stunning, D! how does it sound ;) ?
It sounds really nice :D !!!
D, I was just reading your whole topic again and am really impressed by the speed this whole project was build. I didn't see any pix or text about your "team", could you introduce it to us? How come you build so quick?! darn! I got a few questions like; (again) where are you (other) bass absorbers? have you sound-checked your room? (where's the graph), did you use Backer-Rod? What type/brand, and what about sealant? Just some basic stuff. Looking forward for the grand opening, I hope to be there. It's just a 15min drive so there's no excuse :)
Hey man Let me intreduce the team. on the pic you can see us, on the left is pieter my business partner and I'm the one on the right. About the building speed, we've bin building non stop 5/6 days a week from 1 sept. Next to that pieter his father helped out a lot, he knows electrics and instalation. About the bass trap, right now the whole backwaal of the control room is bass trap. This is working out pretty wel. We did some testing with some cheap messuring mic's. We will do measurments with beter equitment in the near future. But for now this will do just fine. see you on the opening :D

aaaah! WD I knew it was you!! (you know who I am ;) ) haha, nu kom ik zeker langs. Perhaps I'll bring Rudy Land too ;) btw, it looks like your monitors are placed too low.... they shoot beneath your ears :(
Yeah I know you hahahahaha Bring rudy I already invited him. About the monitors, its because of the way the picture was taken. They are at the right hight.
Just went to the grand opening of WD's new, pro-tools based, studio. The place looks awesome, nice and clean. Hope you get lotsa records done there! Great built guys!
