Seems my local building material stores (Lowes, HomeDepot) don't carry resilient channel. Just "C" channel and stuff like that. I've got a lead on another local place that might carry it. I'll call them Monday. In the meantime, can anyone recommend a source? Preferably with a website...

Looks like this story ain't over yet. Just got the new Musicians Friend catalog today and verified the price online. The Studiophile SP-8B's are back at $299/pair. Shipping is about $18. Somebody please tell me these aren't great monitors and a bargain at $299. The next closest price I've...

Ok - I finally figured out how to convert my drawing (Home Deluxe 3D) to a .jpg file. The measurements and angles aren't exact yet. The speakers (JBL 4311's) will be soffit mounted to control the bass. I'll probably still need bass traps in the back corners of the control room. I'm...

Just a quick pic. Framing has started. Walls will go up tomorrow. Measured the peak at the center. It's 14' 9". What you see is 30' feet wide and 40' deep. DD

Anyone read this article yet? This is the latest EQ Magazine. The article is called "Build the Ultimate Music/Recording PC designed by Pete Leoni. It caught my eye because on the front cover is the same rackmount case I bought off eBay for $98. He uses a Tyan S2460 (dual CPU) motherboard...

What a 3 ring circus. Finally, the concrete pad is poured. 30' x 40'. 20 cu yds of fibermix concrete with rebar reinforcement. 52 tons (3 dump trucks) of fill (clay and sand mix). Anchor bolts have been set. The building will be stood up next Tuesday. Everybody keep your fingers crossed...

Here it is! No standing waves. Didn't have to use any diffusion or absorption. I have a small problem with sound getting in but I'm working on that. :D

So what gives? I bought my Q10 a couple of months ago for $740. That was pretty much the going price everywhere. Now it's $829 everywhere. Kinda strange. Feels like I actually bought something at the right time for a change :p Nothing has changed. I guess Aardvark went up on the wholesale...

Has anyone used the OwensCorning QuietZone Acoustic Wall Framing? They make a 2 piece stud with resilient channel built in. The "wood" material is Laminated Strand Lumber. Says it "eliminates the need for staggered stud construction or conventional resilient channel." Comes in 2x4 (up to 10'...

Just talked to the contractor last night. Construction will start in about 2 weeks. It will be a 30'x40' steel building on concrete slab. All he will do is pour the slab and put up the building. I will do all interior work. This building will serve 2 purposes. 1 - As a rehearsal room (in...

Since I'm in the process of building a studio I've searched high and low for a good reference on power distribution, signal cabling and RF filtering methods (there's an FM radio tower across the street). This is the best I've seen so far - short of buying a $50 engineers handbook. It gets...

Just got mine in. It's really nice and solid (weighs about 40 pounds). Has three 5 1/4" and one 3 1/2" floppy bay in front with lockable door, removeable filter in front and fans. They have another one at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2040601201 It's $66 plus $32 for...

If you have an Office Max nearby. They are discontinuing their 24X burners so they put them on sale today. After instant rebate and mail in rebate the price is $9.99. The brands in our store are Polaroid, I/O Magic and HiVal. I just picked up an I/O Magic 24X10X40 for a computer I'm building...

Looks like my studio is going to happen (at last). It will be 30' x 40' on a concrete slab behind my house. I'm currently getting quotes on both a metal (commercial steel) and stickbuilt (wood) building. So far it looks like the metal will fit my budget better than the stickbuilt. Does...

Read this article first http://prosoundweb.com/recording/tapeop/buildmic/buildmic_16_1.shtml Here's the deal. I'll build you 4 of these and trade them for your Neumann tube mic. Hell, I'm not even picky about model number (wouldn't want the deal to fall thru on such details). You do have to...

Hey John, Talked with you several months ago about building a small studio behind my house (I live in a rural area). My finances are finally lined up to do it (limited but available). FYI it will be 30 feet wide x 40 feet long. Concrete slab, 3 rooms (live, control and vocal booth). I have a...

Just read an article in ArtistPro magazine. It talked about the big boys in mastering mixdown to the Sony BVU-800 3/4" U-matic video machine. I'm assuming this is analog tape but I don't have a clue. I know very little about tape (analog or digital). Then they use a Sony 1630 to add a "PQ...

Anyone here ever heard of Kathode Ray Music. They're an online company that does promotion, consults, etc for a membership fee. Web site is http://www.kathoderaymusic.com They have a book out that looks interesting. It's called "Grow Your Band's Audience" and comes with some other "bonus"...

Hafler seems to be recommended highly on this BBS. Don't think you'll get much wattage for $300 though. Do a search on this BBS for Hafler and check eBay for prices. DD edit: Sorry I meant to reply to info on reference amp rather than start a new thread.
