picostudios said:So where did you get the money for all this?
frederic said:Looking very good Rick.
What kind of room treatments are you planning, if any?
RickW said:I'm paying for things as I go along and can afford it, and I'm also learning the construction end of it at the same time. So, I can only do what I can do. If anyone wants to come and lend a hand, please do!
frederic said:The unfortunate thing about construction studios is this... its fun for a few weeks... its exciting, its exhilirating actually, knowing what you're building is going to be a really fun room, or set of rooms. Then after a few weeks its a friggen drag, as you start to realize the amount of work you just embarked on <G>
Neither can I!! lolcarvin said:Great job man. I can't wait to hear some of the tunes that come out of there.
RickW said:That is SOOO true! I absolutely bit off more than I could chew. I seriously didn't envision going this far, I just wanted a cool recording space. Once I got going, I figured I should do some things "correctly" since I'm building anyway. Then it was..."well, I've gone this far, might as well keep going". Then everything got elaborate. Better electrical, better insulation, better heating and AC...more, more, more.
On the plus side, besides having a room I can enjoy, I also learned a lot along the way. Some of it I didn't want to learn, but it was done out of necessity and I don't regret it. Whether or not I retain it is another story! lol
RickW said:Nope. Haven't recorded anything yet, but have plans to later in the week. It may take a while just to make sure everything's working and all the connections are made. It's Monday afternoon right now and I was supposed to hear from the glass people today....nothing yet. I have a couple more snakes that have to be soldered (I didn't have enough...go figure). I wanted the place up and running by the end of April and here it is...the end of May. I can't take much more!!
