Interview in control room by local TV station a couple weeks ago. Pic #2 shows homemade bass trap in corner and homemade diffusers on wall. Haven't been on here in forever but thought I'd just throw a post in. Posted many photos about 12 years ago of studio construction from foundation...

Wow, what a blast from the past!

Unless you live out in the country (as I do) the out building is typically not a good idea if you have the option of a basement. Unless you have concrete walls you will not be able to prevent the low end (bass drum and bass gtr) from resonating in your neighbor's living room or bedroom. Then...

Bought some stuff off Craigslist local. The 16 Ampex preamps may have been for an Ampex MM1000 or MM1100. Probably something like this: Tech Info: Sonicraft A2DX Lab - PhatZilla: the Ultimate Analogizer droooolllllll........... I think the 3 cards in the front (Reproduce, Bias Amp and...

The pink stuff is good for in the walls only. Completely useless for bass traps or diffusers. You will really be surprised at how effective 2" rigid insulation is when a 2 foot wide piece is placed across (stressed - across) the room corners. When placed flat on a wall it works really good as...

Believe it or not it cost me between $15 - $20K to build it. Contracted to put in concrete slab and erect building. The rest of it was all friends and bandmates contributing labor. Electrical, framing, sheetrocking, painting, etc. We all had a blast doing it too. Rule #1 - No beer until...

Pictures posted. That didn't take long. Resized pics and loaded to Photobucket. Go to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket . If the link didn't post then go to photobucket.com and do a user search for deafmonkeystudio. Maybe someone will get some use from the...

At one time many of them were here on this BBS but I guess they were deleted over time. Man there's so many of them I had to look back on my external drive to find them but I did. I have an old website sitting out there doing nothing so I'll load them either there or one of the free online...

A corner of the room really is the worst possible mix position as your mix (to your ears) at that position will be bass heavy. If possible I would recommend a position about 1/3 the room length from the wall you are facing. I have no idea of your monitor situation so these are just general...

Blast From the Past Wow. It's been so long since I've been on this BBS. Didn't realize its been YEARS! My son (the reason I built the studio) is still performing gigs several times a month, got married several years ago to a really sweet girl, and made me a grand dad 4 months ago. Life is...

Wow. Did you notice the date on the post (Dec 2000). Didn't realize I have been hanging around HR.com for so long even though I haven't visited/posted in quite a while. DD :D

Here's a guy on eBay I've used before. He sells up to 58 pair Mic Snake Cable by the foot. Price ranges from $.59 (2 pair) to $7.49 (58 pair) per foot. His eBay name is texasindependencedave. 100% positive feedback...
