  • jeroenmuller, 10 January 2009A few pictures with in total 300 meters (984 feet) of tape on the floor :-) This is something what everybody should do when building a studio. This showed me exactly…
  • jeroenmuller, 11 January 2009Hi all, Thanks for the reply's, i'll quickly give an answer to some quiestions: @Addni: What about kitchen/bathroom ? and do you plan on having a lounge by the entrance…
  • jeroenmuller, 13 January 2009Well, the building materials are ordered and Thursday they will be delivered. So the official build starts next monday. I'm planning to post pictures every day. Just for…

  • jeroenmuller, 13 January 2009The company's owner is a good friend of mine, and I'll be there to educate them as they work on the construction. We both read the great book "building studios like the…

  • jeroenmuller, 13 January 2009This is the only way to keep some space between the outside windows and to keep space for the HAVC channels. The place where you see this three way problem wall it is…
  • jeroenmuller, 19 January 2009Haha, "year notification", :D I'll hope it all be finished in 2009. But, maybe you're right,... probably I should take an extra month time,... So last Friday (a part of)…

  • jeroenmuller, 23 January 2009Today, the first building day. We started with the back wall behind the vocal & drum booth. The outher wall gets extra isolation, because of thin wall on the outside. In…
  • jeroenmuller, 24 January 2009Well if the outside wall was a solid brick wall then I would go for the double leaf construction. But the outside wall is not made of brick (as you can see on previous…

  • jeroenmuller, 5 February 2009So here i'm back again,... It took a while, because I have to admit, working, building a studio, a little bit of sleep and posting on the forum doesn't fit in a 24 hour…

  • jeroenmuller, 14 February 2009I meant by testing that I'll do some measurements and see if the results are bad or good. Of course there are people who know it better and do have more experience in…
  • Soundman2020, 14 February 2009Not necessarily: Nature can be pretty noisy too. Thunder, hail, heavy rain, even wind can make plenty of noise, making it necessary to isolate just as much as in the…
