sandledfoot, 16 February 2019Hi All, After the third year in my new home, I have begun construction in earnest on my 2nd gen studio in West Virginia. I have been reviewing my design and thought…
sandledfoot, 20 February 2019Failure is always an option. This is the short, painful story of failure. My initial plan for my studio was to acid stain the existing concrete floor. I put in some…
sandledfoot, 12 March 2019Hi All, I do intend to actually write and post photos in this forum (without links) about my build process and choices... but, I have had minimal time to put in the…
sandledfoot, 12 June 2019In the thick of wiring, and design! I'm working towards a soffit mounted monitor for my new control room. I currently own a pair of Event TR8s, and I really like them,…
sandledfoot, 12 June 2019I have questions... I was under the impression that 60 gives you a wider sweet-spot (laterally) than that of 90, but your ear is more used to a direct on axis, so better…
Soundman2020, 12 June 2019Be careful with raising and tilting your speakers... Yes it is possible, if you do it with a lot of care, and carefully check your reflection angles, and figure out your…
sandledfoot, 12 June 2019Stuart, As always, you give me (and others) so much help, thanks! I understand through your posts that there doesn't seem to be a hard and fast rule, but a series of…
Soundman2020, 14 June 2019That's a little high, actually. "Standard" desk height is 29" (depending on who you believe...), and most desks are 28" to 30". Studio desks are generally a bit lower,…
sandledfoot, 14 June 2019Stu, I will take a close look tonight to see what the angles line up to be for first reflections. I think that was the key part I didn't udnerstand, so that helps. As…
sandledfoot, 18 June 2019So before I continue down this path of control room design... i've had a thought and I'd like some opinions. I currently mix on Event TR8s and I like them. I am…
Soundman2020, 18 June 2019I'm not sure I follow you here: How much louder than 120 decibels do you need? :shock: That's already ear-damaging territory... If you are playing that loud, then I sure…
sandledfoot, 19 June 2019Stuart, I understand, and I agree, I am not planning on mixing at over 90db very often, and then in short increments to check something specific or the final mix. I am…
sandledfoot, 15 October 2019Short update. I am 95% through framing. The remaining 5% is the soffit to hide the HVAC ducting. I am currently working on the HVAC, specifically the HRV system ducts. I…
sandledfoot, 7 August 2020All, I have been absolutely terrible in posting updates, but I promise, there has been work! I have hit a wall in the control room design, so I'm hoping someone can give…
Paulus87, 7 August 2020Hi, It looks like you've already set the listening/speaker position so the rest is making everything fit. The angle of the splayed side walls is not enough to deflect…
sandledfoot, 7 August 2020Paul, Thanks for looking it over. It appears i used the wrong angle for the bounce when I was looking for the first reflection. If i shorten the side wall, to increase…
Paulus87, 7 August 2020Hi Kevin, If your speakers have only an 80 degree horizontal dispersion above the Schroeder frequency of your room (or, the range of frequencies of interest) then it…
sandledfoot, 7 August 2020Paul, Thanks again for the feedback. I've read so much about guidelines to follow, in tight correlation of how a poorly done soffit can destroy the sound of the room,…
sandledfoot, 9 August 2020Quick question... I have emptied the room of everything and I am preparing to do the layout for the soffit and splay walls. I will be taking 'before' treatment…
sandledfoot, 13 August 2020Hi All, I managed to clear out the control room and take some empty measurements. I had hoped to reuse some of my previous studios treatments, but I decided to just…
