If you want to use up your Phone wire use it for headphone runs - I've used it successfully for that application. :) cheers john

Yes - that's the type of system I was referring to. Some thoughts. 1) I feel that by using one big (13) unit to do it all would be asking a bit much when you could use 2 x 10 units. One for control room, one for studios. ask for a price comparison. 2) placing the blower unit above the...

wow - so we have a resonable question regarding transfering a guitar sound and suddenly we are talking wall construction :rolleyes: hey guys!! fitter - have you put your head where the mike is and listened to the sound from the amp?? start there. Now add room mike, may be try different...

Actually lee and Bryan - I'm with you guys at the moment - a current project I'm involved with is recording opera for a soprano friend. We are currently working on "The Nun's Chorus" but we've also worked on Oh Holy Night - Divine Reedemer - Panis Angelica to mention a few. :) My years of choir...

Yes Michael -it's a heat pump. YOu must remember that the studio is totally insulated - over insulated by normal terms so loss is minimum. I'd suspect that in your climate the cooling is the major use and it does eliminate the need for supplying gas lines for heating. It's basically a...

OK - we call them reverse cycle airconditioning. Like your the compressor is outside and pipes deliver the heating/cooling to a blower box in the ceiling. Here are the three blower boxes for left bank:

What I find interesting about the proposed system is that it is based around a furnace. Now Michael is in Austin TX where the main problem is cooling, not heating. Austin I imagine is more like our Australian cities where it doesn't usually get below 0 degrees and the systems we use are...

Well consider this - Blue Bear according to a post Bruce once made was around US$50K which had a 18' deep control room and 3 rooms. approx 600+ sqft. It was ALL contracted out. I figure that if you don't over build - i.e attempt extreme isolation - and you construct a fair bit of it yourself...

Oh No - you're not thinking of getting egg crates?? cheers john

Yeah - I'm sorry guys - it appears to be a hardware problem and me being 600 miles away there's not much I can do. My daughter has checked out the software and lines and all appears to be OK in that department. So I'm afraid we'll just have to wait till Pete gets back on Jan1. Thanks for all...

Further to what steve said - Yes I add a layer of what we call "gardeners plastic". When I first used fibreglass back in the 70's we used felt as the cloth material which was pretty good at sealing in the fibres but in spite of that I found after a week of recording loud bands all the gear was...

well your control room will be a boxy postage stamp - no amount of treatment will ever make it sound any good let alone allow more than one person to work in it comfortably. Your live room will be a big reverberant chamber with a verb time around 3 secs. Fine for symphony orchestras but awfull...

Cubase SX2 has inputs!! that you can insert effects across such as a compressor and record the effect. The new effect returns can be automated as well. cheers john

This is what you need http://variac.com/staco_Variable_Transformer_Map.htm cheers john

depends on how much knocking I have to do :) cheers john

The Romans used to line the sides of their theatres with earthen jars of different sizes that were filled with wool - they acted like the bottles and lowered the reverbtime of the low mids. cheers john

yes Michael - Steve is right - I was hit with lightning storms and it blew my modem PLUS the amp in the exchange. Back up again now - BTW thanks for the last addition - meant to thank you for that mate :):) Looks like I'll be in the US in January to mark out the floor for a new Las Vegas...

Lee has sent his final update 3 - looks very very nice :) http://johnlsayers.com/Studio/Mainpage/MP-laptoppop.htm cheers john
