If you're set on an "All-in-one" box, I guess.... go ahead and get it, but in my opinion they are a technological dead end. Once you have it, that's all it will ever be. I think your money's better spent on a nice DAW, outboard mixer, and pre-amps.

Haven't you heard? Pro Tools SUX!

My control room ceiling is angled. The rise is one foot in 12... I think. Its hard to tell, but there's a picture of it here: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=114536&highlight=Ceiling The main thing is the supporting cross beam; that really needs to be engineered for the span...

I use Nuendo's 96K 8 i/o. I think they are repackaged RME's, but they sound pretty damn good to me.

The D&R and the K&M brand boom stands are what I use. I've never had one fall over, and I use them in a fairly extended position, as I mike a grand piano. You need to make sure that one of the tripod legs is pointing in the same direction as the extended boom arm. If your boom is falling over...

I have a couple of API 550b's that I think are pretty sweet. My vintage Audix 35102 pre-amps have an onboard parametric EQ that's just about as smooth as silk. Those are my only hands on experience with para-metric EQ's.

Are you going to put your expensive gear in there without heating and air conditioning? You're going to need electricity to run everything. If its not inspected and done to code an insurance agency wont even touch you should there ever be an accident. The foundation that you have isn't going...

True. I was just thinking that if the windows were existing, he could do what laptop did here: http://www.johnlsayers.com/Studio/Mainpage/MP-laptoppop.htm (See "update 2")

Is it an existing window or new construction?

Well, as I suspected, your foundation is basically non-existant. "Pouring a layer of concrete over it" isn't going to fix it. So that's one problem. I couldn't tell by the photos if the overhang beams were 2x4's or 2x6's but either way they appear to be over-spanned. So that's another problem...

Make sure that the distance between the two mics is at least 3 times the distance of the the mics from the source. For instance: If your mics are placed 8" from the soundboard, make sure the two mics are at least 24" apart from one another. This will minimize phasing problems.

OK. Thanks Ethan, I understand. Now I have my sine waves, I've imported them into my DAW. Now what?

Kurtzweil does make some pretty fine sounding stuff. The Roland JV 2080 may be a less expensive alternative. Piano MUST be one of the hardest sounds to emmulate. I kind of judge the quality of the sound module by its piano sounds. I've seen a lot that come close, but none that REALLY capture...

Hmmm.... got any pictures? You say this used to be a carport? So it basically has a driveway under it? In building something like this, you start from the ground up; with the foundation. A driveway IS NOT a foundation! It probably wont support the load of a fully enclosed structure. It...

$5000 dollars? Hell, I'll do it for half that! :D If you're having a contractor build it for you, figure about $70 dollars per square foot for a finished product (Since you already have walls, floor and ceiling), and around $35 dollars per square foot if you're going to build it yourself.

The splitter of logs to be offered by my company is very many much more simple of use. Its cost has only 300 greckens. Cheap in quality but not as much cheap in price. :D

You should be able to get a used Fatar controller in that price range. Look for an SSL990 or a Studio 90. The Studio 90 is better than the SSL 990, but it was discontinued years ago. But, if you come across one it has the feel you're after, they're both 88 key, weighted keybords. They are...

Why only one second long?

Are you playing an actual piano when you practice, or a keyboard? If its a keyboard, you probably have it set at the wrong height, and its putting unnecessary strain on your wrists. 29" from floor to the top of the white keys comes to mind.

I have 16 mic and 4 - 1/4" leads in my Live room, 12 mic and 4 - 1/4" leads in my Drum room, and 4 mic and 2 - 1/4" leads in my vocal booth. How should I label these? I was thinking of something like: LR MIC 1 LR MIC 2... LR PH 1 LR PH 2... DR MIC 1 DR MIC 2... You get the idea. Is that...
