go away) Digitech GSP-21 (needs to go away) and of...

Hey all... I just talked to my local building department and as a home owner I actually have to pay $20 to take a 1 hour test for ANY electrical work (I just want to add *one* outlet to an existing circuit)... as well, then I have to get a $15 electrical permit and have the work inspected. I...

Hey all... Quick question... vapor barriers on insulation... As I understand it you do not want more than one vapor barrier, because it will hinder how effective the barrier works. I'm drywalling a ceiling to a second story loft (have to finish this before I can do the studio drywall)...

Hey everyone... CNN had a news article today on machines being too loud in the workplace. They mentioned a company www.endpcnoise.com that makes "silent" pc's and sells silent parts. I figured this would be very applicable to the studio environment, as it may mean not having to fully enclose...

Well... It finally happened... had my first issue with my HD24 (granted this is after 1+ years of no issues). I went to fire it up yesterday to copy a few scratch tracks for a friend and the drive wouldn't change between songs... it would pull up the title, but not pull up the length of the...

Ok... I've had people ask me so I thought I'd post here about it... please excuse the commercial content of this message... My band's CD "Blue Goodbye" (the band is 'just william.') released nationally yesterday (Sept. 23). Since we are beacoup dollars in debt, I need all the help selling...
