the double doors actually lead to a wide open basement which is actually quite noisey due to a furnace and open staircase leading upstairs to a very yappy dog. The small door however is a closet full of a bunch of clothes and other shelves and junk.

wow thanks for those sketches. they're pretty much my room exactly. They offer very good suggestions that i didn't even consider before. A question though... with the room as you have drawn, is there an optimum way for the instruments to face while recording them? I'm a drummer so I often...

i've got plans to move the monitors facing the room but due to the way my room/desk is currently set up, i can't really do it too well. Once i move stuff around or I leave my parents place i'll have it exactly how i want. I unfortunately have a lot of little corners to fill. when i start...

for the baffles, i made frames out of pine, bought some roxul safe and sound and then wrapped it in speakercloth. There's not really a whole lot to it other than making sure the dimensions of your frame allow for the fiberglass to fit inside properly. the majority of my frames were made using...

Does anyone know how to make the vinyl stopping effect? not like scratching but rather the sound if the tune slowing down and gradually going down in pitch. Is it a plugin? or do people somehow record themselves scrubbing a track? I'm hoping this is possible in Pro Tools. Thanks!

the meeks are alright. They're limited in how much you can control them (at least these models are). I find it frustrating not knowing how much gain reduction I have with the compressors since all I have to reference is a little light that flashes brighter depending on how much its...

they're Yorkville YSM1s. They are a little tight but i find that with the right angle and me sitting far away enough from them i can find their sweet spot. Eventually i plan on moving outta here and getting a real control room so i can position them a little better. The desk i have now is...

Here's mine I just wanted to share some pics of my studio with you guys. I often drool over pics of yours so its my turn to try to make you salivate :) I finally got the time to put together some sound absorbers to control my room. So far they've been doing a pretty good job. I think i've...

this is going to sound like a really stupid and simple question but my handyman skills aren't good by any means... how did you make your baffles so that there is a wood frame on the outside and the fabric just covers the fiberglass? is it just a matter of stapling or do you make two frames...

looks like a 16x14 blue sparkle finish ply collectors series

you CAN'T daisychain 002s or 003s... its Digidesigns way of making you upgrade to an HD rig. or else a lot of people would probably buy a few 002s for cheaper than an HD rig and have just as many inputs

i had the opportunity to compare a u87 to a Rode NT-1 and I thought the rode came very very close. The singer I worked with actually preferred the rode. its a very good alternative in my oppinion and WAY cheaper

i just bought the DV toolkit bundle for pro tools and I've gotta say that the TL space reverb is wicked. plus having the extra tracks available to you is killer. it has saved me so many times already. and smack is a killer compresser too. for the price of the MP toolkit, i dont think you can...

thanks for the advice. I do have the sound ideas library but there's still a bunch of sounds that are missing or that would be quicker to do as foley so thats why i was asking. is there a link to the PSW forum?

Does anyone have any tips for recording foley sounds? I recently got a job where I need to do a bunch but i'm finding that a lot of the sounds I need to record are often so quiet (like paper rustling or clothing movements) that I need to crank my pres all the way and when I normalize them to...

hey hoops.. great studio. What is the model of the power conditioner you're using that is in the rack above the bass cab? I've been looking to find one like that but haven't had any luck Thanks!

i totalyl agree with grinder. i own a pair of ysm1s and i feel that they lack clairty especially in the bottom end. my roomate has a pair of mackie 824s and they kill my yorkvilles for clarity

i know the Barenaked Ladies have the option to buy their protools sessions online for really cheap (like $4) and then you can remix it and they'll post your mix up on their website. its a pretty cool idea

I wouldn't mention anything at all about your feelings on the mix. first let them hear what you've done at least for one tune and see what they think. if they like it then there's no need to give them any money back. they agreed to make the record with you in those conditions and therefore...
