Just remodeled the studio. Want to see?

Total redo of my third floor space. Raised the ceiling over the drum area to a peak to get the mics higher up. Floor refinished, new electrical, Built headphone amp and tuner into the wall, ran all snakes through the wall. Made a closet Iso room, new owens corning 705 redgid fiberglass traps and wall treatments, all new relays and caps on the mx70. got some 80s vintage ns10s.

Very very nice. . . That's a sweet studio you've got there. . .
Way to go on the hardwood floor, too.

 

[westgate]

prrrrrrrrretty nice!

 

[cjacek]

Yeah, awesome man!

 

[sweetbeats]

NICE!!!

Thumbs up to that. Boy that must have been a lot of work!

It looks really great. Hope you are at a point where you can enjoy it now. I bet that recording room has a nice live but controlled character to it. Everything looks so comfy. Is the MS-16 gone then? And do I recall correctly that you have the parts to run the MX-70 as a 2" or is it either 1" 16-track or 1" 8-track?

The update is an encouragement to those of us that seem to continuously wallow in the process of "getting there"...like...me.

That is real nice. What kind of Tama's do you have? I like the Big Boy above the mixer.

Cory, I sold my 1 inch 8 track mx70 to pay for the remodel and work on my 16 track mx70. Sold it to a studio here in Cleveland with the agreement that I could use it if they weren't. The ms16 is at my friend's rehearsal space. It took up a lot of room. Do you have an ms16 still or is that ethan? I've got a couple more parts laying around..

Dodge, The whole job took about 8 weeks in my "spare" time. I'm getting the tax rebate for all the new windows! I love my big boy. The bobble head pope net to it is cool too.

Here's a couple more pics:

The hall between the control room and Live room which has the mic locker and other stuff

Nice!

Machine room

How did you build out the ceiling? what did that cost?

 

[Talldog]

Since it was a third floor I just ripped out the flat ceiling and followed the roof joists up to a peak. Not a lot of cost since I did it myself. Probably $70 in materials.

AWESOME!

love that tape recorder and the atmosphere of the studio is very comfortable, judging by the photos.

Hey Ethan. I've got the case that holds the rec/play cards. Cards are gone. Heavy as shit (a lot of shit). If you want it you can pay shipping.

I did the same thing in my old attic too. Yours looks nicer though. But similar set up.
Looks great.
