Stand alone “room in a room” studio build ORANGE NSW Australia
3786 My view on the C-section steel columns Hello Andrew. I wanted the quote to include the two images that followed but have lost the knack. I am unsure but it looks to me as though everything has been really well planned out except for what looks to me like both the outer and inner walls of your ...

Attic Shaped Studio
One of the amazing thing about studios, cinemas and other acoustically treated places is someone looks at a wall or a vent and has little idea of quite how much planning, measuring and labour went in to give it such a great, quiet sound.

3882 Another way of introducing reflections is with wooden slats. If you look at jhbrandt.net and click on resources at the top, then look for the section entitled Drawings! John publishes his plans for slatted traps which may be worth looking at. John uses a repeating single size slat and gap. Whi...

3861 No idea if there is an equivalent in Logic, but in Reaper there is a specific place for monitor FX. They only go to the monitor output, and are not included when bouncing. I am a Logic user and don't believe Logic has this, possibly because Logic is very much studio software. Programs that aim...

3873 When properly installed I will use flex duct to connect the silencer to the filter box so they are acoustically decoupled. You are demonstrating how thorough you are with small but important details, not just on this connection but throughout your whole studio, as you have been from the start....

3852 I know this sounds like the opening of a joke, but how many people does it take to hang the cloud? Hi Paul, that is a good question. I came to realise that the answer I was looking for is to repeat what I did with the hexagons. I started with a central core of three hexagons, like this: LP1403...

Exactly; they open the sides of the cloud to increase the effective absorbant area.

I understand; I felt the same doing my insulation-filled drop ceiling, pushing insulation up into a space above my head.garethmetcalf wrote:Qr Bbpost... working on the hangers. Of all the jobs I’ve done this has been one of the worst... continually getting covered in fibreglass.

For what feels like a lot of work I have little to show for it. Working out where all the hooks that will hold the cloud need to be and putting them in place meant I could finally finish the drop ceiling - hurrah! The 4 boards that will be part of the cloud and will enable it to hang from the ceilin...

Ron, I have yet to study REW so you are further down that road than I am. If no one here feels expert enough to advise you I would suggest looking up akebrake and thethrillfactor on gearspace.com as they seem able to understand REW and diagnose why problems are likely to be occuring. I still have yo...

Manufacturers of wooden musical instruments - I have researched mainly guitars and pianos - should ideally have around 45% relative humidity. I have watched my hygrometer in recent years and see it bottom out over the winter at around 35% and peak in the summer around 80%. Geography is important. Sl...

You need a shelf of some sort every couple of layers. I used plaster's mesh stapled to the frame but string or a wooden batten would do.

Because they are thicker traps, a lower GFR is better. In plain English, use soft and fluffy rolls of insulation rather than denser slabs.howiedrum wrote:Qr BbpostWhat do you usually stuff your Superchunk bass traps with?

Yes, Dave, you got it. A mini-split AC conditions the air it draws in, air from the room. That's why you would ideally place an AC near where the ventilation is pumping fresh air into the room. My studio is an example of this so feel free to have a look at the last photo in post 109 of my build topi...
