studioNorWay, 15 October 2013Greetings, this will be my first post on this great forum. I’m currently in the planning stage of my very-very small one-room guitar recording studio build in Tromso…
Soundman2020, 17 October 2013Hi "studioNorWay", welcome! :) Just a few general comments about your plan: Isolating a studio on an upper floor is not easy, but fortunately you don't need much…
studioNorWay, 21 October 2013Dear Simo and Stuart Thank you for taking the time to provide such a detailed response. Your explanation on various factors was very informative. I now understand that…
studioNorWay, 5 November 2013Hello again. Haven’t gotten any answer on my last post in a while now. Please let me know if I’m doing anything wrong with my posts. Anyhow here is an update. I have…
Soundman2020, 26 November 2013Wow! Another thread that slipped past me, without a response! :oops: You might want to consider the "drum riser" method, that both Glenn and Rod suggest. Basically, a…
studioNorWay, 29 October 2016Hello All Back again. Its been a while sins my last update due to some big renovation projects on my house that has taken alot of my time. But im now finally starting on…
studioNorWay, 29 January 2017I came over the other day a mini air condition system from mitsubishi. Its called VL-100U5-E. It has Airflow (m³/h) - Lo-Hi 61-106. One problem though is the sound level…
studioNorWay, 18 April 2017Question: Let me know if my studio thread is closed for comments or if I'm doing something wrong. I know its been a while sins I started this thread. Anyway here is an…
Soundman2020, 21 April 2017Excellent! Bigger = better! Did you check that with a room ratio calculator (mode calculator)? Does it pass? Is it inside the Bolt area? That's not an air conditioner!…
studioNorWay, 23 April 2017Thanks Stuart for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated Regarding the new room size I did not re-check calculations after building the room bigger. Kind of forgot…
studioNorWay, 3 April 2018After some delay I've finally now started installing the ventilation system. I ended up with two duct fans K125 EC (Ø125mm / 490 m3/h) connected to fiber glass inulated…
studioNorWay, 20 May 2018Im currently in the process of ordering the wall fabric. I have currently ordered some samples of FR701. Will this be the right way to go?.. And also is there anyone…

studioNorWay, 26 May 2018Started with my small ventilation system. Remains finishing the exhaust outlet and building the inspection hatch. Electrical has been pulled but will be connected along…
studioNorWay, 11 July 2018I am not an expert on drum riser so the description below is just what I went for. It will have to be up to the experts to explain the best option. My drum riser was…
studioNorWay, 12 August 2018Thanks Stuart. I have ordered all flooring materials. Will arrive in a few weeks or so. Meanwhile Im installing the double doors. Doors are fitted with a roller locking…
Gregwor, 13 August 2018Can you link us to the manufacturer's specs for those hinges? I don't like the idea that you only have 3 hinges per door. For any heavy doors, manufacturers typically…
studioNorWay, 15 August 2018Hi Gregwor. Thanks allot for taking the time to give feedback. I really appresiate it. I’ve attached a picture of the manufacture specification. Each hinge can handle a…
Gregwor, 15 August 2018Typically, on overall hinge specs like that, they are assuming you're using 3 hinges. So, I'd guess that 3 of your hinges TOGETHER will handle a door weighing 120 kg. As…
studioNorWay, 30 August 2018As soon as the flooring is done im going to start insulation walls. I was thinking I will finish of the insulation with plastic. This is to avoid the dust coming from…
studioNorWay, 19 September 2018This week’s update. Floor finished, all wall and ceiling frames and joints caulked and isolated. My fabric has finally arrived, electrical will connected and installed…
Gregwor, 19 September 2018With caulk everywhere, I doubt this is necessary, but it won't hurt to contain the fibres and dust. If you're referring to your walls, yes. For your floor, this won't do…
studioNorWay, 19 September 2018Hi Greg! Thanks for replying Yes, i ment the ceiling and the walls. Mostly for keeping the fibers in but also to make sure that the room doesnt sound to dead. I will use…

studioNorWay, 10 October 2018What kind of glass should I go for in the control room? I have contacted the local glass shop and he listed up different alternatives. I have attached the table he sent…
Gregwor, 11 October 2018You used two sheets of 1/2" drywall for your walls? If so, then your math is correct. You need at least 8.33mm LAMINATED glass for each leaf. I've never heard of…
studioNorWay, 26 November 2018New update. New Windows mounted on the outer leaf framing. Window casing built based on Stuarts suggestion in this post: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=21396 . Built as a unit with…
studioNorWay, 17 December 2018I have just done the first measurement of my room with the REW measurement tool. The measurement was done based on Stuarts description here:…
Soundman2020, 18 December 2018Great! :thu: Good choice. :thu: You did it exactly right. For being a first measurement, the data is excellent! Good job calibrating. The room is built "inside out",…
studioNorWay, 20 December 2018Thanks allot Stuart! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment! Yes!, the room is built "inside out", studs and joists are facing the room and all the stud bays…
studioNorWay, 29 December 2018Anyone?.. Is there anyone that can comment on my plans in regards to reatment of the room. As shown in my latest scetchup for my treatment planes:…
Gregwor, 29 December 2018I know this is probably not the answer you're looking for, but I'd highly suggest you read this book (be stoked that this link allows you to get it FREE!)…
studioNorWay, 30 December 2018Thanks Gregwor for commenting. You are somewhat correct. Your answer was expected but I was hoping that someone would "pass forward" their knowledge without me haven to…
Gregwor, 30 December 2018The author of the book is passing foward his knowledge with you having to take a degree in acoustics :D If you asked me to share my knowledge with you, I couldn't do a…
studioNorWay, 8 May 2019I’m finally back again after some time planning and discussions with Stuart for the next steps in regards of tuning my studio. I had engaged some hours from Stuart to…

