Pretty Decent. Not enough bass (not sure there was even a bass in it). I think you could take the guitars down a little bit so we could hear the vocals. temp changes were cool and really bring the energy. cheers C>

Good stuff. I thought the drums were a little too perfect/plasticy, but you kind lose track of that because you start listening to the vocals. Nice guitar sounds. Only recommendation I would have is to bring up the level of the telephone-frequency/phaser vocal piece before the break - I could...

I just see you have been on here three years longer than me. You haven't seen the many, many threads where people say don't cut the room up?

Holy Crap you sure weren't kidding about the Metal. You guys sound pretty damn decent, even on myspace. If you're dead set on chopping up your space, nothing anyone says here will make any difference. You have to decide where to make the compromises; if you think you will be comfortable for the...

A booth is a fine thing to have, especially if you need to do live group stuff and have an isolated vocal track. (soft vocals, classical guitar et) For the space compromise in your situation (huge, 50%?), and the type of music (Metal), I can't see giving up the room for it. Now, an isolation...

Hi lenMCHC, Just a thought, I know you didn't want to wear earplugs while getting your kits miced, but I think your space(s) will be very, very difficult to use. I think the main problem will be physical access - if you have a monitoring/mixing desk set up at 38% of either space, you are in the...

I used the compressed fiberglass tiles to create my bass traps. Stacked them up, put them in wood frames, covered with muslin. Worked great for me! 160 sq ft of traps in 110 sq ft room. I made them anywhere from 2" to 10" thick, depending on how much space was available. (since it was a tiny...

You need to replace the drivers with the replacement parts from edirol. Buying drivers after the fact is a crapshoot - the cabinets and crossovers were designed to work with specific parameters from the drivers - if you don't have access to those numbers, then who knows what kind of results you...

keep it one room - it will be cramped if you try to have separate spaces. do a lot of research, put the thought into it beforehand - it is very expensive and time consuming to make things work after the fact. - 10 months ought to see you right. be prepared to spend real money to make this...

put the computer in a another room - that is the easiest way. extension cables for all your peripherals. C>

you are making it too complicated. pay attention to the components in your DAW: if you have a quiet drive, and optimize the airflow inside the box, you can probaby get by with one large, slow moving fan, and maybe a nice quiet fan on a high quality power supply. Make sure you have a video card...

Cubicle walls as you describe are great for absorption - don't bother just using the innards! We hung about 15 of those in a project studio, the frames are quite handy to attach eyebolts and chain to position them like you want to. hanging them at an angle to whatever surface they are on can...

+10 on measuring, +20 on talking to the neighbors. Go ahead and talk to your neighbors on each side to let them know what you are doing - you might find out that they don't mind or that they are extremely sensitive to noise - either way, they will probably appreciate the fact that you are...

they will work fine. I use this myself, i have a bunch of 3" and 4" thick panels assembled from ridgid fiberglass ceiling tiles. I used 1 X 4 lumber around the edges, and shot brads into the sides to secure the fiberglass, then covered with muslin (muslin secured with my buddy hot glue) butt...

Are those rigid fiberglass acoustic ceiling tiles with facing on them? If they are, then you have them upside down for what you are trying to achieve. (the facing is opaque to sound - it will reflect!) If they are not the rigid fiberglass, then I am not sure what effect they will have on your...

Rick comes across a little dramatically, but I think he's right. OP said he wants to isolate, has a weak structure, on the second floor with (according to his details) adjoining spaces. OP should take a step back, especially if he is an engineering type. This will very likely be expensive and...

OC703 is the type of rigid fiberglass insulation you are looking for. OC = "Owens Corning", an insulation manufacturer. Building supply places, Home Depot, that sort of place will carry it. It's not outrageously expensive, but if you are just now at the point of realizing you need some sort of...

Hi Creep - sorry if I implied that size studio was not usable - (I was being a little sarcastic) IMHO, and personal experience, 30 X 28 was almost enough room. I'd kill for 16 X 24 - I have 11 X 11! (and yes, it is usable, but you gotta be close friends to have more than two people in there.) I...

you are awfully late looking for advice! Two weeks out from beginning construction is not the time to do research! I advise putting off construction 3 - 6 months so you can get some input on some potentially costly, dysfunctional, and dangerous mistakes you may be about to make. my two cents...
