    Attic Studio

    The word "proper" has some very serious implications to it. I have yet to see anyone even mention the word PERMIT yet. And if you ARE serious about being "proper"... then you will hear this word"PERMIT" again. Let me explain. Any time you make a "habitable" space out of NON habitable space...

    Making Holes in Things

    More to Consider here! Hello GazEcc. For what it's worth, there is LOTS more to consider here. Like "soundproofing" for one. From what you've told us so far, it sounds like you are trying to make a Control Room and a Live room, by putting a Window/Cable chase in the partition wall that...

    Make the most out of my studio space

    Welcome to the board. You've come to the right place. Now it's time to learn. So, since you are here, and you have "other recording gears", it's obvious you are interested in recording your band. Well, first off, let's SEPARATE the "practice" thing from the "recording" thing. Ok, from a...

    Make the most out of my studio space

    :rolleyes: Bullshit. If you're recording, you'll mic the amps and monitor over headphones anyway. Adjust the headphones for the volume you want, and adjust the recording level for the amps appropriately. This requires a mixer with separate "group sends". And please explain....how does more...

    Studio without a control room.

    Absolutely. 1. In a one room studio, the engineer, be it one of the musicians or a non musician, must monitor the sound in the room over headphones. In a separate control room, the engineer monitors over speakers. The whole point of monitoring over speakers in a separate room is so the...

    Help building soundproof vocal booth?

    Well I might as well add my .02. Face reality. To actually build a booth of this nature implies many things. Even for a "vocal" booth. In reality, this translates into the following. 1. Weight. A concentrated load on the structural elements of your floor. Cheap apartments are not designed to...

    old RCA desks and Elvis

    +1. You got it. Without it you might as well forget about recording..because that WAS the point of recordings! Which has somehow been replaced by a ZILLION talentless recordings released every year. From the time I started listening to music...the whole point was talent...talent...talent. Good...

    I need an Aardvark Timesync 2 Manual

    I would like to start my own home and or bedroom walk in closet studio

    Hi and welcome to the board. Ok, I didn't have time to read your entire thread, but if you need a closet to get a dry recording without room interference, this just may well be a temp/cheap solution. :D Let me know if you want a link. fitZ:)

    Room treatments are stupid.........

    :p Just don't do what I did not long ago. In a moment of anxiety, I accidentally used my EX-wife's name when introducing my current wife.:eek: She still isn't speaking to me.:p

    Room treatments are stupid.........

    Ain't that the truth.:drunk: But here's a survival tip... don't forget your significant others name.:D :confused:I thought RT-60 IS decay???? Doesn't it refer to how long it takes for a sound to DECAY 60db?? John, ever since I read Everest's definition of a "diffuse" soundfield, and then showed...

    Do you know the note names on the fretboard?

    :confused:1. It wasn't about telling anyone to play anything dumbass. 2. That's why you don't have a clue. It was telling someone HOW to find it...dumbass. :rolleyes:The only thing anal is that thing between your ears, and it's covered in shit. :laughings: Refer to #1.....dumbass.

    Experienced Advice Requested: Rack Space Computer Case Noise Isolation Cabinet

    :eek: Well thank you sir. I'd submit an HVAC engineer/acoustician might find a few flaws though.:D In fact, the design may change a bit in the next few days. I've posed a few questions to an acoustician friend regarding the exhaust plenum air path dimensions and possible silencer inclusion...

    Do you know the note names on the fretboard?

    :rolleyes: Unbelievable. Ask him how long it took him to figure out where to put his fingers. Thats's why you couldn't get a clue if you were dipped in clue musk and paraded around in a field of clues doing a clue mating dance.

    Room treatments are stupid.........

    2nd note to self.. "too bad the engineers wasted all that time at RCA and CBS studios from 1921 to the early 70's evaluating acoustical response and it's bearing on recorded material. Had the OP been there, we might still be listening to recordings that sounded like they were recorded in garages. "

    How odd. It just so happens.... Well, for those of you might be familiar with my "ongoing" console mod saga, and of you who arn't. In any event, I thought I might post my latest mod. In reality, I just finished planning, and after almost 6 months researching and purchasing my new computer...
