The way that is rendered, it almost looks like the floor is slot resonator! That would be an interesting concept... :) It looks neat, though! - Stuart -

it does look really nice - I like the circular windows :)

" it almost looks like the floor is slot resonator! " That is reclaimed, unvarnished pine ;)

i'm thinking a pair of MicroMain 35's on the producer desk 8)

Yeah, I know, but it sure LOOKS like a "slot floor"! (An interesting concept, to say the least! I guess it would be possible to actually build one, just rather impractical.... excuse my imagination while it runs wild... :) ) - Stuart -

Think about how easy it would be to sweep up or deal with spills... :wink:

Say, maybe you ARE onto something there, Glenn! It would make running cables easier too... Hmmmm.... :) - Stuart -

No high heels on the female help...only sandals or bare feet.

I'm adding slots to ceilings. I did it first in Left Bank and I'm now using them in my new designs.

Do you place the slats on key mode points or in between? Reflection pints? Or just best fit?

Hey John, I'd just like to know if the cavity behind them is a sealed box within the iso envelope, or does it penetrate the ceiling plane, and use space between the ceiling and roof...or what? Although, I'd bet that's one of those.."propietary knowlege" things all studio designers seem to have in their bag of acoustical/iso tricks, eh?. :mrgreen: BTW Glenn, great design and renderings. I'd sure like to know how those nearfields are levitated though. :mrgreen: Now THAT would be a trick! :D As soon as I recieve my new computer(Tuesday), I'll finally be able to render Sketchups too. Two GTX 480's on an EVGA 3xSLI Classified/i7-975x with 6gig of ram BETTER do the rendering thing... or I'ma gonna be ticked!

you could send them over here and i'll test them out for you. i know you don't need the stress :wink: seriously though, you might consider 8gb or even 16gb RAM for the i7. the GTX 480 GPU - check to make sure whatever rendering software you're using will actually take advantage of them. there are some reports they run slower than older cards, maybe just a driver thing.

they're the MagLev Anti-G stands which provide positional accuracy to within 0.00001mm and can self-adjust due to program material, listening height, and head position. :shot: :mrgreen: or just buy the matching Barefoot monitor stands...
