bigsister, 16 March 2018Hi guys, I’ve been lurking on this site for a while, reading and learning. My wife and I are about to build a house on some land in the countryside and a new studio is…
Gregwor, 9 April 2018Exciting! This would result in the rear portion of your control room being lower. This is not a good idea. Not necessary, acoustically. But if you have to do this in…
bigsister, 13 April 2018Hi Greg, Thanks so much for the reply. I’ve been pondering on and off since I posted and you’re post is very helpful. I probably didn't explain that very well. With the…
Gregwor, 13 April 2018Perfect. Perfect. Exactly. It's like sitting in the front row of a movie theatre. Never cool. There are a handful of posts on the forum here showing pictures of it done…
bigsister, 17 April 2018Hmmm, thanks for the help and encouraging words Greg. I'm not sure if I can build that high, from a budget point of view. So a 4+ meter room height is a best case…
bigsister, 5 February 2019It's been a while but I'm back into the studio design. I've been reading heaps on the forum. Just a quick recap, I'm building a house on 20 acres in a country area and a…

bigsister, 6 February 2019I thought my drawing might be confusing, I guess that's why everyone uses 3D SketchUp images. The third leaf in the cross-section view is the lounge ceiling because it's…
Gregwor, 7 February 2019:thu: And this is exactly why YOU need to design your studio and use the techniques described on this thread and in real acoustic theory books. Residential and…
bigsister, 9 February 2019I've done some calculations for my HVAC system. So many imperial/metric conversions, my brain is fried. I'll post all mine in metric. Here goes. I've added up all my…
Gregwor, 9 February 2019I don't have the time to go over your math right now, hopefully some other forum people can check into it for you soon! Larger ducts = less static pressure = less air…
bigsister, 5 September 2019I'm still plugging away at this one. I've got 2 sand riddles. 1. Here's a tricky one. I know that filling my blocks with sand is good (cheaper than concrete and has a…
Gregwor, 4 October 2019Buckets isn't the worst idea. There are speculations that water was the primary element used to create the Egyptian Pyramids and for the upper half, they had to get a…
