I went there yesterday, and all they were offering was 10% off. Guess they're not too interested in clearing out their inventory. Hell, GC gave me tax exempt status, that's 8% off - right off the bat. Maybe as the days wear on their prices will come down?

OK, so when you have a "room within a room" studio, the exterior walls get drywall-strand board-drywall on the enterior side right? OK so then the "second room" walls go up, but do you drywall the "backside" of those? That side of the wall which would have the airspace? It would seem nearly...

I thought this was pretty cool. 3D rendering of my framing plan. Exterior walls have been deleted for clarity.

Studio real estate sure gets eaten up fast when you start detailing out the walls, and how everything will fit together. This is a revised plan view of the detailed framing plan I'm working on. I had some difficulties at the corner of the control-room adjacent to the vocal booth. Fitting a...

If installed per this plan: How effective would the Event 20/20 BAS monitors perform in this situation? If not those, I read somewhere that the JBL LSR28P's make for good soffit mounted mains. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I have a pair of the Events and if those would work, great; but if...

If you have non-paralell walls, then you're going to end up with some acute angles. Do they pose any particular nasties for acoustics? If so, what's the best way to deal with them?

In reviewing my plan set, I thought I would make some modifications to the control room size. I shortened it by 2' because I wanted some more space for the "live room". The control room is trapazodial in plan so its dimensions are 18'-3" long, and 20'-6" wide at the rear, and 13'6" wide at the...

I'm working on a detailed framing and foundation plans for my proposed studio. The nominal dimensions are 30'x40'x12'h. I plan on having the foundation contractor set a "brick ledge" for the exterior. In normal construction techniques, this is done by nailing a 2x4 to the top of the inside...

Well, I received 2 bids for the HVAC in my "planned" studio today. One was for $3800. The other was for $7800. Big difference in price, huh? The $7800 bid was from what's generally considered the most expensive HVAC Contractor in town, also the biggest. The $3800 one was from a reputable...

Generally, I'm speaking of outboard mic pres. The reason I ask has to do with recording drums. While it seems to me that as few as 4 and as many as 8 mics are typically used on drums/percussion, I'm wondering if people use their really nice outboard pres for drums, or use the boards pres. Or a...

Attached is an Excel file of the cost estimate for my studio. If anyone would like to go through it, and see if I have left out any "Big Ticket" items, I'd appreciate it. I plan on sub-contracting the foundation, and the Electrical connection. The electric rough in and the carpentry, framing...

What's the best way to post an excel file here? Zip it up and attach it?

...during the design process are "view corridors" from the control room to the various tracking rooms. I had a friend of mine take a look at the plans I'm working on for my studio, and he brought this up. He showed me, graphically, how the view corridors were really insufficient to see...

Alan, I am the proud owner of a Studio Projects T3 microphone. Thank you for developing this wonderful product. The T3, as well, I'm sure, other SP microphones, comes in a very nice, durable hard case. Is it possible to purchase another hard case like the one the T3 comes in?

Besides Boutique Audio and Marquette Labs who else does custom racking?

First of all, I'm not a drummer. I don't play drums. I'm not that coordinated. :) But I am considering a drum set for my studio. I could spend about $1000. Could I get a good "Studio" drum set for this amount? What would you drummers suggest for a set in that price range? ooops! Forgot to...

So, what's the general consensus on the Studio Link-Studio Pro cables manufactured by Monster?

Does anyone know much about this mic? Small dia. condensor, black body, interchangable capsules, I think. I would expect it to be somewhat comparable to an SM81, but has anyone here had any experience with them?

My custom built PC is locking up at random. Someone mentioned it could be the memory. It's an ASUS P4 mobo running an Intel 1.6 gHz CPU. Any Ideas?

I don't even know how to ask this question..... If you put an electric outlet in your studio wall, doesn't that just shoot your STC rating all to hell? I mean, thats a pretty big "hole" for the gang box. Even with dual wall and/or staggered stud construction. Would it be better to put the...
