    Re-location/build of Diesel Dungeon Studio!

    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...

    Re-location/build of Diesel Dungeon Studio!

    Fire dudes have a way to check it out afterwards to determine the cause is all I'm saying. Yes...FIRE DUDES! As for insurance...I've HAD insurance inspections in my past house that is about 100 years old when I first bought it. Guess what they passed?! ALUMINUM wiring from an addition that was...

    Is there an "Ideal" Location in a Studio for Tracking?

    Yep, that's why I can't stand engineers that don't bother to learn more about drums. LEARN how to tune them, LEARN what a good drum sound is, LEARN how to listen for what a good cymbal is, LEARN how to fix problems with the kit ASIDE FROM COVERING THEM IN GOD FORSAKEN GAFFERS TAPE!!! I can't...

    Is there an "Ideal" Location in a Studio for Tracking?

    It depends what you're mic'ing and how you're mic'ing it, really. If the source is being close mic'ed, like a guitar amp or a vocal, then as long as there is nothing directly in front, behind or to the side of the mic/source, y'all should be good (if it sounds good in the room of course)...

    Life-changing, record-contract-creating Vocal Booth!

    Damn it, haha, you 1-upped me there! The funny thing is this is pretty much just as ridiculous as the actual product I originally made this post about.

    Setting up flat screen to work as imac screen extension

    Hmm, as always thank you Steen! Actually thanks to all that replied! So are you saying that if I set my 27" imac monitor to 1920x1080 (1080p in 16:9 ratio) but then set my future 40" flatscreen to, say, 1280x720 (720p in 16:9 ratio), then stuff would appear bigger on the 40" (but less...

    Setting up flat screen to work as imac screen extension

    Hi Tim, perhaps could I bother you to read my post and not just the title (I should rephrase the title)? I know I can do it (I do it now, with a 17" little auxiliary monitor). Long story short I want to extend my 27" imac screen onto a 40" LED HDTV 1080p, but have what displays on the TV look...

    Setting up flat screen to work as imac screen extension

    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...

    Re-location/build of Diesel Dungeon Studio!

    Thanks man! I actually borrowed (stole?) the idea from this dude (see below). I made my facing panels a little more sturdry though - instead of lattuce I used 1x2's, and I used more string, haha. Oh and mine are 30" face where as his are only 24" (may be fine for him - he does great work) which...

    Meh. If a fire happened, the fire dudes would come in and see where it went wrong, but would see that everything was done to code and it was probably just a malfunction of something at the breaker box or something. Not only that, but the area in which the plugs lie inside the walls (the only...

    But it's blue! :p Looks different in person I guess. The flash was on the camera, but in normal lighting they just look like a dark blue sheen and if you catch it on an angle in certain light, depending on where you are standing, you can vaguely make out a pattern. i wanted a vintagy kind of...

    Life-changing, record-contract-creating Vocal Booth!

    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...

    Having a bunch of guitar speaker cabinets in my mix/recording room is bad, right?

    Now that's an explanation if I've ever heard one! Lol. I never knew about what the hell that third pedal ever did. Haha thanks for clearing that up! So I guess you'd just toss something in there lying over the strings like a towel or moving blankets. But that's not even the OP's question so of...

    Having a bunch of guitar speaker cabinets in my mix/recording room is bad, right?

    I'm no pianist by any means, but the last time I "played" a piano (and any other time) as I recall, there is a sustain pedal AND a damper pedal. I think it is called the "practice" pedal or something?

    Having a bunch of guitar speaker cabinets in my mix/recording room is bad, right?

    Why not just place a brick or something heavy on the pedal that dampens the strings? And close the lid too while you're at it (common sense).

    And I thought I was the overthinker!

    Re-location/build of Diesel Dungeon Studio!

    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...

    Multi band or other compression to even out cymbal performances?

    Adding more!... - Bass traps - Converters - NS10's - Closet Vocal Booths - Analog vs. Digital - Headphones w/ no monitors - Tape Saturation Plugins Actually, hey Admins, can you make a sticky about the things not to bring up unless you want an argument?

    Absolutely not! haha I'm not sure what the laws are like in "Eagle Winged Palace of the Queen Chinee", but I live in Canada and igloos don't have any kind of building/electric permits necessary. I'm hoping you know I am kidding, but no i didn't get any permits. Firstly, because it was in an...

    Re-location/build of Diesel Dungeon Studio!

    You make it sound like its a last resort. That's actually awesome! Small incremental differences between framed traps straddling corners vs superchunks, but audio is a game of inches, not miles. Every bit helps! As far as I've read about superchunks, they need to have a 24" wide face minimum in...
