let me see your studio!

Yes the wall is floating on the carpet, they're non load bearing so I attached them to the existing structure for the iso/vocal room.
The outer wall of the mixing room is completely decoupled from the inside wall (blue wall). The same outer wall is also finished in a slat method with each face designed to direct any sound waves downwards into the pile.

Good thought on the vents, however they are just to bleed air between the unfinished and finished sides of the basement.

did some basic cleanup work last night to allow for practice tomorrow night

 

[ShanPeyton]

Looks like such a fun place to play!

 

[MoonJr]

thank you! That was my goal. To create a place where creativity happens and fun is had in the process.

 

[Btyre2013]

is that a skyline diffusor on the ceiling ? looks interesting

 

[MoonJr]

yes it is, I've got them above the drums as well. They make quite a difference.

Here is a "cross section" shot of the decoupled wall:

Had to get a kit set up for practice tonight:

 

[Btyre2013]

cool, I like the diffusion, and the way they are circular blocks not square

 

[Thaddeus]

Here's my little space. I just bought a steel & glass desk at Menard's for 79 bucks today, it's a lot nicer than the dresser everything was stacked on top of before. The knobs on the EQ got all kerfluffled while everything was moving, so ignore them. I know where they belong, just haven't moved them back.

Cool floor! Looks cozy. I have that same space heater.

 

[Thaddeus]

Yeah, the floor looks cool, but it gives off random CREAK noises which can spoil an otherwise good take. Kind of like having a cell phone with you in the studio and forgetting to mute it.

We work with what we're given...

Some nice recording spaces here. Some are REALLY nice.

What's up with the lava lamp revival, though? WOW. Gave that up years ago, along with all the stuff that went with them.

I've got 2 of those for the extra bedrooms that don't have built-in radiators!

Sorry, your studio won't produce good music until you get one!

If you don't have one and having a lot of acoustics, you may want to look into a humidifier. Keep that wood from drying out.

I always think that, too, when I see acoustics hanging on the wall.

 

[RFR]

Does that mean a lava lamp is an essential piece of gear??

I guess my career is done then.

Lava lamps can dry out acoustics?

Oh, wait! you meant the HEATER!!!

Every shoppping mall has a Spencer Gifts, save up your $17 and get one!

 

[BroKen_H]

Do it. Do it. You know you want one! Just go ahead and GET it.

What's funny is I don't have a lava lamp. Mine looks like THIS
Hey, mood lighting is what it is. It's lights to create a mood.
I just use it to relax the feel of the room when I'm mixing!
Others may add whatever relaxant they feel appropriate
But this was a one-time $25 purchase, whereas a 6 pack of beer every time you do mixing would be much more expensive after a while...

 

[minerman]

Ok, not much of a studio, but this is where I'll be doing my recording/mixing, just bought a house, & set my stuff up in one of the spare rooms (it was actually a big reason I bought the place...to have a dedicated music room...)...I'm looking into some acoustic treatment, but $$$ is gonna be a little tighter than before, until I get squared away on the bills again...Should ease up in a couple months, & by then I should know what route I'm gonna go with the treatment for this room...

I've got a set of e-drums on the way that I'll most likely set up in the corner across from the ISO cab, when they arrive & I get 'em set up, I'll take another pic or two...But for now, here's how the new room looks:



I'm actually really happy with it, I can crank my amps to my heart's content most of the time (can't do it late at night obviously), & this place is mine....

There are some great looking rooms/studios on here, & I know mine isn't even in the same league, but again, I'm really happy with it, because it's mine.....
