and about how nice you can play with others. Which is why if you'll be dealing with other studios and you have friends that have protools, it would be a good idea to get it. Just allows for easier transport of files and so you can bring your actual session ,not just files of individual...

I don't think so, you would have some early reflections right where the windows and doors are, which you CAN work around if your really wanted to do it that way. At least on the other side there's a little more room, having a larger section of side wall and THEN the window. Either way it still...

Hardwoods would be ideal, then you have rugs as spot treatment one at your mixing position and then one farther back at the back of the room. You do want the sound to be going down the longest part of your room, as pictured in your most recent sketch up. Closets and windows shouldn't be that...

I feel like I'm way over 10k with everything, including instruments.

maybe want to list the necessities of what your looking for, you can spend 20 grand on just a couple of preamps and microphones. And don't forget the 20 grand that needs to be put to sound treating a professional commercial studio lol

There are quite a bit of differences in mics in that price range, around the $100 range, maybe not so much. What are you looking to record/do?

Really depends on what your recording. For acoustic guitar, I use generally use a 3 mic setup, including a LDC of some sort at the sound hole, and two SDCs one on the neck and one near head level. Since the LDC is near the Sound hole and picks up a lot of low end, the brighter mxls help balance...

You can do a lot worse that MXL, imo. I still use the 991 on occasion to record acoustic guitar. Using those really helped me develop micing techniques and placement when I was starting. There's a guy on the forum that makes these. Has a 10 day trial period as well. For $50, that can't be...

The US-1800 is a good starter interface, I used the older 1641 for quite sometime and got good results. For condenser mics...I'm assuming your looking for mics for overheads. You can get MXL 993s, 991s or 603s, all of those I've used and have got good results for over heads, I'm sure some...

Yea, look what he did to me. ...k I'm done with pictures :drunk:

Slight family resemblance.

lol, what up?!

Well what you can do is make panel bass traps and stick them on stands so they're portable, so when ever you need them you can move them into position in the corners. There's somebody on here or gearslutz that rigged up a little rail system that they hung bass traps from so they could easily...

Yea that one sounds a lot more natural. The voxguard has a plastic backing and no way for the sound to pass through, it goes through the foam, it's the plastic backing and bounces back, only cutting the high end and not effecting the low end, making that bass boost you hear, it is pretty...

Here's another cheap easy one. $10 mic gobo.

I hear that, just wondering because I could definitely afford that one and had wrote it down as a potential purchase, just never really put the time in to research it. I've been lucky enough to be able to use some really nice pres and channel strips, of course nothing I can afford myself, but...

Do you guys have any experience with GAP? I'm planning to buy a couple of different single channel pres in the near future and saw that one, but couldn't find any great info on it or anyone that has one. Only thing I've settled on is the daking "green brick".

you can get free wood and scraps from construction sites at housing developments. They always have extra when building houses, and they don't reuse anything on other houses since they order in bundles for each individual house. Just ask before taking.

Yep, taming the low end is the first big challenge. Everything is important of course, bass traps are just a good place to start. Also just a helpful hint for mixing. It's not a good idea to have your desk in a corner like it is. Think about it, sound is hitting the closest wall before the...

If memory serves right, there's quite a few people that have posted about the sm7 that seem to have that problem^^^, until they upgrade the pres they're using the mic's not meeting expectations.
