holickpro, 31 August 2007I am starting with a 23' 4" x 15' 4" with 11' 8" ceilings, sloping to 8' on two sides. This studio will be used to record mainly one instrument at a time, but I would…
kendale, 31 August 2007Aloha, In Rod Gervais’ book “Build it Like the Pros,” http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5670 he points out both L.W.Sepmeyer’s & M.M. Louden’s formulas…
holickpro, 5 September 2007Sorry for not being very detailed. I was replying from a blackberry. I will have high speed internet at my house tomorrow so I will be able to communicate better. By gap…
holickpro, 6 September 2007Excellent. Thank you. My biggest issue right now is the exterior door. I like the floor pan you have drawn, so I may just move the door over several feet which will open…
kendale, 6 September 2007Aloha, If you are willing and able to relocate the door, I agree that it would be a better location :wink: One thing nice about opening into the live room is that you…
holickpro, 13 September 2007Okay. I took some pictures of the floor (and the building just for the heck of it). 2x6's with 3/4" plywood sitting on blocks. I leveled it up today with jacks and I…
kendale, 13 September 2007Aloha, Cool building :wink: Wall A is indeed floor to ceiling, 2x4's 16" OC construction with insulation between studs (3" rock wool @ 2.5 pcf). To save space, you could…
holickpro, 19 September 2007Thanks for the much needed info kendale...I am understanding now. Couple more questions - Would putting in a couple sliding glass doors instead of windows cause any…
kendale, 19 September 2007Aloha, Yes, you could. Many of John's designs have included double sliding glass doors. If you mirror the left/right angled walls in the control room 6-12 degrees each,…
holickpro, 21 September 200712 Degrees each? For a combined angle of 24? The blueprint measures 6 degrees on one wall and 7 on the other for 13 degrees. Is this correct? Should I make them both 6?…
kendale, 21 September 2007Aloha, The skp file wall angles were drawn at and should have been 6 degrees each. Note that this is not a blueprint but rather, a design concept. The 12 degrees were…
holickpro, 24 September 2007Okay, here are a couple pics. One is the ceiling how it is now, the other is with one (poorly) photoshopped piece of insulation inserted. Center to center on the trusses…
holickpro, 24 September 2007Another thing I have been pondering... I am wanting to make the slat resonator walls as simply as possible, yet I want everything to look absolutely great... if you can…
holickpro, 25 September 2007Thanks Glenn... That is kind of what I had figured, but wanted to be sure. I have all the 3/4" MDF and 3/4" Plywood installed on the floor. It made a huge improvement in…
gullfo, 25 September 2007very good. not sure the swiftlock will do much for sound proofing but if its in your budget and looks good then it probably is good... remember to layout everything…

holickpro, 1 October 2007Okay. So the room would be too dry. I still need some type of insulation for heat and cold, any suggestions. I guess I could use semi rigid and then cover it with…
holickpro, 14 October 2007Well it's been a couple weeks since my last post on here and things are going well. Both partitioning walls have been built. The laminate floor is down. Most electrical…
holickpro, 6 November 2007Working 16 hours a day has made this build seem like it has taken years but in reality just a month or so. I have little things left to do, like some trim, a little…
rod gervais, 6 November 2007Joe, the place looks magnificent - and I bet it sounds great as well......... as I loook at the pics I get concerned a bit - you say this is a commercial studio open to…
holickpro, 6 November 2007Thanks for the comment Rod. :oops: I won't record anyone that would file a lawsuit against me. My studio is located right next to my house in the country outside of city…
holickpro, 6 November 2007After you get familar with all the functions, the DM3200 is a great piece of equipment. The initial setup is rather time consuming and somewhat confusing maybe even…
