  • Gregdx7, 5 March 2013Hello to all, I have been planning to build a studio for a long time and finally getting pretty close. These forums have been an incredible resource and I cannot thank…
  • Soundman2020, 5 March 2013Hi Greg, and welcome to the forum! :) Sounds like you have a pretty good idea of what you want, and a good space to build it in. I like Lou's layout a lot, but I would…
  • Gregdx7, 5 March 2013Wow Stuart that was fast! Thanks for the great response: Is this the way you are speaking of? Even after reading so many posts and references, sometimes I think I only…
  • Gregdx7, 6 March 2013Thanks for the info Stuart! Here's my latest Sketchup mess-0f-a drawing. I'm sure no graphic artist! Sketchup has taken a lot of time just to get something out of it,…
  • Soundman2020, 8 March 2013The approach that matters most is the one recommended by the real experts, such as the ITU, the EBU, the AES, Dolby, and others. They all agree on this, so it's pretty…
  • Gregdx7, 3 April 2013Getting a bit closer here to starting, Stuart, here's the latest sketchup with the doors in and windows for the control room. Can't get Sketchup to do the doors or…

  • Gregdx7, 11 January 2014Here are a few construction photos to show where we are. I hate to keep rethinking my layout but I'm having difficulty deciding between a corner CR or straight CR. I…
  • Gregdx7, 23 January 2014Thanks for the response Stuart. Here is the one design that I keep coming back to. I guess the question would be, is the corner Control Room the best use of space? It is…
  • Soundman2020, 30 January 2014. It is good use of space, yes. It also has decent acoustics, and good sight-lines. Ummmm.... don't take this the wrong way, but I wold not give that job to an…
  • Gregdx7, 31 January 2014Hi Sam, I've actually been following your thread and copied your design as an example to follow as it looked like what I had in mind from an earlier idea I had. Things…
