Tight playing! Even sounded good on my less than audiophile quality headphones here at the office. Good job. Alex

I'd appreciate any feedback on any of the three songs at: http://www.hueromusic.com/MUSIC.htm This is about the third try of a mix and maybe about the best I can do with what I've got. All recording was done on 8-tracks with a Korg D1600. The songs were recorded "live" at a warehouse with...

To come perfectly correct, I was at a pro-studio up in Burbank a couple of weeks back tracking drums with my band. When the recording was finished we were sitting in the control room and the engineer brought the rough mix up on a couple of soffit mounted dual 15-in main monitors with ribbon...

Are there manufacturers who produce kits suitable for use as main rather than near-field monitors? I've run across some sub-$3,000 deals on used main monitors (passive) that would work for my ~ 400 sq. ft. studio, but I'm curious if I could do better building my own, as I've seen recommended...

I'm getting ready to start finishing the walls to my rehearsal space and have begun to question my pre-thought layering scheme. I had to pull off all of the existing interior cladding so the room-within-a-room concept became a little financially daunting. I've filled all the wall and ceiling...

Try using a different type of screw (e.g., a metal or wood screw) rather than a drywall screw. It seems the drywall screws sold to pierce metal do have a hard time penetrating the channel. Alternately you could try drilling pilot holes through the board and channel and then installing the...

I'm helping a friend build a room within a room rehearsal space in his garage, and we're following the inside-out wall & ceiling design per Left Bank and other diagrams at the SAE site. From the drawings I've seen it appears that the sheetrock stops at the top of the walls. At the interface...

Thermafiber is a domestic (USA) manufacturer with retailers in most U.S. states. You can check their website at www.thermafiber.com or call their main office (800/426-8127) and talk to Rosie. Their batt insulation materials are under product codes FS-15 and FS-25. Alex

Sorry, that thermafiber site link is bogus. This one should work:http://www.thermafiber.com Alex

Jeronimo, Check out this link:http://www.thermafiber.com. They sell 48-in batts of mineral wool insulation ranging from 1 to 6-inches thick (Product Codes FS-15 and FS-25). Not sure if they've got a distributor in Brazil. You can also check out a company called Roxul. I ran into a dead end...

Apparently it's too big. I'll e-mail it to you separately.

I realize I forgot to attach the file. Here's a try at it.

Chris, Check this out as well. I'll probably be trying to build some like this and can fill you in on the details.

Jeronimo, Information I've seen on this site as well as related links indicate the corner absorbers should extend from the floor to cieling. Alex

Executivos, Sounds like a cool setup. I'd be interested in seeing your pictures when they are developed. Is your AC unit a standard window mount type? If so, is the air intake duct you're talking about part of that package? In any case it sounds like a good solution. Thanks for the post. Alex

Thanks John. Sorry for the re-tread. I traced the previous thread and saw questions regarding the proper type of insulation to install in the MDF-constructed duct, but couldn't find a clear resolution. Has anyone done an insulated duct of this type and if so, what type of insulation was used...

Todzilla, Sounds similar. The window unit I've got is installed in what is soon to be my entryway to the room as well. Maybe I should just leave it there and run a fan-driven ventillation duct into the room like you're doing. It sounds like your builder put the ventillation into your room...

The room I'm working in has an existing window-mount air conditioner that I'm considering relocating to inside my rehearsal space by installing it in a window casement within the enclosure. I plan to seal it around the edges and suitably isolate the remaining exposed portions of the window...

Well, you're getting me to rethink it all--some light from the outside would be nice since it's right there and all. I think it's time for a visit to the door-factory/showroom to get some ideas. At any rate I should be able to get ahold of another sliding glass door. Thanks again for the...

Right on. That's what I'm thinking of doing--probably with a solid core rather than glass door, but the concepts pretty much the same. I'll post some photos if I get there before you. Thanks for the input. Alex
