let me see your studio!

What's the raised area with you monitors on made from? I want to do something similar when I get my new desk.

This is an Ikea desk that I modified. I used long 1/4" bolts and 3/4 " pvc pipe to make the shelf.

Ahh cool. The desk I'm looking at is pretty similar (and from Ikea) so that sounds like a good solution

Some nice eye candy in this thread.

You got some nice stuff in there...Langevin Dual Vocal, nice Lucid converters. Cool.

Just an update on my humble space. I am building a new rack unit for my desk in a couple weeks. I'll post pictures of that when it's finished.

Enjoy:

Why do you use your mixer pres over your firepod's? That's one good thing about the firepod...

What's the blue stuff on the walls? How soundproof is it? Is it expensive?

I had everything set up like that (through the mixer) to create a massive headphone mix for a jam session. I wasn't worried about the actual recording, I just wanted everyone to be able to hear themselves in their own mix. That was the most efficient way I could think of.

The blue stuff on the walls is not soundproof at all. It's a fire resistant rubber foam material that I found at Costco pretty cheap. I did notice a small difference in the upper frequency ranges of the room, but it's more for fun than anything else.

There's a lot in this forum about sound"proofing" and acoustics. Read, read, read, before you buy anything.

Diddo.

I was just having some fun. I wasn't looking for anything permanent yet.

Yeah it does look fun . Just letting mrneil2 know.

Hey all, I've finally finished my mock-ups. I'd love to hear your thoughts or ideas on improving isolation in voice booth...

Regarding the colours...Orange is drywall, Dark green is insulation and yellow is some kind of insulation that looked a couple of inches thick and had some rigidity to it.

NOTE: there is no drywall on any wall surface that faces the voice booth or on the exterior wall surfaces of the voice booth itself.

You'll get a better response if you start a new thread with your query--this is just a old long thread where folks post pics of there studios--not where they go for help. There's lots of knowledgeable studio/building guys around here, so if you start a new thread with this post in the Studio Building forum--you'll get some input.

Hi jinglesmountjoy. Looks good. I see a couple of things, but I need another view. Can you email me the Sketchup file. Click on my name and theres a place to email me. Mainly 3 issues. The door details, the cieling details at the partition wall, and the plenum. The yellow stuff should be Owens Corning 703. However, whereever you have partitions in the box made of these, but they need a solid boundary as well, as sound will travel right through partitions made of rigid fiberglass. Afterall, thats how they absorb sound....they are NOT Transmission Loss boundarys. They need a solid boundary where particle velocity is zero.

What kind of board?

the one in the picture is a Mackie 16x8x2. I replaced it with an A&H GL2400/24. Not as studio friendly as the Mackie was, more of a live board, but a whole bunch more reliable. I'm figuring out routing workarounds as I go.
