    Debating on selling my Tascam 388 and I'm torn...

    Yeah...what he said ^^^...and add do that...it's not so much about "now", but your plans for the future. Sitting on it for a couple of years, but definitely seeing it put to use again down the road...is OK. Just clinging to it for the sake of yesteryear nostalgia...maybe it's time to let it go...

    Got my carpeting installed today...they did a great job, love the carpet...but man, I want to collapse from the two days of non-stop work it took for me to empty out 4 rooms so they could do the install. Guess where all that stuff went...into the new studio. :facepalm: Hey...it was one of those...

    So you're comparing two different songs, two different productions...and assuming the difference in bass quality is just because of a difference in the sampling rates between them...and nothing else? What's "9 ips"...I never heard of that...??? Honestly...and I don't mean this in any personal...

    Am I being ripped off?

    Rotate your mix location to the opposite wall...take that one corner bass trap and place it up above and across, where the ceiling meets the windows. Then you are firing back to the other wall where there are two vertical traps...and no unbalanced issues. :) The cloud will still work on the...

    EMI / EMF / RFI radiation problems...? Wasn't expecting this...

    Not sure if they offer it in your area...but my power company had "op-outs" when they were installing their latest smart meters last year. So I opted out, and they didn't install their 24/7 two-way WiFi smart meter, and I also had them replace the existing "semi-smart" meter, which just...

    Best alcohol for cleaning tape heads?

    I would worry about the Methyl isobutyl ketone...which is an acetone derivative...so how safe is it when coming into contact with any plastic parts in and around the cleaning path...over time, with lots of use? I know we've covered much of this already...but I just wonder how dirty people let...

    Am I being ripped off?

    Well...a custom built 2' x 8' acoustic panel will be no better than (2) 2' x 4' panels...all materials being equal. Also...having a 10' custom panel vs. (2) ready-made 4' panels...you will not see all that much value in the extra 2' of the custom panel. Of course...the real point I was making...

    Am I being ripped off?

    Your best bet is to hit a few of the many online acoustic panel retailers/manufacturers (GIK, Aurlex, etc, etc) and look at their comparable products to what you are getting...and compare the pricing. The information is readily available - Google :) That said...I'm building my own...and it's...

    EMI / EMF / RFI radiation problems...? Wasn't expecting this...

    I'm not familiar with the wide range of radio equipment you referenced...but just to be sure I understood your problem & solution...it was the USB to AES interface causing the spike? I have an RFI/EMI meter...and I'm sure if I brought it close to my PC audio tower, I would see a higher reading...

    I knew it had to be some kind of racket...I mean, why would we get wood from Sweden when there's plenty of pine here in the USA. :D Last summer when I replaced all the doors in my house with 6-panel solid doors...they came from South Africa. Not sure if the wood came from there...I don't think...

    Tell me about it. :facepalm: I kept thinking it was a lot...but like I mentioned earlier, all the estimates from retailers were coming in at basically the same number of panels needed as I had calculated, for the size of the room I have...so I'm going to put them up and see what it sounds like...

    Finally finished all the sanding and staining yesterday...lot of work, not super hard, just endless. I was hoping that by the end of the weekend I would also have the polyurethane...but as always, things just took a bit longer than expected, so I may have to leave that go for now, since I need...

    I wouldn't call it boring...it's just very tedious, time consuming work...BUT...the details are what make the completed work stand out. Even my contractor said I was too meticulous, and that he couldn't get that involved with it...but when I had my final inspection, and my contractor hadn't been...

    I just spent 5 hours sanding...:facepalm:...thank goodness I have some good respirator masks, otherwise I would have inhaled about 2 pounds of dust. Still have gobo frams to put together and get them sanded...and I think tomorrow I'll start staining the stuff I already sanded. It's a small...

    FTW!!! :D ;) That made my night...especially since you're probably convinced that you do . Your concept of how digital sampling works, and your argument points...sound the way people thought about digital 20 years ago, when digital was still new to most folks and misunderstood, and there was...

    Naa...that would be more trouble than help...scaffolding is quite bulky/heavy...and I'm not rolling that around my hardwood floor...plus the room is so full of stuff, that I really need to use just ladders. The larger clouds will probably weigh in around 20-30 pounds at most...it's just that...

    Earlier today I decided to putty up all the screw holes...I think once sanded ands stained, it will look much better without them. I also finished the basic frames for the 4 ceiling clouds...two 4' x 4' clouds on the far ends of the ceiling, and two 4' x 6' clouds, one in the center of the...

    There hasn't been one thing ahead of schedule in the last year or more of this madness...don't tease me now. :D Only so many hours in the day...and only so much motivation anyone can maintain day in and day out...but at least I've managed to keep pushing all this forward, when there were times...

    I pleasantly woke up today to find two rather large rolls of cloth leaning up against my front door...which I'm grateful to the FedEx guy for putting them there, under the front door overhang...as it's been raining all day...rather than leaving them in my driveway, since they were in plastic...
