Flailing up a storm.
OK, just bought my first house and moved in over the course of the last week or two. there is a good deal of fixer-upper to this place, but i love it. after about 2 weeks of not touching an instrument (let alone pulling out mics etc) I finally started setting up the studio space down there.
Basement is pretty dry, no leaks or seepage of water, and eventually i am going to seal up the whole damn thing and finish it, but that is far off and i want to make sure i am not damaging my gear. it is a little musty, but I have also fixed some plumbing issues and it may dry out a bit more as that works itself out. Today I bought a digital temp thing with a humidity reading and I have been pricing dehumidifiers, but i would rather spend $150 on a RNC than a dehumidifier if possible!
So what are the basics? My guitars will be loving the humidity, but i imainge my computer and mics and pre' and such won't. Anyone know some general guidelines on what would be considered ideal? Any sense of max/min tolerances for sensitive equipment like condensor mics and such?
Thanks,
Daav
