Goodbye Studio

[technominds]

storage cabinet nearly complete

 

[technominds]

wired up the lighting to dimmers.

the front 4 lights (which will be over the desk) are wired down to a dimmer which will be mounted onto the desk so i can control the lighting without having to get off my seat =]

I know the second would be best, but the first is much easier and leaves me with alot more room in the booth.

Im going to to the wall behind the mic entirely from fabricated rockwool and then the wall behind me the same.

The side walls and ceiling im going to tile with foam.

Im going to have to add rubber seals on the door and caulk up a little more because isolation seems to be minimal at the moment, im guessing once the rockwool is in, that may help also.

I think the second leave you with more room... Remember in the first the panel is 8" from the wall.

Rockwool won't help isolation. And yeh the rockwool and foam seems ok. Should help. Remember the leave a gap...!!!

started building the right corner soffit

What angle is the soffit? It looks 45 degrees. Shouldn't it be 60?

You gonna fill this with clothes? I think you should make the door like a broadband trap... Either that or have it quite thin.

Lazy bastard

Im not sure of the exact angle. But it hits the ear perfectly, and I can always set the speaker angle different to the soffit

There will be a door, hold your horses =]

The building of the desk begins...

and its a big one...

 

[VSpaceBoy]

Looks nice indeed

 

[technominds]

on go the front panels to the soffits

and the desk is almost complete

im really happy with how its turning out!

would it be an idea to put in some covered insulation around the speakers?

If you mean in the soffits surrounding the speakers then, absolutly. It'll help control the cabinet from resonating.

I record in a 9.5' x 14' room, and when it was dead I hated the sound. I would up pulling half the foam off and now it's ugly - but it sounds good. It was 2" auralex.

Go for LF and broadband absorbtion, but if you kill all the HF you will be sorry.

A ittle bit goes a long way for HF absorbtion.

Did you skin any of the broadband absorbers to reflect highs or did you just remove the foam? How's your room sounding now? Happy with the superchunks?

Looking great, and yeah covered insulation. Did you read up on soffits much? I don't know a great deal...

And what speakers you got, the warfdales and what?

I saw a few construction threads on them, and assumed alot from what ive learned about everything else.

The other speakers are some loudspeakers I used to use a while ago for PA work, they are good for volume, less so much for accuracy. As I use them in conjunction with a sub, I knock off the low and and use them for mids and highs.

Lack of progress due to easter, but im now back on track =]

Up goes the TV on a wallmount.
Wired up the front lights on the seperate dimmer
Finished off the soffits, just need to put in some hinges.
Skirting all down.

I collected my rockwool today, and i way over ordered.. ive got 20 panels of 4x2.

I think im going to make 7 panels,
2 for first reflection,
2 for the rear wall,
2 for the side/ceiling angles
1 for the rear wall/ceiling

Then im going to have to build a small frame to hold my 15inch TFT monitor in the booth, and then surround it with fabricated rockwool. On the rear wall of the booth im going to screw in two pieces of timber at the top and bottom, and then let the fabric hold in all the rockwool.

What about a cloud? Is it possible to do any more corners(angles)? It looks great. Love the tv. That dip in thee desk don't look to great though. Maybe put in MDF, vertically, below it, if you know what i mean.

The desk is perfectly straight! It must be something funny in the picture! There are a load of support beams to make sure it doesnt bend!

I dont want to go overkill on the traps so im keeping it at 7... remember I have my 3 soffits and a corner unit aswell, it should be plenty

You have been very busy, but looking good so far.
