    Wanted: High End Mic Pres

    Look around for an Audix 35102. Brent used to rack them. up to 80dB of the sweetest gain you'll ever hear. Think.... API pre meets Neve EQ.

    DIY Diffusors?

    There's a lot of info here on diffusion. http://www.saecollege.de/reference_material/pages/Diffusion.htm I'm sure you could figure out something from these. I doubt that lightweight plastic would work very well. The material needs to have some mass and density to it.

    Forget guitars, buy a Sitar!

    Aside from the bag-pipes, the Sitar has got to be THE most annoying instrument on the face of the planet! :mad: :D

    Construction Announcement!

    What makes you say that? I have pergo flooring in first floor of my house. We have a home office in there as well (lots of chair rolling going on) and, so far, there hasn't been any detriment to the floor. It's been there for about 3 years now I guess.

    Windows for control room?

    The rough opening is just that... a ROUGH opening. Where you take extreme care with is the window seal. It MUST be perfectly square and plumb. If the rough opening isn't square, and most of the time it wont be, because the wall is built on the floor, then tilted into place, and racked plumb...

    Windows for control room?

    OK. Remember the furring strips on the inside of the window? Those are there to give a base or support for the insulation that would go between the two walls, inside the window. Without those, you run the risk of having the insulation slip down in between the 2 wall sections after the glass is...

    Windows for control room?

    What that does for you, is it puts the window frame or seal FLUSH with the final layer of material that's going to go on the wall. Then you simply trim that out, and umm.... "beat to fit, and paint to match"! :D

    Windows for control room?

    Looking at the outside of the window... the finished wall side; it is IMPERITIVE that the window frame extend out, from the wall framing, enough to accomodate ALL the layers of wall material you plan to use. In my case, I'm using a triple layer system, so the window seal had to extend out from...

    Windows for control room?

    OK. Like I said before, you start with a rough framed opening. Here you can see one side that still roughed, and one side that has the begining of the window seal. Note the furring strips on the inside of the window's rough opening; more on that later.

    Windows for control room?

    Yeah, that's how you install the glass. There's a LOT more to the framing that has to happen BEFORE that. I'm right at the stage where I'm setting the window seal. I'll post some detailed pictures in a little while, I'm waiting for the camera batteries to charge up. If you've already purchased...

    tuning drums

    Man, I'm not a drummer, and I know jack about tuning them, but a drummer friend of mine told me that if you take the .... skins(?) off both sides of the drum, then hit the side of the open shell, thats the tone that you want to tune it to. If you want to know what specific tone it is, just have...
