this place looks sharper than shark shit!! very very nice indeeeed... :wink:

I noticed that your control room front walls seem solid. Isn't the normal method to have mostly absorbtion there? Doesn't that give you a lot of reflections? Or is it the fact that it IS solid that makes this not an issue? I'd love to do my studio with wood like you did but it seems to fly in the face of every other design I've seen here. Can someone illuminate me? len

If you look at my studio it is solid up front as well. The general Idea is to "push" the sound to the reaar to get absorbed/trapped......

Why is it then that there are so many recomendations to put absorbtion all over the front of the control room? I think these are the only two I've seen that had solid fronts (maybe I wasn't looking that closely). Could it have to do with whether or not the monitor speakers are soffit/flush mounted vs free standing (and wanting to absorb the sound from the back of the speakers so they don't bounce back to the mix position?

Soffit mounted speakers is a part of the equation. So you are on teh right track ;) Take a look at the studios John has designed and/or built..... http://www.johnlsayers.com/Studio/index.htm some are absorbed up front, some aren't.

Hey "len-morgan"! I mainly did the solid front wall because that is what I am used to. It may not be the correct way but...! All of my studios control rooms always had that same type of vibe with the soffit mounted speakers in a pine covered wall. To me I notice that it freaks the uppermids a little but, again, I'm used to it and doesn't bother me one bit. Because I have a fair amount of absorption on the back walls, It helps quite a bit with the reflections. As well, and I'm no expert here, because of the crazy shape of the front wall there is alot of sound difussed away from me at mix position. Its not a flat wall. Its angled and splayed! Hopefully that little bit helped.

One additional thing, with a low ceiling you absorb the ceiling in that front area as well :)
