I'm l...

Hi there, and Welcome to the Forum! :thu: Congratulations on your project! It sounds VERY nice. So here's just a few comments, in no particular order: - Foundation: Concrete slab (no floating floor planned) Great! You probably don't need a floating floor. Here's why: Floating your floor: How and why...

It’s been a while, but we finally managed to obtain a plot where we can build our (hopefully near future) home. The plot is just over 500m2 and there is enough room for a studio. Great! Congratulations! 500m2 sounds nice. For both a house and a studio, there should be enough room. But check your bu...

That's a classic spammer / spambot move by "HweltonR": Answering his own post! First he asks for advice, innocently, then answers his own question with supposedly expert advice and including a spam link, while also completely ignoring REAL expert advice given here ... Spammer warned, soon ...

Hi there, and Welcome to the forum! :thu: Absolutely this is the place to find help about your vocal booth! Feel free to start a thread in the "Design" section, letting us know where you are right now with the process, and what your goals are. Post some photos of the actual location, and d...

Hi there, And welcome to the forum! :thu: Sorry about the delay approving your post and responding: I had a major crash on my main notebook on Christmas day(!), where I had all my e-mail accounts, and it took a while to get it up and running again, and recover the backups... Technology is wonderful ...

7369 ...how critical is the ceiling compared to the walls when it comes to overall isolation? It's all one system: just as a chain is only as good as the weakest link, so to isolation is only as good as the worst part. If the ceiling has the least isolation, then that's basically all the isolation ...

7345 The 800cfm figure is for fresh air. The system will be adjustable in speed. The 800CFM is full capacity. I like to go overboard on these sorts of systems to avoid running things flat out. You certainly can do it that way if you want, but it does waste money. You only really need enough fresh a...

7343 Hey Stuart, Thanks so much for your advice. Many things to ponder here. Yes, you are correct the diagrams posted are first rough revisions. The monitoring positions were thrown in last minute so readers could get an idea of the planned orientation of the control room. Cool! Makes total sense. ...

7328 Haven't played some music yet but just wanted to double check. Ahh!!! That's the key... Try it out and see. As Glenn mentioned, having the axis intercept about a foot or more behind your head is what gives you the best results. I'm pretty sure you'll agree, once you try it out. In fact, if you...

Hi Braduv, and Welcome to the Forum! :D :thu: A few brief comments: The space will be used for mixng and mainly overdubbing. On occasions drums may be tracked in the small booth space. I'm amining for an STC of 60+ 60 dB isolation is a tall order. Do-able, but not simple. Also, you shouldn't really ...

Hi Mike, and Welcome to the forum! >thu> I want place my Kali in5 's That's an interesting speaker... I hadn't heard much about it, so I looked it up. The tweeter and mid are coaxial, which implies that the acoustic axis is going to be very much towards the center of that pair, but not necessarily r...

Hi Bill, and Welcome to the forum! :thu: 1) If the 8" air gap covers a wide frequency range (hopefully capturing the bass drum, <100 hz), does larger air gap 12 or 16 get more isolation, or is 8" a point of diminishing return? A larger air gap lowers the MSM resonant frequency, and therefo...

the engineer that I had hired to help evaluate my structure has lost her licence and is being sued for negligence related to concrete works in a bunch of commercial buildings. I've decided to hire another engineering firm :shock: Wow! Sounds like a really smart move to get a new engineer! Glad to h...
