Sounds like you're doing it right, Jay. For the reflection point panels, I'd go ahead and make them out of rockwool as well, 4" thick with a 2 or 4" air gap between them and the walls if you can manage it. And my understanding is that with a room of your size, you can't go wrong with too much...

Yeah. I don't know if ATS will ship overseas. Maybe look into this outfit? Rockwool | Belgrade Insulations Ltd | Distributors of Thermal and Acoustic Insulation

I've ordered this before: Roxul Rockboard 60 It's easy to work with and would be great for making your clouds and reflection point panels. They also have the fabric coverings you'd need. Shipping's not cheap but their prices are pretty good and kind of make up for it I think. You can also...

Jay, I really admire your enthusiasm to jump in and do this right despite the limitations of the room. To me, part of the wonderful challenge of this hobby is actually trying to figure out how to make the best out of what we have. We don't all have a million dollars or a 3000 square foot...

I was curious about this and did a quick search. Came up with the following youtube video which demonstrates the problem you experienced and what to do about it. This is with an old version of Sonar so you'll likely have to hunt around to find the same checkboxes, etc. in the newer Sonar's...

You're right about the AC unit, Mike. I'll shop carefully for the right one - that was just a representation. I'm gonna look for the quietest one I can find that has enough BTU rating to get the job done without spending more than I need, but still doubt if I'll run it while doing any...

Great looking room! Very inspiring to see your progression from raw basement to a beautiful and functioning studio in well under a year. I've just gotten all the crap cleared out of my own basement space and am working up the designs for my newest studio project. The last one I built took me...

Totally. My last studio was even smaller and even though it was in the basement and generally cool, after working in there with the equipment on for a while it would get seriously hot! With no HVAC system in it, the only option I had was to quit working while I opened the doors and ran a fan...

So here is what I'm thinking at the moment: On the west end, I figure I'll frame in a second wall, just inside the new one under the existing beam, but isolated from the beam with some sort of rubber hanger (I'm pretty sure I saw something like that advertised - need to find it again). I will...

Wow, I can't believe it's been over eight years since I've posted anything on this site! Coincides with the time when I was last actively working on and in my own home studio, but that was two houses and a lot of life ago. I learned a lot about what to do and what not to do from building that...

I have one, and am very pleased with it. Works good on my own vocals, much nicer than the dynamics which I used before I got the C1. While I am in no way qualified to tell you how it compares to more expensive mics, I can tell you that I think it was an excellent value - I get very clean...

Here's an example of an inexpensive audio interface (soundcard)/preamp combination: http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--MDOMOBILEPRE It features 2 built-in microphone preamps and usb connectivity for a laptop.

55-60% doesn't seem excessively high. Perhaps the musty smell indicates a mildew problem, possibly from a leak or a past or present plumbing issue. Did you have the house inspected for dryrot and such before you bought it? Running the dehumidifier to get your humidity between 42 and 55% might...

:D :D :D :D Love it! :D :D :D :D

Hey Randy, welcome. Enjoying some of your tunes while I type.

Lookin good - keep at it!
