Need help with studio setup.

Once again... someone skipped that all to important thread at the top of the forum........ Read this 1st... So go look and read..... others can provide a link if they choose to...

http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3231 Update your location :idea:

Aloha and welcome to the forum, bluz :D Congrats on your studio build! Any chance you could please resize your pic down to about 600 pixels wide? This will keep us from having to scroll back and forth just to see whats there and to read the posts. You will probably get more (favorable) responses as well, and it's also part of the forum guidelines. Thanks! :wink: Looking forward to your build! Aloha 8)

Seeing that you PM'd me about these things... Read the directios for posting Pics http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=357 And could you be more specific than east coast. You could be in maine for all we know.

Sorry guys!

Now we are getting somewhere. Could you edit your 1st post to either delete that photo or post this resized photo. Thanks... And in that read before you post thread, there were some detials of what information to put in your post.

Aloha, Try this: :wink: Aloha 8)

Aloha, Okay, now the questions: - What kind of help are you looking for? - What are your isolation requirements? - How loud are you? Any chance you could post some pics of your room? (Again, about 600 pixels wide works real nice :wink: ) Setting up the Mix Position Here are a few bits of information I’ve collected along the way… • Soffits angled 30 deg. in from a flat wall result in speaker baffles being perpendicular to the two legs of equilateral triangle comprised of two speaker centers and a point about 10" behind your head • The baffle extension (the face of the soffit) should be as large as you can make it, up to about 45" in each direction from the woofer in a system with a LF cutoff of around 45 hZ - There's a formula based on LF cutoff that ensures full 2 pi response for the woofer if the baffle is at least the size obtained in the formula's solution - • Monitors should NOT sit on the console but behind, placed on heavy decoupled stands - console placement causes early reflection problems in most cases, unless the console is slanted down in front a LOT. • Distance to wall behind speakers will change response drastically - there is a wall bounce calculator on the Acoustics forum that's fun to play with (needs Excel) • Moving either speakers or your head by as little as an inch or two can sometimes make drastic changes in response, due to modal peaks and dips. • Left/right room symmetry (at least within a foot or two of ear height) is important for good stereo imaging. • Roughly 38% of total room length from the front wall • Equilateral triangle formed by left, right mix position • Monitor angles 60 degrees • Monitor height – woofer at ear level (avoid mid point of floor to ceiling measurement – either sit higher or lower if necessary) • Angled side absorption panels – left/right of mix position • Side walls 6-12 degrees • Ceiling 12 degree slope Here's a couple of good places to start for ideas: SAE Website: http://www.saecollege.de/reference_material/index.html (be sure to click on the acoustics, absorbers, construction tabs at left, and tabs that appear at the top of the pages) Wall Units - http://www.johnlsayers.com/HR/index1.htm Recording Studio Design Forum Reference Area: http://johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2125 More Useful Links: http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1168 If you care to check out a couple of recent threads using these absorbers, try here: http://johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic ... ght=#15598 and here: http://johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4091 Hope these help, Aloha 8)
