Farmhouse home studio construction

Pics as I promised! Pic 1. Cables and connectors waiting for soldering. Pic 2. Mic panel B. Opposite side of my control room left wall. I can now easily use rest of my house as a tracking room :) Pic 3. Liveroom main mic panel and xlr connectors. Pics 4 and 5. Mixer wiring. Pics 6 and 7. Guitar recording setup. Cabinet is miked at the liveroom and the amp is in the control room connected via speaker cable. Pic 8. Picture of the finished control room. :D Now it's time to continue my liveroom construction :twisted: -Janne

Liveroom construction continued... Pics 1-4. Absorbtion wall insulation and ceiling insulation done. Ceiling electrics done. Pics 5-7. Cloth streching and stapling stapling staping... Pics 8-9. Spotlights wired. What next: speakers on the ceiling, couple of wood trims, air vents and ceiling is done :D

wow, great progress and cool space but Janne, why didn't you use a foil for the ceiling? The rockwool will trickle trough the fabric caused by bass from the ceiling :horse:

Yeah that's a good point, but if I'd used plastic foil before the fabric then I'll end up with two vapor barriers on my ceiling... I though that if I use thicker molton fabric Weight: 300g per sq/mtr. that might keep most of the rockwool dust away from the air..

Update! Pics 1-5. Soldering the mic panels. Pic 6. Speakers mounted to the ceiling. Pic 7. Speaker testing with Drive by Truckers. Working like a dream :D Pic 8. Hangers installed in the corner trap. Very noticable effect with the speakers boomyness!! They are really working :D Pics 9-11. Ceiling done! Last pic. Absorbtive wall done, except the wood trims. More to come soon!!

Liveroom construction continues... Pics 1-4. Back walls slot resonator construction. I put a layer of plywood on top of the resonator to seal it's cavity properly. Cavity is filled completely with insulation. Black cloth in front. Pics 5-6. Side walls slot resonator construction. Principle is the same that back wall resonator. Pics 7-9. Slats attached in place with finishing nails. Pattern and color shades are same that in my control room. Pics 10-11. My wife made nice sign for my studio :D I'm nearly finished :!: Still have to make last slot resonator, mouldings, trims etc.

Wow Janne, you are moving at a vertiginous speed. You'll be done in no time ! Great job man !

Thanks a lot Simo :D Mostly have time only the weekends to build my studio, but I think I'm finished when this summer ends. And that's somewhere in september in Finland :) Now I'm taking two week vacation and forget all the day job routine, resonators and tools :shot:

WOW! over 10 000 views so far :D I've finally finished the construction :yahoo: ..well.. few small things to do here and there but 99.9% finished! BIG thanks to everyone who has helped me during the desing and construction process!! Especially all the moderators: Stuart, Brien (XSpace), Glenn!! And of course John Sayers :D This have been wonderful journey and I've learnded a lot about acoustics and studio construction! Here are couple pics of finished liveroom: -janne

Just purchased Cubase 6 and brand new audio interface Universal Audio Apollo Duo :) Although, not installed because of UA haven't released win 7 drivers yet... Maybe later this year.
