here's mine. :-) I, on the other hand, WILL show you my control room, however it's currently looking rather like the emperor's new clothes. It's right about where that roll of neoprene is... Hey alex, is that an iso booth on the left? got any more pics?

Fitz, no cornerstone ;-) And the fingers are safe- I'm mainly watching til it gets to the interior. The 703 at 4" is a brick wall down to 125hz. You'd lower that frequency further by lifting it but it depends what your needs and space are. John, can i assume your advise goes for the floating...

Don, looking good, like the layout! You've certainly got some big rooms there, I'm getting studio envy already. Couple of things as i think about this set up: I mentioned in an earlier discussion about a load in door for the live room, but I just got thinking that perhaps fire codes may...

Thanks John. That saves a few bucks in the ever expanding budget :-)

how 'bout a picture fitz? they work pretty darn good for a workbench too! DAN

I'm finally living up to the title of this forum- today the first walls went up on mine.. And so the questions begin: The exterior walls are 2x6 and will have resilient channel/ drywall inside. Is there an acoustic benefit to using owens corning 703 insulation in the walls as opposed to the...

Re: There is more to the story than has been told an excellent point. keep us posted!

rcktdg Allow me to play the devil's advocate and make a couple of observations: 1- Have you done a pre check with a kick drum to see what you're up against, and also to give you a way to gauge whether you've actually improved it once you've made some of these changes? 2- I personally question...

does it sound dead? Nope. dead is dead=no reflections, no room sound -think dry. Even? well that's a bit hard to say but I'm guessing you did a reasonable job because the overall tones are not out of whack. BTW- don't take our small room comments to mean the room sounds bad! The thing is...

Can I get an AMEN?!! :-) Track's right. you've got a small room sound going there. Sounds more like front room blues than front porch blues. It sounds like it's not big enough to be generally useful as an "acoustic" space so, close mic use artifical reverbs. If the room sound still shows up in...

Now that I've seen your roof, I will say that the church I've done some acoustic work in has the same ceiling that I see in yours, with the somewhat, draped across the beam type nsulation. And you know what? Its sounds pretty good! the draped angles of the insulation/ barrier make for good...

DD, My first thoughts were: Since you have a fair amount of space to work with, why not do a double wall with an airspace between the control room and the Live room. The live room looks like a big room capable of being pretty loud to me... The vocal booth looks a bit small to me. They...

thanks eric. a good suggestion and workaround if no 703 is handy, but you gotta love the absorbtion of 703 at a mere 2" thick! And 4 inches of it is amazing...

Also, although I've not tried this, I think a bargain version might be made, as Alex said, by glueing the fiberglass board to something like an 1/8" pressed board backing panel and wrapping it in fabric. This would be ultra light and perhaps easier to hang and handle. The trays I've built really...

I built about 30 of these 2x4 panels for my church a while back. Our building had a huge flutter problem between the side walls as well as a front to back echo. The back wall is maybe 75 feet from the stage. Some notes from making them: 1- if making a lot of them, set up up jigs for drilling...

Jim Koch could probably make a great tasting beer using a beer kit. Barry Bonds could probably hit a home run with a 2x4. Eric Johnson could get good tone out of a no name acoustic... but they don't. My 1680 is great and I can certainly make fine recordings on it, but the big boys will always...

Personally, I love that combo. 57 on the speaker, 4033 somewhere else in the room. mix to taste. I have found a few times when the room mic actually turned out to be the desired sound. Plus you can always just mute the 4033 track and use digital reverb on the 57 track if needed.

As to the TB-1 having 6 votes: the question was- which one would you choose... So does that inherently mean i can only vote for a mic I own? For my own use, I'd choose a TB-1 or a V77, because I have a 4033 already and I'd like to have a tube mic. Speaking about the main vocal mics I...

Dude, You need to record the mix you have set up to the master tracks before you burn it to CD! Read the manual about recording to the master tracks. Think of it this way- If you were baking a cake you would get out the ingredients, mix them togther, then throw it in the oven to cook. So...

Re: Planning, Planning, and more Hey Rick. Can you elaborate on this a bit? Seems like not just studios, but even houses in the US are getting more airproof these days with super insulating practices. What specific problems does this pose to us air breathing creatures? Does every home studio...
