wowo that's some place. - who said soffit mounting was old practice :):) I love the motorised (well I suspect they are) sliding glass doors and the way they set them into the floor - very cool designer ;) seems like everyone is using my sliding glass doors :mad: I suspect it might cost a bit...

Nice to hear the good news OZ - so where are the new pics?? :):) cheers john

I can't see any problem with it frederic- why not ask barefoot at my site?? cheers john

Cool Jake - all you need now is some decent acoustics?? :) cheers john

you should be so lucky ;):) That ceiling heightwill help in thatsmall constrol room. Drop a false ceiling and use that space for trapping. cheers john

Nice work don - $139?? is it polystyrene with stick on paper wood veneer?? ;);) cheers john

Thanks for that Frederic - they look cool eh ? Much better look than straight panels - I wonder how much power they produce?? cheers john

You could do it - I saw some huge setups in the top end of australia at aboriginal communities where the whole place ran off solar with diesel backup. You could easily run a studio of that. My puter is running on solar as I type. It pulls around 8 amps at 24 volts. which is around 192 watts...

Yeah - I agree about the upfont coinage but I think that's just a hangover from the old days :):) Putting upfront like Frederic described I think is cool - it's part of your investment in the band, but as you are the record company I reckon you deal with their manager and if they don't have...

From my experience a rational way of adding income to a studio is to become the Producer! Find a band in your town that is about to break - i.e. the street talk is that this band is about to become famous. Go and sign them up and use your downtime to record them with no time limits etc etc...

This friend of mine had a 9 sided building. The room at the top of the following drawing was his tiny control room and the rest was a big open studio. I redesigned it by adding two walls thus: cheers john

I worked at Music farm in the late 70s which was that kind of setup - full chef and horse riding etc. BUt it was a serious studio with major acts who could afford it. It finally closed last year and now some international pianist lives in it :) The studio is on the right in this photo and the...

hahahah - I was in a band called "Lost Youth" with a heap of old farts!! we were a popular band :):) I adore oysters - last week I drove back from Sydney and pulled in at Karuah where I bought 6 doz in shells. Ate oysters for days ;):) Sounds like you are on a new trip mate - good luck with it...

Karaoke Special - cool idea. On a grander scale I reckon someone should find a beautiful spot in the mountains/desert whatever and offer a weekend recording deal. You line up a team of really good musos and the client gets to spend the days in the studio with the musos who play whatever the...

Great reply Michael - :) I find people tend to talk in days, not hours. You book the studio for a day rate over so many days, then it becomes a deal to finish the album etc. There's a lot of give and take (haggling) in this biz. :) The thing to avoid is spending all your time recording people...

welcome back mate - we were wondering where you'd got to. :) 71 degrees eh - you like it?? shit - thta's what I've got here and it's winter!! - mate - I'd hate to think what your winters are going to be like ;) coos bay looks cool in the national geographic map - it looks like the kind of bay...
