Rankus, the conduits that you see in the floor are for electrical only. I am running all audio cables overhead in 4" conduits. |

I won't call any names but someone told me when I first started thinking about expanding my home studio that whatever amount I figured it was gonna cost to triple it. I thought he was joking. Playing guitar and recording music is the most relaxing thing that I have ever found, even when I'm stressing over a problem, in the end its still very rewarding. I go in my space and get lost for hours at a time and dont even get hungry.Dont know why I'm writing this. I guess its to convince myself that no matter how much all this costs and no matter how much hastle it is to get this up and going. I am finally building my dream. And thank you guys for all the help. |

Any one know a good place to get quality wall panels? I want to put 8-10 Mic, a couple instrument and headphone jacks. |

I'm planning on putting one of these under the drums to further isolate the low frequencies. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/HoverDeck64/ My room is small, I'm gonna have to try and get it as neutral as possible. |

Thanks Jet OK, now the insulation is finally going in, I'm using mostly Ultratouch. |

Would having the monitors so far above ear level be a problem? BTW, that's a nice 1998-era Mac G3/300 in that desk. I have held on to mine hoping that someday I'll score a Lexicon NuVerb card. |

What would be the best colour to paint the Control Room window frame inside to help with light reflections.? I was thinking matt/flat black. Thanks, Clifford. |

Or flat gray. You see a lot of car dashboards this color... (I think about things like this for no particular reason lol) |

OK, I am getting really close. In fact I plan to start experimenting with miking the drums this weekend. Keep in mind that I have never recorded acoustic drums, should be interesting.My NT-5's arrived just in time and the Heil 40 has been waiting for a couple months. I have been told that I need to put up more pictures. The wife got a nice new Nikon for her birthday so we shall work on that. The engineer was doing some final soldering last night and we plan to get together again tonight to install Tranzport and to reinstall my plug-ins. The Furman headphone system is up and running perfectly and the Mac/Leopard has been flawless.(knock wood) |

Messing around and planning with all them new toys is great fun. Just watch out for that intense void of emotion and the depressive emptiness that follows once it's all actually done and done and up and working. No more new toys to plan for. No more setting stuff up. Be sure to fill that void with a lot of recording and writing of music instead! |

I rarely put moon gels, or tape, or pillows, or anything on or near a floor tom. Nothing but a stick. |

No eq, no moon gels...Good gawd that is a radical approach </humor> |
