Nearly completed after 3 years - (Studio 3 Productions)

these graphs look so sexy... WOW, really...

:oops: Thanks! Very much appreciated! (And I think I probably wont tell my wife that somebody thinks my graphs are sexy... :) )

Kudos to you, Stuart :) And John, obviously

Don't forget Rod DeMoss! He's the owner of Studio Three Productions. I just designed the place, based on inspiration from John's acoustic concepts and some of his his designs, but it's Rod who actually built it! Sometimes I'm sure he thought I was certifiably nuts, and I should have been locked up in a padded cell, with some of the convoluted stuff I designed for him to build, or things I asked him to do to the studio... But he did it anyway, with good humor, high precision (mostly... :) ) and great workmanship... with the results that you see. It's only because he followed the designs so carefully that we got the results we did. He deserves a very large chunk of the credit, too! Check out Rod's web site at the link. There's much more to the studio than he posted here. It's a real oasis out in the beautiful countryside, for taking a break away from it all, while you track and mix your album. If you are ever out that way, be sure to drop by and have a cup of coffee with Rod. OK, bad idea: skip the coffee (Rod has some strange ideas about what can legitimately be called "coffee"... :) ), but certainly do go out there, chat with him, and take a look around the studio! - Stuart -

Indeed.. No design would be a proper design without excellent execution :) You are the man actually, Rod!

Congratulations! Looks like a lot of effort that beautifully paid off. Reffering to your starting point - what would you say contributed the most to geting rid of this nasty null at c.a. 150 Hz (possibly ceiling-floor mode?)

Hi "msieczko". Welcome to the forum!

Congratulations! Looks like a lot of effort that beautifully paid off.

Thanks for the kind words!

I'd have to check the MDAT files to be sure, but from memory it was two things, mostly. First was the mountains of absorption that went in above the visible ceiling, as well as around the wall tops, in the form of horizontal superchunks, and secondly it was the ceiling cloud. If I have time tomorrow, I'll pull out the old data files and see which had the most effect, but it was a combination of those two, I'm pretty sure. - Stuart -

Wow, Some amazing comments! Somehow I lost my link to the forum, and I haven't been getting updates. For all of you that have visited the website and had a look around I appreciate all the amazing kind words. There was a tremendous amount of work that I had no earthly clue was required when Stuart asked me who was going to build it. I of course thought it would be any other build like I've done for 30 years: boy was i wrong!!! (But first a more pressing matter and that's coffee, I understand that Stuart is from a way way down there country but i thought they had access to coffee and not that hand mixed junk called crapichino. I need to send him some good roasted coffee and directions on how not to add that cream and sugar stuff, geez. :roll: ) Stuart was given a tough task since I had already had built a few of the rooms previously for other uses: it was his ability through our Father above that made it all perfect, and i do mean perfect. My son brings music in all the time to listen to, just to hear things he's never heard before that were done in studio that can't be heard in an average space. Please spread the word to those you know in the US that need an accurate laid back experience to enjoy. With 10 acres, ponds, saltwater pool and much much more, the place isn't used much because people don't know its here, As a small business I don't have the advertising budget to get the word out and the local community is content with bedroom and basement quality. Any help the great forum members can give would be so greatly appreciated and a testament to John, Stuart and the forum that built this place. I hope you all caught that Stuart and I have never met, talked on the phone, or video chatted. This amazing facility was all engineered, designed, built and tested via internet, and my internet connection is a mind blowing 10m download and 1m up. Hire Stuart because he's not only the best studio design guy, but the best friend and mentor you can get!!! be blessed Rod

Just a lurker here from a couple years ago, but I ran across a YouTube video that reminded me of this particular topic. Which I remembered because I was so impressed with the results of Rod & Stuart's efforts. A couple weeks ago, a Kansas City TV station did a short 2 minute segment with Rod & his son Blake about the studio in their local news broadcast, which they also published on their YouTube channel, so I thought I share the link for those who might be interested....

Inside a farmstead shed, Rod and Blake DeMoss welcome recording artists to the recently created Studio 3 ...

Wow! Thanks, Dix. I didn't know about that. Pretty cool to have the studio featured on a news show! Thanks for posting the link. - Stuart -

Hi! Since You've already posted a lots of graphs for this studio (amazing) I would like to see the decay graphs, if possible anyhow... If it's I'd be thrilled. Thanks!
