    So, I have this cave...

    Thats pretty much how it is here. I have seen a few caves with skylights and they make a big difference. I have seen houses that are dug, built, then covered with earth that are better for light, as they have a proper ceiling/roof, then earth placed on top in a more controlled manor. Expensive...

    Only the door really. And the room im thinking of using has a small round window into another room, so will likely block that up. So will insulate in the blocks too. Need to think about air flow while in use though. Not a bug room and only that one door, no window. Think it's a case of what...

    Sorry only just replying to this one. Yes your right, if you gave the wall a whack with anything heavy here its likely a small chunk would come away. not soft, but you can work it with hand tools and a regular masonry drill. Also, this area is rich in saltpeter, so that possibly helps keep them...

    Hahahaha. No, don't worry, cave houses have electricity. Don't forget thay are not damp caves created naturally by running water. They are generally dug where there are natural caves forming from years of wind erosion. They are just regular houses in regular villages. But instead of building...

    Definitely agree, need to test it first the will be back on with an update thread. IT will primarily be for mixing and mastering than recording, so need it more dead, but we will see.

    Yea that's where I fall short. I can draw from life, but 95% of the time I don't. Like to sit at my desk with music blaring, gets me in the mode better. But I think as I get older I will get back into painting and sitting our to so artwork. Respect to you for keeping it traditional 👌

    @Ed Fones I know where your coming from, I have family who moved into a barn conversion with very little thought, and I always worry as a barn wont have the same foundations or underpinning, the walls aren't meant for an extra floor being put in etc. Just fingers crossed whoever converted it...

    Love the straw hat painting. Whats the Anime? I like some older stuff, Laputa, Warriors of the Wind, Akira, Guyver, not seen a lot of newer stuff. Monster was the last series I watched. And the one with the dumplings singing at the beginning, think it was set in a school and one of thems parents...

    OK, I see there are still some people need convincing about cave houses being a real thing nowadays. Ed Fones Yea I think if you havent seen or heard of a modern cave house, its better to either not think about it or google em. Some are amazing ,some are unfinished and suitable for storage or in...

    the cave cinema I would say doesnt have much reverb at all. Its about 10ft x 25ft, with the screen on the long wall. But I have a row of 8 old cinema seats, upholstered ones, so think that deadens a lot of the sound as it fills 2/3rds of the wall opposite the speakers. When we were cave...

    So, I have this cave...

    Yea I dont think its anything specific, locals call it rock, or clay, Id say its on its way to becoming sandstone, give it another 500,000 years maybe hahahahaha. So its kind of soft. or certainly on the softest end of the rocky spectrum. I need to get in there with some good speakers and test...

    What video editing software do you use?

    I use Adobe Premier Pro, and dabble/learning After Effects too. But also Photoshop and Illustrator for graphic elements. I have the Adobe CC (Creative Cloud), so monthly subscription, but I use it all a lot so worth it for me. They do different packaged with different sets of software, but if...

    Slouching Raymond - Right, so the exterior shot is the door to my raw caves. That's the term the locals use as they are dug out, useable for storage etc, but unfinished, no flooring or wall treatment or utilities. The photo with the trough is the room I mentioned with the hole into next doors...
