Suggestion #1 - skip the booth and build some gobo panels, you are probably going to waste alot of time, effort and money trying to make a tiny booth like that work for you. It's likely not worth the effort involved, and you'll get better results (and a much more comfortable space) from...

Craigslist to the rescue again - after shopping for curtains to cover the walls, I realized I needed about $400 worth. Ouch. So, relentlessly cruised CL for the next 5 days and found this - 32 yards of 60" wide fabric in a pretty decent shade of orangeish/red. $25 CL really kicks ass. I picked...

"Their" studio. The hard way, bit by bit.

Thanks Re-tox, I sure hope it turns out as good as I hope. Like Weasel said, the Roxsul can perform either function - Acoustic Absorption - When the roxsul is exposed to the interior space of the studio (like it is in between the joists in my space) it will absorb the sound energy directly -...

It's ROXSUL time. So there is a branch of SP&I here, (Specialty Products and Insulation). I can get 8# density 4" thick ROXSUL for $1.20 @ sq ft. I am really fortunate, the house is built with engineered lumber, so the ceiling joists are actually wooden i-beams. I cut the ROXSUL to fit inside...

Hey folks, I am finishing out my second studio space, thought I would post the progress from bare ground, so to speak. It's a utility room in the front of my basement; 14' X 14' X 8'. Three walls are concrete with fiberglass batt blanket over them (it has a polyethelene finish). One wall is...

Hey Tzaxo - slow down man. You're talking about spending 10K and you really don't seem to have a lot of knowledge about what to spend it on. 1) Your computer plans - (don't take this the wrong way) are kind of ridiculous. Buy something reasonably fast/modern (Intel Core I7), and run Windows 7...

Hey BD, Just an observation - your logos are impossible to read. Hell man, I knew the name on one of them (your handle here) and I couldb't haves guessed it to save my life. The tires aren't doing anything but making the room smaller. lose'em. You will be unpleasantly surprised how much...

Haa, Yeah, another reminder from my past in 3D modeling - If you get some significant work done, just save off a copy, so that you have a fall back point in case you fark it up later. Can't tell you how many times that has save my bacon. I don't care for use of "gay" as a description of...

I thought it was the devil at first too - go through the tutorials and realize that you can hit tab and type in the dimensions you need and the light bulb will come on. You have to get used to it snapping to the correct orientation, once you realize that it is trying to help you, instead of...

just using gobos would certainly be easier; it will not solve your problem of having people talk while you are tracking, or isolating the tracking room from the rest of the world. Give sketch-up another shot, it kicks ass. When you said young guy, I was thinking high school age. You got miles...

Nice work! I'm in the throes of the next space. Cheers C>

Cinder Block is as good as you are going to get. No point in covering it up, waste of effort/treasure. Go to the library and try to find some of Rod Gervais books and thoroughly understand the content of Ethan Winers website. One thing you can certainly do for free is download and learn to...

1) somethings busted with the tunings between the guitars. Can't put my finger on it but seems there is a second guitar maybe baritone that is out of tune by a significant amount. 2) need more bass 3) singer might be ok, he actually sounds decent about 40% of the time, but there are a couple...

not bad for a maiden effort. Guitars are way too up front. Drums are almost an afterthought. Vocals are a good level but I think they need a little verb. Bass is almost non existent. I can't tell panning with my current setup, but you may want to spread out the rhythm and lead. Cute song. Cheers C>

Well ok then, if you are never going to be doing more than one person, then two rooms might be an ok thing for you. If you are intent on monitoring them from the control room on your monitors, then you obviously you will have to attempt to soundproof the booth. Even for a small booth, with a...

1. Clean out all the crap you don't need. 2. You don't need a control room, it will be a waste of space, time, money and effort. One good sized space will be your best bet. You will have enough trouble working with one space acoustically and mechanically/electrically - and it will not be a...

You are completely correct terrible, terrible recording. This might even sound good if it had been recorded correctly. You need to close mic the guitars, and record them (with everyone playing). then let the drummer listen to the guitars you recorded (on headphones), and record him. then go back...

hhmmm. drums too far away, too much reverb. guitar sound ok, but not entirely in sync with everybody. vocals ok too much verb and too far away from mic it seems. Where is the bottom end? Might have been closer to the mark if it had some bumpin bass in it. Cheers C>

Kick ass man. Allman Brothers sings Snowblind. good stuff all the way around. Cheers C>
