jbassino, 19 July 2009Folks, Now that my studio is almost done. Im starting to design phase II, which involves a second control room plus a drum room, and a small vocal booth. Due to budget…
jbassino, 21 July 2009X, I'm sorry, but I seem not to understand quite good your question. Its just a normal inside out ceiling, built by modules by the width of a drywall panel. Each wall…
John Sayers, 21 July 2009The ceiling span is too great to do in one go weight wise, which is what xSpace is referring to, javier- I'd divide the span with a sturdy cross beam (8" x 3" ) and…
jbassino, 21 July 2009Ok cool (this kind of thing is waay out of my league here.. far from audio and acoustics) So if I put a 2x6 cross beam in the middle of the room, and then make…
xSpace, 21 July 2009Framing material doesn't know inside out walls, it just knows what it can support based on length and how it is spaced apart ;) The reason I asked twice if the…
jbassino, 24 July 2009Yes, it was John's design for my other recording room. It makes sense since you need to seal the top of the slat wall to be airtight so you just start the actual ceiling…

jbassino, 30 July 2009John, I was thinking on another design Instead of puting the 2 6x2 beams in the middle and then rectangular modules for each side; Puting the two beams at 1/3 of the…
jbassino, 12 August 2009Some pickies.. maybe now people start looking in here :( :mrgreen: As you can se, concrete slab is done and we gained a lot of height (the ugly part of the wall) We…
jbassino, 3 October 2009Framing done Caulking done Elec conduits for lights and outlets done Snake conduits for two control rooms done (i'll put a video camera for my studio :mrgreen: ) Looking…
jbassino, 6 October 2009Urgent Question Since I did this room INSIDE OUT, and I plan to put stones on the back wall. I'll be creating a 3rd leaf because I need to install a flat surface (like…
Soundman2020, 6 October 2009I hate to say this, Javier, since I know how much work and money went into that wall, but I'd say that your best bet is cut the drywall off the outside of those studs,…
xSpace, 6 October 2009What you have to do is incorporate the framing into the stone, the look is what you are after. If may take a few attempts and it may take some more trim lumber, stain or…
jbassino, 6 October 2009Thanks for the advices guys! Honestly, I don't mind the inside out absorption in that wall, i just fucked it up in the first place. because I thought we were going to…

Soundman2020, 7 October 2009Might be a dumb suggestion, but maybe you could do the biggest "beefing up" job ever: adding about six additional layers of drywall inserted between the studs will get…
jbassino, 7 October 2009Stu. Hmmmm. I already know my partner's answer "i rather have the 3rd leaf" :lol: Actually, how bad could it be? What If I put stones leaving a gap , like making a slot…
Soundman2020, 7 October 2009Unfortunately, it won't. The dimensions of the slots and slats are critical. Each slot is basically a tuned Helmholtz resonator, so if you change the thickness of the…
jbassino, 8 October 2009More pics.. I think we are going to put the stones anyway. We chose acoustics v/s isolation. DSC_0317.jpg DSC_0316.jpg Image not preserved: wool1.jpg Image not…
jbassino, 13 October 2009Ok you won! We are making big holes on the existing insideout wall, and then put new drywall (2 5/8" layers) on top of the studs.. then.. stones finally!!! Xspace, you…
jbassino, 14 October 2009You are talking to the stone installer :) OK, so basically, I should put a plastic sheet before the metal grid ! I dont have pictures, but we removed the inside out…
xSpace, 14 October 2009Plastic will deteriorate. If you guys would move over here where I live I can tell you what we are looking for :) It's a tar saturated heavy paper. Whatever product a…
Eric_Desart, 14 October 2009That looks like what we call "kleefcement" (Dutch), literally translated: "glue cement". This material is also used to fix gypsum boards directly to brick walls (with…
jbassino, 23 October 2009Update! Stones are now on the wall!!! Finally. It was a PITA to install. because we used real stones, cut into irregular sizes, so triying to lay them on the wall in a…

jbassino, 30 October 2009Thanks Stu! I don't know yet! Very dry so far :| But there is one slot wall left to be finished, plus we'll put some hard surfaces on the ceiling as well, like a chess…
jbassino, 13 November 2009More progress There's just one glass to install and we are ready to record drums Later I'll install the video camera and have to buy a large LCD screen to watch the…
jbassino, 17 November 2009The room sounds very good! I'll post clips soon! Very bright, controlled, short decay. It sounds "safe", However, I put a room mike in the hallway with the door opened…
jbassino, 23 November 2009Guys, Lets say I'm not convinced with the sound of this room (i just recorded drums for an album this weekend there) and I want to make it more "alive" Any ideas?…
jbassino, 29 November 2009Thanks! Yes. I still think it sounds too dry for the % of absorption it has (practically one wall, and half of ceiling) I might try placing some timber sheets over the…
jbassino, 4 December 2009Good and bad news! Good are that today I got one of the best drum sounds ive ever got! Just by placing that room mike outside the room, inside the unfinished vocal room…
