    Help with my studio/garage

    you might consider switching the control room and live room so the live room is closer to the door - this way its easy to load/inload equipment and your bike :-) you could use the control room for vox isolation from the rest of the band as well etc... might even be able to make the CR a bit...

    too much bass

    if you look at this room mode calculation - you have major nodes at 49, 85, and 95hz. the 49hz on the length would possible be helped by added some bass absorbtion on the far wall - maybe a few 4" traps out about 1 foot or so. the 85 and 95hz will be much harder in such a small space and with...

    Need help With Ghost

    i did a quick check - the 24 channel Ghost mixer is 41" wide so you'd have to expand the mid-section on my desk by 4" to leave 2 19" racks on each side.

    Need help With Ghost

    this is a design for a desk i recently built. basically designed on 4 19" rack widths and the desire to angle the mixers. for a wider mix board, you'd take out the middle divider. not sure what the dimensions on your board are but most seem to follow multiples of 19" racks... you could then...

    Another Acoustics Request

    Any DIY Desk or Workstations Layouts?

    nice! yeah, the key is to think about how you work or would like to work and write those ideas down. do you do in-the-box or hardware mixes? do you have aroom with soffit mounted speakers or plan on putting near-fields on the console (or right behind it)? what effects do you have use? will you...

    Any DIY Desk or Workstations Layouts?

    depending on your skills, budget, and what you are looking for, it will vary as to what desk is "best". if for example you are looking to have a PC desk with enough space for a keyboard, you might find it less expensive/time consuming to just get a desk from Staples. there are a couple of office...

    Building custom studio racks & desks

    much nicer finish than mine :-) I put mine on wheels so I could easily move it around and adjust wiring, clean, etc... plus the iso-cabinets keep the adat and PC noise way down... just a bit of fan noise from the forced ventilation but I'm working to fix that...

    Sorting out bass trap myths

    In general, I would treat multiple locations - corners, first reflection points and see if it was meeting my needs. if not, I could always cut up some of the 703 and make super chunks out of it. I think overall you have to measure your room and surrounding environment to be sure of what your...

    DIY Mastering Clinic #2

    yeah... i was thinking that the effect is cool but if I slope the volume a bit, then the initial notes will come through and then the reverse reverb will wash up into the gaps (if i play with the time delay and duration a bit... ;-)

    Building a studio on a VERY limited budget?

    post detailed measurements of the place including where the posts are and any plumbing and electrical. keep in mind you will likely need permits to build and possible insurance... you might want to pop over to www.johnlsayers.com with all the info and a drawing with the measurements to get input...

    got a refund on ebay now I need advice on a teac 5

    input x outputs x busses so an 8x4x4 mixer would have 8 inputs, 4 outputs, and 4 busses. the busses and outputs can (generally :-) be assigned per input channel and sometimes aux returns. generally busses are used for "sub mixes" - for instance if i want to control the overall level of a drum...

    Whats The Best Studio Basement Setup

    i think you'll get a better response in the studio building thread but you should look up Ethan Winer's acoustics FAQ and pay a visit to the John L Sayers web site to review the material there and the discussions on designing and building studios. some important details people need to know: -...

    Where do your songs first take form?

    could be from any number of places - my acoustic guitar, a piano, an electric guitar, sometimes just lying in bed i get an idea and have to jump up and write it down or do a quick perform to get it... otherwise if i fall asleep, its guaranteed to be forgotten... sometimes playing the drums also...

    Mixer help req.

    take it/send it back. it's probably defective (behringer jokes to follow...) but i have several mixers - TAPCO, Behringer, Mackie, etc... and they're all very quiet/silent except when I have the gains (trim, channel, bus, master) all the way and even then, with no input the noise is slight...
