Guess I can now scrap my fake Auratones (basically some old 70's Fisher cube speakers that sort of looked like the old Auratone 5c's, but sounded nothing like them) because I just picked this baby up for extraordinarily cheap from a guy who wheels and deals all kinds of random stuff in huge...

Finished mounting my first reflection panels (except ceiling clouds and wall/ceiling bass traps above mix position) as well as my LED 40" flatscreen (1080p). The panels on the front wall are 6" thick and mounted straight to the wall because there is 4" thick worth of OC703 inside them and...

Spacing my wall-mounted 2" broadband OC703 burlap-faced panels, 2 inches off the wall. So I am hanging them via J hooks in the wall (which stick out 2") and eye bolts which are attached to the frames. But then there is the questions of 'how do I make it so the bottom of the panels don't swing...

The face to the other rear "diffusive superchunk" is now up. Somehow the spray painting turned out more even on the diffusers for this one. I guess I've gotten the knack down for these (love that band!). The EPS (even though these are really dense EPS) is a b*tch to spray because it sucks up all...

Facings are up for 3 of the 4 superchunks. Tacked em into the wall with finishing nails and a counter-sink tool to hide the little silver nail head (went to use my bradnailer only to find out I'm all out of bradnails!). I realized there would be some insulation exposed to the open air on my two...

I have been looking into getting a 40" LED 1080p HDTV as main monitor (mounted on wall) and using my 27" iMac as my sidecar smaller monitor. But I would use it as an extension (not screen share where it's the exact same thing). So in PT (I'm on 10/11 now), I'd typically have the mix window on...

Here's my latest invention to rival these multi-billion dollar monster corporations just dominating the acoustics industry... Its called "The Vocal Sack". You use what looks like an avg dust mask as your pop filter, the bag acts as a super space age acoustics-problem-solving barrier form the...

Started covering superchunk face-frames with fabric. This is a pic of one done, but I haven't actually tacked it into the wall yet, so it's leaning a bit right now (ignore the visible insulation at the top, which will not be visible later). The fabric for the front traps is sort of a dark blue...

Just thought this was worth a chuckle and wanted to share the laughter. You may enjoy, especially the last three pics on this page! Ethan and Glen, looks like you guys are in for some pretty tight competition with these folks. Carry-on Vocal Booth Pro Images If you didn't find this comical...

Started building the facing frames for the superchunks last night. Made them out of 1x2's and glued n' screwed 'em! Used little flat metal brackets to connect the pieces. Short screws for the brackets, no need for pre-drilling (didn't split). They are thin, but pretty solid thanks to the strong...

Superchunk cores are done. Need to cover the front ones with fabric-covered thin frames and cover the rear ones with diffusion. Don't ask about the difference in colour. It's the exact same product, but just from separate bags - I guess it's a natural product made from lava rock and recycled...

The rear "diffusive superchunk" bass traps have commenced! I see a lot of guys do shelves midway (which i assume is to keep it from compressing over time), but I did away with that idea as I have seen even a lot of pictures, some of "professional" installations where they showed pictures of it...

Floor and lights are done! (pic was taken when i had one last strip to do on the left perimeter). The stuff I used was called Allure by Traffic Master which I believe is exclusive to home depot. It is 100% vinyl and waterproof and is resilient so it conformed to any unevenness in the concrete...

Painting is done! It's still wet in this picture, but whatevs. The colour may seem a little dark at first, but my flooring will be a honey-amber wood look, with white baseboards and ivory burlap panels. So it will be a good contrast. That's why i decided to go with a white ceiling as well. I was...

It's funny you should mention that, because now that all the new walls are up and with the room completely empty, the ambiance is actually amazing! It doesn't sound like it has a low ceiling and there is no audible flutter echo somehow, no matter where I go in the room and clap/snap/shout...

Hey all, Sorry if I should be posting this in my own studio build thread, but I thought it may be of value to have it as a unique thread so that others can benefit if they are having the same issues as I am... After I finish painting the studio, I will start installing my corner superchunks (4...

UPDATE!: Finished the first coat of paint (primer) on ceiling, walls and baseboards last night. It's the home stretch now baby! By the end of this weekend, my goal is to have all the painting done and the floor installed. Wish me good luck! And because every studio needs security!...

I bought a new desk that i will be modifying slightly. It will have two mini "sidecar" racks on either side and some desktop racks i made myself (no not the lazy modification of those cheap ikea nightstands). The one mod I am doing to the standard computer desk itself, is to recess my monitor...

Power conditioners into a "Home Theatre Surge Protector" into single wall outlet? Sup holmies. Silly question for the day. While I may have taught myself how to solder a mic cable, I'm not the guru on electrical currents and the like (my dad came by and helped re-wire all the outlets in my new...

My question basically stems from the whole 44.1k vs 96k debate. Theory #1 (which i am cool with and wish to adhere to): Some people say the difference between a raw 44.1k recorded track vs the same raw 96k recorded track is negligible and would require superhuman hearing to tell the difference...
