I love it when a plan (with or without band-aids) comes together... :mrgreen:
sorry - wrong thread..
made some more room by removing irrevelant pix
OK, after the temporary thread jacking...here we go. Back to the latest. I've had these pix developed since mid April, but have been too busy to scan them. Just brought a new server online here at the office, so that's consumed every moment of my time the last few weeks. So, here we go... Most of these pix are of the front soffit wall. I'll have more after these in the next couple weeks...

That's all the pix for now. I have more on the way. Since these were taken a month ago, I've already finished the floor, the second layer of ply on the front soffit wall. I'm now working on the rear soffits (frame, stands, conduits, etc.). May have most of this done except the ply by the end of the weekend. Enjoy everyone, and have a good weekend. :D
My sincere apologies for violating what should have been obvious thread etiquette - it won't happen again!
Not a problem. If you haven't done so, you might repost the questions under another/new thread. You'll probably have better response, and you can have all the Q' & A's of yours all in one thread. If there is something specific in my construction that you have a question about though, please ask. I'll be happy to help. :D
Hi Y'all... :D Seems like I've been busy on everything but the studio lately. I've been running some tones and pink noise, etc, just to see how the room is reacting without treatment. It's very interesting to see how the room changes as you make a change. I still need to complete the rear soffits, but I've got them mostly framed. Just need to finish the conduits (low voltage and electrical). The room is farely flat at 90dB, with a boost around 80 hz, and a major roll off around 8kHz. I'm assuming this is due to the reflections, noise cancellations, comb filtering, etc. Hoping this will bounce back up once the treatment is in. Anyway, that's the latest. I'll try and get this other roll developed and post the pix of the finished floor, etc... :D
Holy Crap!!! 30,000 views on this thread. :shock: :shock: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: 8) 8)
OK...Heads UP! I've got 2 rolls of film being developed right now as I type this. I hope to post about 50 new pix today or tomorrow. So check back soon... :D:D:D:D:D
Here we go...the long waited update of pix I promised 2 months ago... :oops: It's all been a $$$ thing lately...

OK, here's the latest as of last night. Took all these pix last night to make up for all the work I've done recently... These are the CR ceiling... It's hard to see, but I notched out the 2x4 about 1" to recess the panels...
