Death By Darwin, 30 March 2010All right! After 6 months of reading through this forum and other research I think I am finally ready to start the design of my new studio, dubbed "The Playground of…
Death By Darwin, 7 April 2010Thanks for the reply, Yes those are only the outer walls, just for reference with what I am starting with, and to show the location of the proposed addition. I am…
Death By Darwin, 9 April 2010I talked to the building permit office yesterday and found out that since the addition will be attached to the detached garage and not the actual residence it doesn't…
Death By Darwin, 12 April 2010Andymel, Thanks for taking the time to look at this for me. As for the flanking through the footwall, I was kind of viewing having two walls sitting on top of the 8"…
Death By Darwin, 25 May 2010Hello again, So after much deliberation I have figured out my optimum size for the addition for my control room as far as layout, physical feasibility, and city…
Death By Darwin, 15 June 2010Update: So I have finalized my control room addition plans and submitted the drawings for the exterior of the addition (the only part the inspectors are going to get to…
Death By Darwin, 28 June 2010Update: So after almost a month waiting for the city to issue me a building permit I finally got it in my hands this Thursday! I could never have imagined I would have…
Death By Darwin, 1 July 2010So I still haven't managed to borrow a camera, but here is a basic wall layout for the studio, CR & LR. How does this look to you guys? internal treatment is not shown,…
Death By Darwin, 5 July 2010Thanks for the quick response stuart! I am still not quite sure how to draw this ray diagram. I haven't been able to find a spec on the dispersion angle of my specific…
Soundman2020, 7 July 2010Greater angles, and more rays. One often-mentioned "trick" for finding first reflection points in an already-finished room is for you to sit at the mix position while…
Death By Darwin, 7 July 2010If I keep increasing the angle, eventually will I not get reflections of the soffit on the other side? Will there not always be some rays that will reflect back to the…
Death By Darwin, 7 July 2010it looks to me that the only rays that will reflect back to the mix position would be from the very front edges of the windows only. I could rotate the control room, but…

Death By Darwin, 19 July 2010Ok, I drew the listening area and mirrored it as per Andre's suggestion. I didn't post the result as it was too small to really see the lines with the 700pixel limit,…
Death By Darwin, 20 July 2010It was in my first post, "The mixing desk would be at the end of the room with the window into the live room to the left of the desk. I was thinking of having a…
Soundman2020, 22 July 2010For a soffit mount???? :shock: The entire purpose of soffit mounting is to force the speaker to radiate into half-space, not full-space. Dispersion angle cannot possibly…
Death By Darwin, 29 July 2010Question for you guys... Would it be better to build the interior leaf of the control room rectangular and then build a cloth covered frame to make the 6deg splay and…
Soundman2020, 29 July 2010Nope. That won't work, since cloth is acoustically transparent and has practically no mass. The ONLY purpose of cloth in a studio is to hide the ugly treatment behind…
Death By Darwin, 3 August 2010I am talking about the side walls of the control room (splayed 6deg as per forums recommendation) not the soffits themselves, the soffits will be angled more around…
Death By Darwin, 18 August 2010Update for those who are interested... I have been spending every spare minute outside of work building the addition for my control room and it is coming along; slower…
Death By Darwin, 8 September 2010Sorry for the delay, I had borrowed a camera from a friend and took these pics, but he needed it and took it back before i could get the pics off it. Anyway here are a…
Death By Darwin, 5 October 2010So, some new pics of my progress... Got the exterior addition almost complete, including some nice cedar trim and fascia and stucco is finally finished. The final coat…
