Pequod, have a look at posts 16, 17 (especially post 17 from Stuart), 18 and 19, part of posts 20 and 23 and then post 48 is where the HVAC company came and installed the units and got it working. I could have just reposted the relevant photos but reading the text will help explain the details. Ask ...

4525 ... fill the entire closet which is 25" deep, I can get another 4-5 inches or so at the door frame if its worth doing. I was also learning more about "hanger bass traps" ... Any ideas here? I had a 27" deep rear wall bass trap using hangers (which were actually stands in my...

4516 I know John is also a fan of Zero Loop Area wiring, where you run the high voltage conduit and audio wiring/conduit close together for as long as possible. I don't recall if you mentioned him having you do that or not. I haven't got to that point yet but will do soon, and yes, you understand J...

Sam, the word probably rings some alarm bells with me. Just make sure you don't do something before you are certain of what your plans ...

Thanks, Glenn. 1. So, no we are not using home runs as the mains is planned to the first panel and then on to the second panel. However, I added two extra mains cables through the walls so I could run one straight to the second panel, thereby having home runs, if that would be better. 2. Now I know ...

Hello Pequod and sorry about the long time it has taken me to reply to you. 4458 I'm wondering why you used that kind of duct? The two basic options are solid or soft (AKA flexi-) duct. As I understand what I have read, flexiduct disturbs the airflow inside the duct more than solid duct, whereas sol...

Dzień dobry, Jakub.

That door is a serious step forward. I would guess the 35dB isolation it provides is similar to the wall, so that is good to have achieved that level of isolation. Well done!

The fresh air hole is a good start to the next step. I look forward to seeing how that turns out.

Привет Dmitry, We all seem to be suffering the effect Covid shutdowns have had on the timber trade and others, with materials being much more expensive that they were 2 years ago. I just wanted to wish you all the best for the future continuation of your studio and hoping that your house will be all...

The edges of plywood will be more susceptible to soaking up water so make sure you protect the wood from the wet cement.

Hello Keith, I am not Glenn nor another professional but I would paint the areas of plywood that will be in contact with the new, wet concrete with a couple of coats of exterior paint as it protects exterior walls from rain and in your case it only needs to protect the wood until the concrete has dr...

Scott, as always it is a delight to see your studio and the progress being made. It is reassuring that the architect has been to inspect the place. I am so impressed with the location and the look and vibe of the place. It will be amazing when it is finished and operating as a studio. What is the pl...

So I can either have my studio and something over US$200,000 in cash or one turntable without the records, the rest of the stereo system nor the room to play it in? Thank you Stuart, that was an easy decision for a Monday morning!

4411 Steel gague would be 7,5cm or even 10cm for stronger support Again, Stuart will give you professional advice as it may depend on whether the booth's ceiling will rest its entire weight on the steel stud walls which will probably require the 10cm load-bearing studs or whether you will use ceili...

Zdravo bivis,

is this what you want to build - with the yellow area as the vocal booth and the green area as an ordinary office space?

4378 Do you have any plans, blueprints, step by step procedures at hand? Hello bivis, I have plans that the studio designer I hired designed after I had given him the dimensions of my room, details of the building, the external noises and their sources and we discussed what use the room needed to b...
