    Putty Pads

    I got these in the mail from acoustic solutions, the other day. I have about 12 more to do. I've never worked with these before; they sure are messy. Do these look right, as far as installation goes?

    A little rockwool action:

    I still have a lot more of this to do, but it almost feels like I have walls! instead of studs. This view is looking towards the drum room from the live room.

    Lost a link

    Does anyone have a link to those putty packs that Rod Gervias posted? I can't seem to find them locally, so I'm going to have to order them.

    A tale of two... connectors

    OK, I got my TRS connectors in, and started to install them in the pannels. As I got to looking around at them, I noticed some of them are different. Most of them have only 3 connection points. Seems reasonable; Tip, Ring, and Sleeve, right? But a half dozen or so have additional connection...

    Couple pics.

    2100 sq. ft rockwool. R30 insulation in the ceiling. I'm more concerned with R value in the small attic space than anything else Finillay got a mason to do the columns on the patio. Lots of work has been going on, but things just don't look a whole lot different from the last update. I'm...

    It rained in my studio yesterday.

    I don't mean it rained here and some rain got inside, I mean it practically rained INSIDE the studio. It's been really humid here the past week, and I had taken one of the front doors off to relacquer it. It took a little more than a day to dry. So it was off all the time, and the studio was...

    Ring, Tip & Sleeve

    Hey guys: I'm finishing up the wall plates for the studio, and I need to wire in some 1/4" stereo headphone jacks. How do Ring, Tip, and Sleeve relate to Hot, Netural, and Ground? (I think I have it in a book somewhere, but its in the attic, and I don't like going up there. Its spooky!) :(...

    Alright Fellow woodworkers...

    Help me out here: How is this type of paneling done? It looks like a solid piece of wood with a rabbit routed through it. But that seems like it'd be awfully heavy. The rabbit... or is it a dado? is probably at least 1/4" deep... maybe 3/8" and probably at least that wide. Could a body use a...

    Step and Landing

    If you've been following tubedude's "What the hell is Rockwool" thread, then you know what this is all about. Doweling in the steel: I actually ram-set the form to the patio. The bags are just there to square it up so it didn't move on me.

    More on firestops

    My inspector said I had to have fire stops at the 10' level between all adjacent double walls. Here's a few pics: This is looking straight up between the drum room and the live room.

    DAW control surfaces

    I currently use a Yamaha O1V as a control surface for Nuendo. But it only allows control of 14 channels and a master. I need control of 24 channels. I can really make the O1V fly as a control surface, I've used it a lot, and I'm used to it. So I could either get another O1V and "piggy-back" it...

    Recommend a Really Nice Compressor for me...

    ... But don't say an RNC. :p I currently use Nuendo, and all of its proprietary hardware to record. It has 2 pretty decent types of compressor in it, but I'd like to invest in rack mounted units as well. I have a special afinity for vintage front ends too. ;) The rest of my chain is...

    Firestops

    OK, so I had Electrical, Mechanical, and Framing reinspected. The Electrical and Mechanical passed!!! Now, to get the framing signed off, I have to install firestops between all the adjacent interior walls. What this means, specifically, is at the top of 2 adjacent walls, (like between the CR...

    Anyone figured out how to record a phone conversation?

    I have a (potential) client that wants me to record a phone conversation for training purposes for his business. I have a Nuendo (PC) based system, with the Steinberg 96/52 sound card, tons o' mikes and a butt-load of pres. Inputs on the card are ADAT and S/PDIF. I need to record the...

    Framing punch list

    I met with the inspector for the framing of my studio, to go over his punch list. He had a few minor things to address, and most of them have been done. But there's one item remaining before I can call for a re-inspection: Cross-Brace Interior walls He's talking about the main Live-Room wall...

    2520 op amps: What's the difference....
