let me see your studio!

I do know about those methods, I had thought that they required a greater distance between the transducers.

here's my new basement space:

Looking on the 2-nd photo I suppose that you must have a problem with boomy basses in your recordings.

You have there acoustic treatment solving only high and mid range, nothing for basses. Consider any Rockwool based bass traps placed to the corners of the room.

Otherwise it is a nice place to work.

i actually dont have much trouble with boomy basses, but I am planning on adding a lot of treatment, I just barely moved into the space, you can see from the pics there still no trim around the doors or windows or the baseboards... I'll be looking on here for bass absorber plans, once I finish paying off the construction materials, but all of the walls have soundboard behind them, and the rounded corners are packed with 4 layers of R-23
so that helps some.

I just completed my new Studio which I built. Was the first thing I ever built, but it turned out pretty nice. It's 1150 Sq Feet - 2 Story Studio.

Studio First Floor has:
Control Room
Live Band Room
Isolation Room
Mic Closet
1st Floor Lounge Area/Bar
Restroom

Studio Second Floor has:
Huge Lounge / Pro Tools Mixdown Area

I just built this studio because recording is a hobbie of mine, but since I just added a couple of new GRACE Mic Pres, and the Studio turned out pretty nice, I might think about renting out the space, or bringing some clients in and make a small business out of it.

The building was built as close as I could build it to "Studio" Specs as far as the whole building being exterior double sheeted, having double drywall on the walls with Green Glue in between each of the sheets, having the Live Room TOTALLY decoupled from the rest of the building and not touching anywhere, splayed ceilings, high ceilings, double windows, double doors, etc etc etc...and the list goes on.

Anyway, I just got my Certificate of Occupancy this Saturday in the mail. It's officially done (for the most part)

Here are some pics....enjoy:

Thanks

Outstanding!

Very Nice indeed. I really enjoyed looking at your job, good luck with getting your clients and wish you all the luck in the world in your recording projects.

Newatthis...

You don't know anyone who likes trying to sing Whitesnake and Iron Maiden tunes do you?

 

[Drakaland]

That place is way nicer than my entire house.

 

[newatthis]

Newatthis...

You don't know anyone who likes trying to sing Whitesnake and Iron Maiden tunes do you?

LOL....actually one of my recent band mates played with the drummer from Iron Maiden I do believe. lol But yes, I am a keyboard whacker, as you can tell from the pics, I have 12 synths Midi'd up,,,,and along with that obviously goes the 80's big hair rock..LOL

Peace
AJ

 

[newatthis]

Thanks Drakaland..

Now I guess I better learn how to record and engineer,,,huh?? Actually I built this just to play around in as a hobbie, but was talking to a pro engie the other day, he saw the place and he almost has me convinced to be a "passive owner" of the Studio and rent it out. he will rent it, and record in it, and I will just collect the $$$$.

So that might be the direction I go to. We will see.

Naw.. not that... just the studio configuration with the mixing desk in the corner next to doors kinda reminded me of the layout in this video.

Too Funny

Looking at it again, I see you have a window on the side.

 

[newatthis]

Now THATs funny. It just amazes me how that one guy can just sit there without losing it. I'd be on the floor.

 

[gullfo]

he's a paying customer. you'd be amazed what you can do when they're paying ;-) plus he'll fix it with some vocal effects and it'll sound just like Britney.

 

[pandamonk]

You do realise the guy is deaf!!! Still funny though

 

[pandamonk]

Now THATs funny. It just amazes me how that one guy can just sit there without losing it. I'd be on the floor.

He loses it in the next video. He's facing the wall and shaking with laughter.

 

[pandamonk]

From that last video i found this guy.

 

[Obi-Wan zenabI]

From that last video i found this guy.

What's the best mic for a manualist?

I think that the SW Cantina Song and Bohemian Rhapsody are also must-sees...


Actually, you can see a little black condenser that runs from his black wristband to right behind his hands. I wonder if he's monitoring the mic input, too.
