YOU GOT IT MICHAEL!!
Cool. I'm glad SOMEONE is interested. Seems like no matter what I post here, it seems to slip over everyones head. Or no one is interested, which is beyond me. I thought thats why this forum existed. Go figure. Thats why I haven't bothered to do what I said I was going to do yet. Anyway, yea Michael. This stuff is real. But I thought you already ordered your stuff? Unless your outside jambs arn't in yet. Is that what your referring to? All your others are sliders arn't they?
But thats not all I'm collecting Michael. Hence my interest in your plenum. My purpose is to try and detail all the typical stuff a home studio enthusiast needs for building everything himself. Kinda what Steve is doing, but really Michael, as you know, Autocad is the standard that design professionals use throughout the industry. And after conversing with an acoustician named LW Swist this weekend, I'm even more convinced that this Autocad is the way to go, regardless of here. Because all the manufacturer details are drawn in Autocad, and if you have the program, you simply import their files and punch them into the drawing IN SCALE. Plus, you can zoom in and look at 1/32 or less increments. Like the edges of extrusions meeting a rubber seal, etc. Man, you just can't do it with smartdraw or any of the other programs. BTW, check his designs out. See below. Wow. Thats all I can say. I was so impressed I actually emailed him my resume and asked for a job

Ha! Talk about out of my mind

But you know what? He emailed me shop drawings for a VERY cool protools console he designed, and acatually asked me if I could detail as good as his vendors do. Of course I could. Even better I told him. I mean, I do Macys flagship stores. Sooooo, we'll see.
The only downside is here and the other forums. They just don't support Autocad. I mean, a conversion to .gif and .jpg is sorta ok. BUT, when you have a large file, or just want to post the whole thing and let others zoom to where they want, its a no no. BUT, what I'll do for you is attatch the files to an email(oops thats what you said

heheheh! Excuse me.
Hey Michael, whats with the new sense of humor?

You use to be OH SO PRO!! hahaha! Don't get me wrong. I'm just teasin ya, You know this ole fart. Pokein fun at everything and everybody. GAWD if I didn't I think I'd go nuts. The world is too damn serious enough already. Gotta have some fun and loooooooosen up!! Heeehehehe! I know I probably pissed ya a few times too. I usually do everyone. After all. I'm worse than Steve. I'm not only a grouchy old fart, but a grumpier grouchy ole fart!! Ha!
Ok Michael, I still have to punch the details I think will work for home studio use cause theres a ton of em. You know, ones that will work CHEAP. Ha. In fact. What I am trying to do is detail the damn jambs, head, and thresholds for a variety of situations. Which now that I've seen the principles, IS fairly complex. Hence the details in CAD. This is PRECISION shit. Not your run of the mill wham bam thank ya mam whip it out on your skill saw shit. Kno what I'm sayin? In fact, I'm thinking of offering custom Jamb/door assemblys for home studio builders. Not the scientific STC prooven stop a 747 noise shit. But good enough for your average home studio builder. I don't know. Maybe its not worth the trouble. I dream alot, ya know. But, its a thought. Ok, let me work with this stuff a few days and I'll get it to you, ok? Unless you just want the details from the manufacturers. After all, your an engineer, so, you tell me. In that case, I'll simply send you the links and let you pick them out. I'd post them here but they wouldn't do any one any good cause they are in Autocad. Get my drift?
One other thing Michael. As to the stepped ceiling thing. I gotta say something here that has amazed me for a couple of years. Of all the stuff I've read about acoustics, every single day I look at new Pro acoustic engineered studios that contradict and defy other pro opinion. Man, its absolutely maddening. Like the triple leaf thing. I just saw a BIG budget, pro acoustic engineer designed studio where ALL the walls were triple leaf. And windows. They used 4 friggin panes. And 3 walls. And roofing felt between layers of gypboard. And on and on and on. All the stuff that others say NOT to do. Fuck. It drives me CRAZY. Anyway, forgive my stuff here. Its just unbelievable sometimes. WHO DO YOU BELIEVE? And these guys are getting paid BIG BUCKS? Oh the insanity of it all. Ha! Oh well. Thats the world for ya. You must know a secret though. You just jumped in the water and started swimmin. I like that. It tells me something.
