I just want to say that J is doing it right and I want to applaud him for it. He has blown a ton of dough on this thing already, but I know it will pay him back in spades... |

Are walls parallel? If they are what was the workaround. |

First off I would like to applaud you J. I believe you are totally making the right decision, ie pro tools and this room. It looks sweet and im sure with brad behind you its going to sound great, making your mixes that much better! |

An1) Post some more photos J. Hall. the people are waiting to see what your new kick ass room will look like and sound like. 2) post some more photos! |

3) how does it sound? Im really hoping its good! |
4) how loud is it else where in the house? I live in an apt. currently and do all my mixing in it. How loud it is to everyone else is important to me, granted it is your house and you might not have to worry about that as much I do but im sure your wife and kid will mind if it is to loud.

well.....i don't know that just yet either
but my band used to practice down there before the renovation (look at picture number 1 in the old recpit for details)
no acoustic treatments at all, and there was only a drop ceiling
my band is REALLY loud......we would shake the enitre first floor of the house, my wife could escape by going up to the bedrooms on the second floor, she said it wasn't bad at all up there and in the back bedroom it was pretty much non-existent.
mixing won't be nearly as loud and i put up two layers of gyp. on the ceiling with R-19 behind it (R-19 will only give me about 3dB of reduction......i did it cause it was cheap and easy and figured it was the right way to do it.
the first level of my house is all hardwood floors (built in 1947) all wood construction. so basically, my entire first floor acts as a giant diaphram no matter what i do to the ceiling in the basement.
we'll see what happens
the only real issue is mxing late at night after my son goes to bed....shouldn't be a problem.

5) related to 3, how do the diffuser and cloud work, they look great from what I have seen they seem pretty easy to make.
this is simple.....the diffusors are not unique, but are a "randomly fine tuned" so to speak
instead of using a solid piece of plywood and just reflecting sound to the back wall, we used pegboard. basically, the size of the hole dictates what frequencies will be absorded by it. (703 is directly behind the pegboard, the whole thing is wrapped in acoustically transperant fabric for looks only)
from there, B-rad had me drill, again randomly, different size holes (i used hole saws and a drill) on each panel. largest hole i cut was 2 1/4" i believe
the idea is to absorb random frequencies and to reflect random....

7) last one, what beer you been drinking, sam smith again? Here it has been summit epa, bells oberon and anchor summer!
i drank a lot of pacific NW beer while in seattle. lots of ales. i had a few really nice stouts as well
at home, i've been so busy in the studio and getting things done i haven't had much time to try new beers
boddington's has been a staple
during the "harder" construction phase of the build out (seems like a year ago) we were drinking a lot of new castle.

2) Why is one of your wall mounted absorption panels L-shaped? |

i'm tired of moving those racks around, they don't look good in a fixed install, and i don't even have a vehicle to move them...... <snip> |

i'm sure you aren't glad you need to look, and buy new monitors, but at least you now have a space that revealed more problem areas. |