studioNorWay, 4 November 2019Hi Greg I have been occupied with other stuff the last few weeks unfortunately. Back in business now though :yahoo: I have this week finished the last part of the…
studioNorWay, 14 November 2019Hi Dan Thanks for taking an interest :D Still working on the clouds. Here is som updated pics Image not preserved: IMG_7541.JPG Image not preserved: IMG_7545.JPG The…
studioNorWay, 17 November 2019Hi New update: :snack: Almost finished with the first front cloud. A few adjustments still needed. Also waiting for the last two lights that’s coming in the mail. I will…
studioNorWay, 18 November 2019Thanks Dan! :D As shown in previous posts the slot side walls are spaced timber. See the picture below. When it comes to the rational thinking and calculations we need…
studioNorWay, 18 November 2019Hi again Dan I see now on other posts that Stuart has left the building and will most likely not return anytime soon. I have attached some measurements of my slot wall…
studioNorWay, 17 December 2019New Updates. Missing lights installed. New computer build and the last back cloud mounted. Corner base trapps to go. :thu: Image not preserved: IMG_7645.JPG Image not…
studioNorWay, 28 December 2019Merry Christmas everyone :D New measurement done. The measurement was done based on description here: http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewt ... =3&t=21122 My gear…
Gregwor, 28 December 2019Your RT60 is very low (often living around 50ms). I understand your room is small but that seems extremely low now. And the <100Hz range seems to have really dropped off…
studioNorWay, 28 December 2019Find attached some measurement comparisons below. The first measurement is before the room treatment (flush mounted speakers, slots and celling clouds). Second…
studioNorWay, 1 January 2020So, regarding the low RT 60 let’s go in details of what has been done after first measurement. First. After the first measurement and before the room tuning started the…
Gregwor, 1 January 2020This is probably what totally screwed up your low end. The volume (area) of the speaker cabinet has now been drastically reduced which completely changes the performance…
studioNorWay, 2 January 2020Good point. Even though the amp itself takes a bit of space the concrete block takes a bit more. That could be the cause. I will take out the concrete block from one…
Waka, 2 January 2020As you can apply tension via the turnbuckles, you don't need to calculate. You just tighten until you get the correct deflection. Measure the height of the sorbathane…

studioNorWay, 3 January 2020Thanks Dan for taking the time to comment. I will do as you described. There will be no problem to compresse the sorbathane enough with turnbuckles as they are very…
studioNorWay, 3 January 2020Thanks Greg for checking. That is better news! I will remove the other one as well. Also, I have talked to Presonus teck. He stated: So, this means I have some issues…
studioNorWay, 3 January 2020I understand. I think I will use this year to investigate different speakers. Until then I will use the once I have. Anyway, I have an extra speaker (same kind) that has…
studioNorWay, 3 January 2020Ok, so did the string trick. - measured the distance from the acoustic axis of myspeaker to the tip of my measurement mic - added the distance I gave you to that…
Gregwor, 3 January 2020You did the string trick incorrectly. Ill try to explain it here but I'm the first to admit that I'm horrible at explaining things! - tape the string to the speaker as…
Waka, 4 January 2020Yes, the 15-20% deflection is generally the optimum recommended by sorbathane for the best vibration damping. Most of the adjustments on the speakers will be "set and…
Gregwor, 4 January 2020It is handy to wall mount the amp. Typically if there is a problem with a speaker, it is either the power amp or a driver (speaker). Having the amp accessible and the…
studioNorWay, 4 January 2020Ok, so I have done the string trick for the second time. Hopefully I’ve done it correctly this time. Let me know if I’ve missed something. It seems that I have…
studioNorWay, 5 January 2020Thanks Greg! :D Side wall noted. Naice!:) I will remeasure with a slab of insulation horizontally across the slats at the mix height. I have already started the process…
studioNorWay, 7 January 2020Progress report: ( monitor-do-over ): Both speakers is out of the front wall. Image not preserved: redo_speaker_03.JPG The cement block has been taken out of the left…
studioNorWay, 7 January 2020New measurement done with new original speaker with amp mounted on the back. I did not mount this with Sorbothane. Just wanted to make a reference measurement. Find…
studioNorWay, 7 January 2020Thanks Greg. I just want to get this over with so I’m working as much as I can:). I’m glad you like the modeling. Just a few tweaks now and I’m going to print it. I hope…

studioNorWay, 28 January 2020Hi everyone. Ok, so have finally finished mounting the speakers back in place. Also, now with the right tension on all the Sorbothane. When testing the actual sound, I…
Gregwor, 28 January 2020Crazy. I'm kind of at a loss here. Your SPL issue hasn't really been resolved. Either has your reflection issue. However, strangely the time domain response has…
studioNorWay, 29 January 2020Yes, its crazy. And it a bit weird that there is no change because I hear more base than before. Is there a chance that my measurements are bad? Could you give some…
Gregwor, 1 February 2020Doubtful. Sure! Here is your LR SPL for your second measurement and your latest (5th). The blue is the 5th measurement. Image not preserved: Blue is latest.png You…
studioNorWay, 5 May 2020Hi jonkr Thanks a lot for commenting. Yes, I have started to realize that myself. But I have decided to change the speakers. Enough is enough. I am using the studio…
studioNorWay, 18 June 2020I have not decided yet. I have started to look around but have not used much time yet with the details. I was thinking maybe starting a new thread on the forum for some…
studioNorWay, 23 December 2020Hi all It has been a long time sins the last post and the last time I did construction in the studio. It has been a good time getting to know the space and I am now…
studioNorWay, 27 December 2020Merry Christmas everyone New measurement done with correct settings on my current speakers. The measurement was done based on description here:…
