    let me see your studio!

    Redid my studio, most of it was done 1,5yr ago. But there's always more bits and bobs to be done, so I reckoned I'll just share it! Before: Then I took out both of the side walls and most of the ceiling: Two layers of plastboard, plastered the walls, painted it dark gray and added a...

    My first fully homemade recording just released. Would love feedback!

    Hi guys (and girls), It's been ages since I was on this forum, but you guys helped me along so much when I was just finding my first headphones, speakers and interface. Last weekend I released my first track together with a friend of mine, an electronic instrumental with quite some "real"...

    Electrical system for studio, tips, tricks, advice?

    Standard cable thickness for all things electric is 1.5mm. I've looked for 2.5 or thicker bit the biggest hardwarestore in the ficinity did not have anything other then 1.5. However the earth going to my fusebox, already on first floor, is I think also 1.5. This leaves me with 1.5 or running a...

    Electrical system for studio, tips, tricks, advice?

    Thanks a lot guys. Did not imagine this was so different across the world. In the Netherlands we run 230V with 50Hz, as is the standard in whole of Europe (not sure if the UK falls within Europe in this instance). Okay trying to make sense of all this. In the Netherlands only certified...

    Bass Trap Madness

    :o I'm primarily amazed at the amount of guitars on the bottom picture :o Really well made, I love the darker finish makes the wood look much more classy. Do the plastic wrappings not reflect the real high frequencies? 'cause I worry about escaping fibers from my bass traps which I finished...

    Electrical system for studio, tips, tricks, advice?

    I'm able to redo a lot in the current room I use for studio (whooopwhooop). There are two 'fake' walls with a lot of room behind them which I will be removing. All of the sockets and the light switch are in the two walls I will be removing. This leaves me with the chore (and the opportunity) to...

    Quantum Acoustics or Quackery? Any thoughts?

    They do explain. Its so the tweeters are more at ear-level and closer to the tweeters in the monitors beneath them. @Ponder, yeah that. But then with Science-y words, I wouldn't call it Science cause he hardly explains anything.

    Quantum Acoustics or Quackery? Any thoughts?

    Yeah I had hoped for a little video with someone explaining what mechanisme it uses. Cause "we target the air sound rides on" didn't make it much clearer to me. Just the hope that if we could DIY his acoustic panels we wouldn't have to cram our already small rooms with Rockwool makes me wanting...

    Starting Over

    Wow cool dude! If you already have a lot of analogue effects that you are used to and want to keep using you might to think about how you want to do all that and then convert it to digital and so. I was really impressed by the Focusrite Red line. Which, if I understood all of it well, looks made...

    Does anyone know the name for this beat?

    Hey Sheboygan, Thanks for your detailed answer. I never went really into Latin music, which is a shame! I'll use the name Cuban triplet or tresillo in drums because they're really useful. I said hi on facebook! My website is drumcollege.nl, which I use together with another drum teacher in...

    Building new audio computer, what should I pay focus to?

    @Dave I have upgraded my bought W7 to W10, doing a clean install was no problem, but that was probably because something in the software new that I had right on W10. I would have guessed it was a MAC-Adress or something but do you think it is linked to the drive? I've got to look that up...

    Building new audio computer, what should I pay focus to?

    Would a downgrade from W10, which I use right now, to W7 improve performance? I'll look into SSD Drives, that might help. And is much cheaper then building a new pc... @Pinky, I'll look up into freezing tracks... I tried the latency settings but to be honest I already find the latency...
