i have a feeling your new, bass-challenged position is also a much more accurate listening environment than your previous one. it sounds like all that extra bass in your old setup was coming from wall reflections, so take any mix you do in that position with all that 'mega-bass', and listen to...

i am going to be studding out the wall framing in my basement studio soon, and i have some questions. the situation is: i will have two rooms (a control room and a studio room), plus a small bathroom, a small sound lock/vocal booth, and a laundry room. i have a little over 7' headroom between...

sure that'll work... at least until the styrofoam come apart and the wall collapses on you. take some styrofoam sometime and crumble it in your hand... do you really want to trust that stuff to hold up a wall? I think what you want here are some resilient channels to hang your sheetrock onto...

well the main reason i want to use the computer for viewing the studio instead of a separate monitor, is to save space in what i expect will be an already cramped control room. i was under the impression (and correct me if i'm wrong) that tracking doesn't use nearly as much cpu power as mixing...

what i have to work with that sounds like a good idea, the only problem however is that there is a 8"x8" horizontal support beam that runs across the ceiling where the wall separating the CR and studio will be. Therefore, the two sides of the wall will need to be at least 8" apart. I had...

studiocam hey, people have webcams in their offices, bedrooms, showers, etc... why not a studiocam? I would prefer to have a window but given the time, money and skills i have to work with the cctv seems like a reasonable choice. i have seen some cctv camera/card packages on the web that seem...

Actually, now that I've had the chance to check that link again, I don't think it answers my question. The chart shows the STC for resilient channels (47) and staggered studs (48), but it doesn't list the STC for a wall that has both resilient channels AND staggered studs. I thought you had...

I've been in a couple studios where, instead of a window between the control room and studio, they used closed-circuit TV cameras to see into the studio. I thought that was pretty cool, and definitely would make soundproofing and construction of the wall between the 2 rooms easier and less...

I'm not sure this is the best place to ask this question, but if there is another area on this forum that would be better, let me know. I've been in a couple studios where, instead of a window between the control room and studio, they used closed-circuit TV cameras to see into the studio. I...

Thanks, John. In other words.... yes it would be redundant. Rick, dB are logarithmic and the figure I always remember is that an increase in 10dB is equal to 10 times as much sound energy. However, 3dB is equal to only twice as much energy. 1dB is about the minimum change in loudness the human...

hello, i've been reading this forum for a few weeks but this is my first question here. I'm glad I found this forum, I will be redoing my basement in about a month and a half to soundproof and acoustically treat it. I am rebuilding my existing studio room (approx 27' x 11') and adding a 2nd...

VO work pays much better than recording unsigned bands. so if all you have is $1K, you could build a basic control room and a dead vocal booth for VOs. In 6 months to a year, you should be able to save up the money from VO work to treat the rest of your space and start having some fun.

cymbals oh yeah, the $1500 is an approx. figure for drums w/ hardware. if i settled on a kit that was too much, i might go down to a 4pc. instead of a 5pc. and add a 3rd tom later. i'll probably pick up another snare too, esp. if i go with a birch kit because i'd still like to have a maple...

tama, conaway i've been hearing a lot about the conaway drums on the harmony central forums, and they sound like good drums at a great price, but i don't know that i want to go the custom route at the moment. i'm really hoping to buy through a local store for the ease of resolving any potential...

I saw the Studio Projects VTP-1 preamp for sale at bayviewproaudio.com and it listed the expected ship date as end of January. Is this outdated info, or is the VTP-1 now available, and if so, has anyone bought one or tried one out?

I'm not a drummer (not a very good one anyway) but I am looking for a drumkit for my home studio. I'm looking for a good quality kit for recording only (no live use), 5pc. standard kit w/ hardware, for about $1500 give or take a couple hundred. Mainly for rock and pop types of music, though it...
