Where is your studio located?

[thane1200]

Sad days ahead

So today I'm starting the painful process of dismantling my studio setup for the move.

It may be the entire winter before I can set it ALL back up again.

In my basement between a forced air furnace and hot water heater. There is a radon removal pipe that runs right up through the workstation that I built to hold the mixer, machine, monitors, drum machine, etc etc etc. Patch bay, compressor and all other external effects are in a modified piece of furniture that has been converted to a rack gear holder and general crap station and sits at my left perpendicular to the console. My piano is on a stage stand behind me (while facing the console). As long as I turn off the furnace, dehumidifier, telephone, television and radon fan, I can get great sound from things mic'd up in the room. I think it's all the crap piled up aroung the room acting as baffles and sound wave diffusers. Did I forget to mention that I can't take too many deep breaths due to increasing radon levels when the removal system is off?

Mine is in a extra room in my apartment.. Nothing is set up.. Everything is thrown everywhere..

Inside a 24x40 steel building out in the woods. You'd never know it was there.

old garage that was attached to the house. fully converted into this....

 

[normalizer]

i was lucky enough to aquire the back room at my fathers office (he owns his own company)
so i use the big room (17ftx20ft) for my band to rehearse and it will be my live room when the studio is all up and running
and i use a storage closet (6ft x 7ft) for my control room... i know the control room is small.... but do you guys think i'll run into any problems?
im currently in the process of putting a window in between the 2 rooms and putting up this styrofoam stuff up thats supposed to soundproof a bit.. im gonna out studio foam (which i got for free from a television station i used to work at) on top of the styrofoam.. i hope thats enough to somewhat isolate my control room from my live room..., i plan to record drums

Now why you got to mess up a perfectly good thread with a shameless plug like that. heh heh

Actually your consoles look pretty nice, I may contact you when I'm down in Miami.

My house has a sunken den that I get to use for rehersal and recording. Its a work in progress, I'll post some pics sometime though.

Mine is housed in the corner of our basement, which also serves as our living room/den. Works great as long as I'm home alone.

I've got enough space to squeeze into an office chair in half of what used to be a baby's bedroom; most would consider it a poor walk in closet. The other half is my older daughter's jewelry making space. She has her act together better than me; you can find her stuff and mine lives under the piles of cables and papers and tax stuff and receipts from three years ago and dead gear. So I've got about 8' x 7' with a low slanting ceiling. Inside.

Outside, I've got most of my gear and my live rig in a detatched garage, taking up the space I used to use for cars and a garden tractor. It has to share space with my luthier stuff and eighteen years of "too good to throw away but not good enough to keep" kulch: Old bedframes (anyone want one? perfectly good. $0.25 to buy and forty bucks for shipping). Old bureaus - probably can be saved, but maybe not. There's a big carved sign I'm *supposed* to be restoring for a music school I'm involved with. There's the louder-than-hell air compressor right next to the big tub of old engine oil. There's a huge pile of lumber I moved inside after only three years outside, so it wouldn't weather. You get the picture.

But I'm in the process of moving the studio and the hand work / gluing stuff from the workshop to a spare bedroom downstairs - it might actually be a space to mix...

I took over the family room /den whcih serves as the "control room" and theres conveniently a bathroom off of it. There used to be an aquarium in the wall which was downsized to a smaller opening to make room for a door. The smaller opening is glassed (tilted plastic lam dual pane ) which looks into what used to be the garage (or most of it...) I put up a wall so the washing machine/dryer and sink were isolated and my recording didn't interfere with my wifes ' housekeeping regime (you don't wanna mess with that). The garage door is permanently disabled with a second wall in front of it. The side door to the outside semed like a good idea, but's it blocked by equipment now....

when I move to the next house.....

 

[OhSh1rt]

In a small dark 11x20 ft room in the basement, although being underground is good for the temperature, so I should be happy with that.

 

[tarnationsauce2]

The entire lower floor of my house is my studio.

 

[BentRabbit]

Dining room...

Basically just positioned my entertainment center to divide the living room/dining area (since our kitchen was big enough to also eat in)

The couch is pulsating in your signature rabbit!

Good use of the cabinet!
