I have a Fostex Model 80 and a Midiman SMPTE syncbox. I stripe SMPTE code to tape, then the syncbox read its, converts it to MTC and tells MOTU Performer where the song is. Works pretty well. I am contemplating freeing track 8 up by getting a Fostex 4030 SYncronizer from Ebay. But I am...

Friends, Studio builder informed me that he won't finish ceiling. That is my responsibility (what can I expect for $10K?). Walls are filled concrete, floor is well supported ply on joists on overengineered footings. Ceiling is just the exposed 2X6 joists with plywood sheathing on top. This...

I know that "The Master Handbook of Acoustics" by F. Alton Everest is considered a bible on this forum. Nothing I am about to say refutes that. But, I got the thing a while ago, hoping it would help in my impending studio construction and it isn't helping much. To say it is dense is an...

My builder is finishing the roof on my studio. He will leave it to me to finish it from the inside. A particular challenge is that the roof will be the weakest link so far. The walls are sand-filled cinderblocks with stucco on inside and outside, the windows are four pane fixed windows. The...

Here is a pic of my studio in progress. The floor is plywood, but there is a central joist running the central length, which is supported in the middle with a cinder block constructed piling going into concrete footings. This should keep floor resonances tame, plus my builder is going to put a...

My builder is working on my detached studio (as per an earlier post). We agreed on a 16' X 23' space with a cathedral ceiling going from 10' up to 15'. What I failed to account for is those were [B]outside [\B]dimensions. So, instead of the groovy odd ratio of 1 to 1.43, you take away the...

Does anyone have fairly reliable information on market share for DAW software across pro and amateur users? I'm guessing: Mac- 1. MOTU digi perf 2. ProTools 3. Cubase 4. Logic PC- 1. Cakewalk 2. Cubase 3. Logic 4. Cool Edit Pro 5. n-track I can't find any market data, but I'd love it...

I think I understand that it is a horizontal platform suspended below the ceiling, but allowing traffic below; it has some sort of absorptive material, at least on the top, if not bottom and it does room magic, particularly where there are high ceiling. My studio, currently under construction...

In the last month, I packed up all my gear from the old basement studio and put it into the townhouse garage for storage. I miss all those knobs. Now, my builder is digging the footings for the foundation of my detached studio. He agreed to a 16' X 23' footprint. The footings will be dug by...

I don't know if I posted this a while back, but here's my situation: I am a lucky-ass punk with the opportunity to build the budget studio of my dreams from scratch. My dream home is being built by a great custom builder, who is also a pretty good bass player. He is building me a detached music...
