My room will be for both tracking and mixing. Atsacoustics.com has a program in which you provide room purpose, size, and surface type, and they respond with a very general estimate for square footage of treatment needed. I think the initial number that came up was 180 square feet of coverage...

I am in the process of treating a 16x13x8 room with corner bass traps and some first reflection panels. The insulation I have found locally is Roxul Safe N Sound and is 3" thick. I'm going to double up and make the bass traps 6" thick and the wall treatments 3". From one of the sound treatment...

Option If you're not too invested, you might look at something like the Zoom R16. I've done computer based recording, and just recently got the Zoom. The Zoom is certainly less powerful from an editing standpoint, but it is about 10 times easier to learn. You could be recording acoustic guitar...

You'll probably get a better response taking this to the equipment area. I'm interested in the replies, since I'm looking at the Rokit monitors as well. Good luck.

I am about to finish construction on my studio. It is 10' x 28' with 8' ceilings. I have researched and read and think I have a handle on initial sound treatment, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything. It will be a combination room for both tracking and mixing. My plan is to have 4"...

I was really wondering if I could move the recorded tracks and record 16 more for a total of 32 without the use of the computer. With a single R16, you can record 8 at the same time, then record 8 more. I'm just not sure if you have the same capability using two R16's connected to each other...

I hope this in the right spot. If not, I'm sure someone will correct me. I'm looking at getting a couple of Zoom R16's because it looks like the least expensive way to get 16 track concurrent recording, and I like the features combining stand alone with DAW. When the two are connected, do you...

We recorded 8 tracks at a time via motu interface into Ableton Live. We played on my church stage. The drums were in a cage, the lead guitar was a mic'd amp, and everything else was direct in. We recorded vocals later in an office, then mixed later in another office. Lots of holes in the...

feedback Hey thanks for the critique. I've spent a good bit of time in the studio, but always as a player (mostly bass and drums, although in this band I play keys, banjo and some acoustic). This is my first attempt at working behind the board as engineer/producer. If I remember correctly I...

I did a demo for my band and would like some fresh perspective. You can hear it at http://www.myspace.com/thesandyhookband To save you some critique time, we recorded the original tracks too hot and have some consistent clipping and our lead guitar player had some intonation problems...

How about for mixing after the recording is done? Would you just have a movable desk with some fixed speakers? Thanks to everyone for the friendly advice. It's extremely helpful.

isolation Thanks for the quick response. Doesn't a single room make it impossible to obtain separation when recording multiple instruments concurrently? How do you contain bleed from the drums into the mic for guitar amp, bass amp (if used), or vocals? Is it done using a small isolation box for...

I'm just beginning to plan for my home studio. I've got a room that's 26' x 10' with 8' ceilings. It's not attached to anything where people live, so sound proofing is not a major issue. I plan on recording full bands, live drums included. First step is to determine how many rooms (if more than...
