    Motherboard and harddrive questions

    Seems like all the recommended boards these days have onboard audio. Is this bad? Is firewire better supported on the board or PCI card...or is mobo firewire even available? The ASUS site doesn't mention it on the P4C800-E deluxe, but www.tomshardware.com says it's on there. What happened to...

    Found national chain sells 703 rigid fiberglass

    -LOL! If I remeber correctly, the 703 type was around $.63/sqrft for the 1" and $.92 for the 2". I think they have to special order 705- can't remember anything about the price.

    Found perfect neoprene for doors!

    Found out today that the place I've been getting the fiberglass is a chain. May be a store near you. https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=119730

    Found national chain sells 703 rigid fiberglass

    It's called Specialty Products and Insulation Company. They have stores in CA, OR, WA, etc., but are mostly concentrated in the south. http://www.spi-co.com/servicecenterdirectory.mv

    Found perfect neoprene for doors!

    Chingon, it's $1.72/foot. I've figured around 20 feet for a 36" door. That should leave you with a little room for error on most doors. Shouldn't cost much to send. To make things simple I guess we could settle on a set price for shipping, like say, $5? notbradsohner, how big is your door? Now...

    Found perfect neoprene for doors!

    This is what I did today: picked up 27 sheets of 5/8 drywall, took it home, unloaded it by myself about 50+ feet to the back yard, went back and got 44 rolls of insulation wrapped in pallet plastic in three bundles of 12 with 8 left over, stacked 'em close to 8 feet high in the back of a...

    Found perfect neoprene for doors!

    Thanks for the link laptoppop, but I don't think that stuff would work too well. It's too tall. RickW, six doors, eh? That'll take a hefty chunk right there. We're almost there! FWIW, I've already decided I'm getting the 500 feet. If anybody wants in, speak up now, 500 feet won't go as far as...

    Found perfect neoprene for doors!

    I don't see why not. It's not as if 703's not available either. It's just not sold to the public. That doesn't mean the public can't get it. You just have to find a place that supplies contractors and is willing to sell it to you. Some places will, some won't. All you have to do is open the...

    Found perfect neoprene for doors!

    North Carolina. I got the guy at Lowes to actually call Owens Corning. They said they don't sell 703 to retail stores.

    Found perfect neoprene for doors!

    I need 500 feet to get that rate. A typical 36" door is a little over 19 feet. If you figure most people need to treat at least two doors, then we'd need around twelve people. If we can at least get close I'll eat the extra. How much 703 do you need? Have you looked into shipping costs? If it's...

    What if I cant find any Rigid Fiberglass?

    There's place about 15 minutes from me that quoted me, I think, $.95/square foot for 2" 703 FRK. If anyone's interested, I could check for sure. If it works out with shipping for you, I'd be happy to help if you go in with me on a bulk purchase of some foam neoprene for doors. See the thread...

    Found perfect neoprene for doors!

    I've tried plain old foam neoprene strips (actually, it's not neoprene. It's epdm rubber. Which is what all foam type neoprene is really. You can't make pure neoprene lower than 40 durometer, which is WAY too stiff to compress with human force) in various thicknesses around 1/8". It works fine...

    Accessing data CD-RW locks-up computer

    This disc is my recordings, but uses plenty of drum samples which have been downloaded from various places. There are also some tablature and midi files of popular songs. Most of it I could probably not miss too much, but there are two songs in particular that have quite a bit of editing and mix...

    Accessing data CD-RW locks-up computer

    I back up my music related files to CD-RW and one of them will not open up. In fact, any time I try to access it, by shortcut to cdrom disc, explorer, or even if I boot the computer with it in the drive, the computer locks up. If I ctrl+alt+del, it says Explorer and Pcciomon- my anti-virus...

    "ping" software to prevent timeout disconnect

    Think that'll do it? I would've thought you'd need something going out of the computer, and it seems like an updating website would just be stuff coming in.

    "ping" software to prevent timeout disconnect

    Know of any online places I can go to learn how to do that? or maybe books? My programming experience is limited to FORTRAN, BASIC and just a little DOS, but I'm pretty comfortable learning new stuff.

    "ping" software to prevent timeout disconnect

    Can anyone recommend something? I've tried a couple different internet speed booster things that had a ping function supposedly built-in. One wouldn't even boot up and one wouldn't ping. Frustrating. I'm using 98se. Thanks.

    Latest news on new Soundcraft mixers . . .

    Almost identical to Ghost pres, huh? I'm sure you've seen the threads here fairly recently taking that statement to task. Originally the party line was that they were the SAME pres as in the Ghost. A bit of misleading hype that kinda rubs me the wrong way. How close are they anyway? Is a Mackie...

    How effective is sound proofing?

    Thanks Steve. Going to reverse wall reduces the air gap by about 3.5". So that's a 3.5-7 dB increase in STC according to what you just said. That's pretty close but not quite consistent with what I inferred from a graphic I found by following the link you posted here. I thought this topic...

    Reverse wall skepticism

    Reverse wall construction, as I understand it, is a double wall technique where you put your interior plasterboard on the OUTSIDE of the stud of the INTERIOR wall. Starting from the inside of your studio, you'd have STUD, plasterboard, space, stud, plasterboard. Normal double wall construction...
