Wow, this thread has opened my eyes a bit. I did not realize that they were so close regarding STCs. The price certainly makes it worthwhile using them. I know that several of you have built with Steel - can you give those of us who are about to begin construction some tips? I've never...

LSF, The iso box looks like the ticket. Any idea of the specs on it, in terms of components used? I can figure out the measurements I need, but I'm not so sure of the materials to use to get the best effect. Thanks, bushice

Steel studs are not recommended for recording studio construction. Wood is superior, because it absorbs sound better than steel, and won't create resonating frequencies like steel can. I know that John Sayer has mentioned to stay away from it, and it makes sense, given the reflective and...

I know I've seen several examples here over the last few months of a box for a computer, and one for an amp, but I can't find the links to them, and I need to design a box that will reduce the sound of a small motor, used for a pool filter. It is about the length of a loaf of bread, and maybe...

Thanks for the link. I found this one: http://www.cdbm.com/shop/detail.cgi?id=128600 $159.00, free shipping over $100 purchase. Seems like a good deal. anyone seen better?

Anyone have any reliable websites where I could buy an M-audio Audiophile sound card for a good price? I've found 2, but was hoping to compare them with a few others. Thanks, Bushice

1. Why don't you design some studios, and present them for people to critique? That's a good way for you to learn, find out what works and what does not. Stealing someone elses complete design idea and replicating it as your own isn't very cool, but implementing parts of a good design you...

If you get the pro version of XP, as opposed to the Home version, you won't have all of that pain in the ass on line verification crap to deal with. Also, it is very stable, and supports peripherals much better than win 2000 does. Just make sure you have all of yoru updated drivers in yoru box...

Living in So california, energy is a big issue. Despite having a full central heat/air system in the house, I won't be tying my garage studio into it. Otherwise I'll be heating/cooling every room in the house whenever I'm in the studio and vice versa, or I would have to go around and close /...

If the monitors do not have rubber feet, you will want to put a rubber pad under them, too, to reduce vibration noises and the likelihood they'll move around on you and maybe fall off the stands.

Dale, You need to give it more than just a few days here for responses. Besides, you will probably find a lot of answers on John Sayers site. he has a lot of photos up of projects, including several garage and basement ones. Check his site out: http://locall.dataline.net.au/~johnsay/...

yeah, I agree. Have you got $139 bucks to spare, so you can buy one and take it apart :)

My Bad. I was thinking of slot resonators. Bushice

how about a diagram or pic, with room dimensions? Can't do many calculations without em ;)

Any idea what's inside those PPD panels? That guy seems to know what he's doing. Be nice to see a string of pics showing the entire manufacturing process of them. They sell them for $139-300 bucks. Here's a more specific link: http://www.jdbsound.com/art/noisebut.htm
