In my experience they are no worse than the effect a red recording light seems to have.

New build small size high isolation project

Sorry to hear you have Covid, Tom.Hopefully it will not get any worse than it is. That sounds like great news about the HVAC company, your plans and the possibility of a full month with help. Here's looking forward to reading about how it all goes. In the meantime, feel free to bounce ideas off othe...

Scott, have a look at and read about the linoleum floor in my studio, which is the first half of post 192 . The skim coating (follow the link to the product) was because our floor was not perfectly flat, something it needed to be. This product will mean that you will not need the product you mention...

Scott, check with the company that will lay the linoleum floor. They will know whether an underlay can be used or not. If you can use it, make sure it is glued down, not just loose-laid.

The electrician completed the wiring for the lighting. Here are lights that didn't work before.

This will give us an opportunity to check how much sound escapes from the st...

During the first lockdown I paid 90€ per sheet of 18mm plywood (my plans say 19mm but I can only find 18mm in Slovakia). I see you are paying 73€ so it looks like prices are slowly recovering.

Small control room design mk2

4619 ... however before soffits there was quite a peak there so one bad thing has been replaced with another. It might be that the previous peak that was a problem was strong enough to mask a lesser problem such that now that the previous peak has been dealt with the lesser problem is noticeable. P...

That is good news and lovely photos about the progress on your place. The price of wood shot up dramatically during the Covid lockdowns because fewer workers meant fewer trees felled and processed. I was speaking with a friend yesterday who works in the building industry, saying I wasn't sure whethe...

Which room to choose?

Hello Krakadon and welcome. Symmetry from the listening position forward is important in a control room so I suggest using your smaller room as the control room and the larger room as the live room, where the room's shape will give a palette of acoustic opportunities because symmetry in a live room ...

Stand alone “room in a room” studio build ORANGE NSW Australia

4574 3. I haven’t closed my mind to the outer layer being 1 layer of structafloor and one of mdf or 16mm drywall but structafloor is cheaper per m2; and MDF in an outer wall rings an alarm bell in my head. Only marginally less dense is OSB at 640kg/m 3 compared with MDF at 720kg/m 3 . OSB will with...

There is no way you could hammer the floor boards without damaging them so such a tool is essential. With so much scrap wood to hand I made a wooden version from plywood. By the end of the job it had partially disintegrated so a steel one would be better.

The floors have been a slow job, 20 days spread over almost 3 months. Continuing from the photos in post 175, the flooring installer came and said the self-levelling cement wasn't level enough so we had to put another layer on top.
