cambastudios, 17 September 2012Stuart, thanks so much for the quick reply. I originally didn't see where I could add my location. That has been fixed:) I understand that the space is not ideal, I am…
Soundman2020, 17 September 2012Hi again, Greg. Yup! That was it! :) OK, I have a bit more time right now, so let me break it down a bit: Acoustic or electric? Acoustic drums are the loudest of all…

cambastudios, 25 January 2013Hey Stuart, I have started my studio build. I think I will be using the pink R-30 insulation in my room within a room walls and ceiling instead of mineral wool. Is this…
