Tuning peg came off of my acoustic (kids deny knowing what happened!!!) and then took off another to take the screw into the hardware store to buy one the same size. Now the second tuning peg and screw are missing!!! Does anyone know what size screw (if it's standard at all) we'll need?

Damn. Lost the link part from my DW double kick pedal. You know, that long rectangular thing that goes between the elbow on each pedal. At the drum store, they tell me it's over $100 and a special order!!! Just a little simple piece of metal!! Any suggestions? I might as well just buy a...

I'm reasearching Desktop CD Duplication. I'd love to be able to do short runs, like 50 or 100 for some of my clients. Does anyone know anything about this product? or have other suggestions? http://www.primeratechnology.com/bravo/bravo.asp

Time for me to get serious about patch bays. What are the inherent strengths of getting a TT patch bay as opposed to a 1/4" bay?

Moving my CPU's to a machine room to get quiet here in my control room. Would love some advice/links to long (25') keyboard/mouse/monitor cable extensions. I've got a Mac, a PC, and a Mackie D8B and HDR, so basically 3 PC's and a Mac. Any performance differences between different products?

There's a pitch that rings a bit in my new control room (which otherwise is sounding good), a mid bass pitch. How can I make a Helmholz resonator tuned to that pitch to get rid of it? I've got a few bass traps, I'm going to make more, but i don't know if that will solve the problem. Will a...

i'm building racks for some of my gear, and i'm considering just making the rails of wood. I've seen this done before, even on commercial products. Is there a good reason to go with metal rack rails? anyone with nice rack designs out there?

the studio I've been building is coming out great. One thing that's concerning me now is street noise entering thru the ventilation system, which is all networked in the rafters. I think we've done a good job with soundproofing, close all the doors, and street noise pretty much disappears...

I'm just about ready move my gear in to my new building and wire up the place. Of course, i'm so ADD that I can only think one and a half steps ahead of myself, so i'm just now figuring out how I'm going to do it. I know what I want for i/o boxes in each room, connected to snakes. I'm...

Ok, i don't want my large room to be permanently crippled by a drum platform. Any ideas for making a platform that's removable?

Here's a pic of my main room/drum room floor joist set up using Auralex U-boat neoprene pads.

Here's some new pix. Just got the window frames in. Glass, doors and floors is pretty much all thats left to do!

1) the guy at the store I'm buying glass from tells me safety glass will be better for soundproofing purposes than tempered glass. true or false? 2) I'm angling my windows away from each other. Does the spacing at the bottom between the panes of glass matter much? If they're only an inch...

After running out of the RC-1 i had ordered from Auralex, i went searching for a local dealer. The guys who knew what i was talking about told me no one uses RC-1 anymore, everyone uses RC-2. So we went with RC-2 the rest of the way. Waaaaay easier to deal with. any performance difference...

i'm just about about reached the point of installing floating floors in my studio, and I'm starting to wonder if there's a compelling reason to float the floor in the control room. I'm floating the floors in the piano room, drum (main room) room and iso booth. It sure would be faster, easier...

A client of mine asked me about affordable ($300-700 or so) powered monitors. I don't really know what's available and good in that range. anybody? she also is interested in Mic Pre's in a similar price range. any recommendations there? thanks

I'm floating floors on these little U shaped neoprene "U-boats." I've always assumed that the floor would be last, but now i wonder if it really makes any difference. I'm waiting on electrical and HVAC people before i hang drywall, so I could actually be making floor progress while I'm...

Just been reading here about resilient channel. I bought a bunch of it for my new rooms, haven't installed it yet. But now I'm wondering. I've got double walls or staggered studs everywhere. Will I still benefit from RC, or does the separation I've already got going to make it a waste of...

Question 1 -- I really like the look of recessed lighting, but am concerned about losing isolation, cutting big holes in soundproofed ceilings. Should I just go with track lighting? Question 2 -- What improvement will I get by buying an expensive commercial soundproofed door vs. a do it myself...

I'd love some advice regarding soundproofing. I've got a normal existing exterior wall (drywall on inside, siding and brick on the other) onto which i've put a layer of 1/2" celotex and a layer of 1/2 drywall. I've built a 2x4 wall an inch inside and I'm still up in the air about exactly what...
