I am helping a friend build a recording studio, and his father has some mysterious connection at work where he can get belden cable at factory cost. We're looking at using this for all of our internal studio wiring, as well as patchbays and mic cords. To people that have used this before, is...

I have finally found some info on just how big the hanging panels have to be for low frequency absorbtion. From the book "Project Studios: A More Professional Approach" by Philip Newell, page 164 states: "Effective low frequency absorbers have traditionally been large; their dimensions often...

I have some questions about low-mid absorption that I’m hoping someone can help me with. Specifically, on the John Sayers site, he refers to hanging panels (Dacron over MDF), usually shown in a ceiling cavity (for example, of varying lengths in the back of a control room). Please note that I...

Thought some here might find this interesting. This is a copy of the letter my friend sent to Mr Albini, with his reply. For those of you not familiar with Steve's work, he has been guitarist/frontman for Big Black, Rapeman and Shellac; if you haven't heard them, you've heard someone imitating...

Total newbie question, which is what I am. Setting up a project studio, want to establish "stations", or whatever the term is, for headphones for multiple musicians. Want each headphone set to be adjustable in terms of the mix. Could someone walk me through the basic approach of how this is...

I'm designing a recording studio with a friend of mine in his basement. I qualify this by saying that he is pretty serious about music and recording and wants to do things right (he has about eight grand in recording equipment right now). However, between the three of us there is almost no...
