mileskb, 23 January 2012Hello Everyone. I have been reading these forums and as this is my first post I hope properly took care of the few modest requests of our hosts and don't get spanked on…
mileskb, 23 January 2012Well I couldn't figure out how to use SketchUp, but I did figure out how to use this other tool called FloorPlanner. http://www.floorplanner.com/ While maybe not as…
mileskb, 23 January 2012So here's REV-1 with some air-space between the main rooms and also I added the elevation to the control-room/restroom/vocal booth area from the main and drum rooms.…
Soundman2020, 23 January 2012Miles, you are wasting a lot of space by cutting off the corners of your control room like that! Those rear corners are where your bass trapping should go, and the front…
mileskb, 23 January 2012Thanks, I really should decouple the control room thanks. Also the lost space is just my drawing skills... I was just reflecting (pun) the idea of not using a square…
mileskb, 24 January 2012Was looking for some input on this... I'm seriously considering dumping the drum booth, and here's why. My recording technique for drums is taken from the open style…
BriHar, 24 January 2012I think your ideas regarding the drum booth are valid. More and more musicians and vocalists are laying down their tracks right in the control room and the recording…
Soundman2020, 24 January 2012Exactly! The terminology is more marketing hype than actual defined technical terms. In reality, you could label a monitor whatever you want, and there's no real…
mileskb, 24 January 2012Maybe things have changed, or maybe I bought the hype... but "near-field" monitors essentially mean their pattern is designed to be used about 3-5 feet apart with the…
mileskb, 24 January 2012Ok, I just did a little research and according to Event's NEW manual online... they ARE supposed to be angled toward the listener, but still only 3-5 feet away, so I'm…
Soundman2020, 24 January 2012OK! "Mile, you're nuts!" :) (Sorry! Couldn't resist! :) ) Naah, you are not nuts. If that's the way you hear it, then that's the way you hear it! But if you have…
mileskb, 24 January 2012Well first... they were only separated about 3 feet and yes, actually they were pointed a little inward, maybe 30 degrees, but likely closer to 15. I agree at the wider…
BriHar, 25 January 2012Seems we're getting into details here. Suffice it to say, the general consensus views "Nearfield" as any configuration of speakers which minimizes the effects of the…
Soundman2020, 25 January 2012How very true! I think you could maybe propose a new name there: let's call them "HiCo" from now on: "High Coloration". :) You could probably say something similar about…
mileskb, 28 January 2012I agree, and I do so from experience. My last control room ended up being rather small. 7' x 7' yep a square. (pictures above). How I dealt with the myriad of issues…
