let me see your studio!

[Arjosy]

I guess that I'm in need of a lava lamp for I see that in almost every shot of everyone's studio.

Not required. But I don't know why you would want to risk working without one.

 

[SouthSIDE Glen]

Who needs a lava lamp when you've equipped your studio with DirecTV, a 40" flat screen and an XBox 360?

G.

they are 2" but there are LENRD's behind them

Mmmmmm...they really need to be 4" even with the LNRD's behind them. Right now they're not doing much below 350Hz. I'd upgrade those to 4" panels and put the 2" panels on the ceiling or on reflection points.

When i recoop some funds ill do that, all tapped out right now. Thanks for the advice.

Here is my setup I do Voice Over work mainly but I do have a drum room next to this room. No pics of the drum room though.

 

[kcearl]

have you tried auralex?

Here is my setup I do Voice Over work

Hey Danimal33, ever visit this site? This page begins a VO Booth build.

ps...btw, I have a suggestion for you. Take the picture down on the rear wall and put a Polycylindrical diffuser up there. VERY easy to build and install. 2 cleats, 1 piece of 1/4" ply, bent and snapped into place.....VOILA..a Poly!

One other thing..I see you have some Auralux Corner chunks. If you ever remodel your studio, consider replacing those with SUPERCHUNKS of OC 703...they work much better than foam. Do a search on Superchunks. People are building them all around the world.

Wow. That's a lot of foam.

 

[dgvoiceovers]

Rick Thanks for the idea on the difuser makes sense. I am in the process of making some corner base traps. I have all that foam because I need this room pretty dead for VO work but I still get some boominess in here. I don't know why? I guess the bass traps will help because the foam ones I have are not doing to much. I have even switched to a Shure SM7B dynamic to try and get rid of some of the boominess and has helped. It is a great mic for MY Voice. I have a really Low Big Boomy Pushing voice already. I just need to tame to boominess in my room and I will be set then.

so much foam in this forum, i need more foam! and a lava lamp!

Of course it's boomy if you're right up on the mic (dynamic)...

You answered your own question! Foam doesn't kill low freq's. Yes some oc-703 or equivalent bass trapping will help you immensely.

I spend a lot of time here

Not a music setup, but works great for voiceover.

 

[Weasel9992]

Love it Dave. That is very cool.

Updated Studio Photos

Hi All,

I've been slowly building my workspace up over the years and am close to what I think is a fully functional home studio. There are some sound proofing items I'm still working on. I try to research things before I implement them into my space. My latest project was creating a keyboard slide for my desk. This totally allowed me to open up the room to add a seating area. My next project will be speaker stands. I upgraded to the KRK8's and my old stands are not working out with them. Here's a few photos of my updated space... let me know what you think and any ideas on sound isolation and room improvements are greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

 

[BeniRose]

When i recoop some funds ill do that, all tapped out right now. Thanks for the advice.

Before you do this, please record some A/B samples recording something with the 2 inch panels and the LENRD's VS a 4 inch panel. Not that I doubt Weasel's statement, I just know a lot of people on the internet like to be correct and think their way is the only way (4 inch panels or death!), so I'm curious to actually hear the difference (or see it on a meter reading).

So, how does one compare 2 inch panels and the LENRD's VS a 4 inch panel...if he doesn't HAVE the 4" panel in the first place..hmmmmm? After all, you said....BEFORE YOU DO THIS Furthermore, you would have to do FOUR tests. Record with only the 2" and Lenards, and play back with same. Record with 2" and Lenards, but playback with 4" and Lenards. Record with 4" and Lenards and play back with 4" and Lenards. And then, record with 4" and Lenards, and playback with 4" and Lenards...that is assuming this is all done in one room. Even then, monitor placement, engineering position and geometry, mic position, rear and side wall early reflection abatement...all have a bearing. Even using an ETF takes a qualified user to analyse whats going on too. Personally, I'd trust what LAB tests have shown. SUPERCHUNKS or double diagonal panels of 4" 703 have been proved superior. PERIOD.

Here's my bedroom studio. It's still a work-in-progress, but this is what I have so far! I make mostly alternative, rock, and reggae/ska in here, just to let you know what it's set up for. Enjoy!
