No screw holes are another engineering marvel. I simply faced the "screwed" side to the back :wink:I didn't even notice those were several layers of plywood glued together. I just thought you got them built that way - much the way support beams are constructed for this purpose.
Easton PA Studio Build - FINISHED!

Yeah yeah yeah.................................we all know he's done a totally fab job, but which one was him???????
I'm so confused!! :wink: :wink: :wink:
Awesome again my friend, thank you for the inclusion in your credit list, not to mention the inspiration I apparently provided at the beginning!
Great desk, and, again..great colours!

Thanks Tom! How does it sound? I think it sounds Great! When the drummer is going bananas, I can sit at the board and talk PRETTY quietly with someone - AND- I can hear what the mics hear, which is what I set out to achieve. Plus upstairs (first floor) - is WAY better for my wife and kids. The second floor, man you can't hear anything! The sounds within the rooms are really great. When I close the door, the whole world "goes silent" if you know what I mean. you can hear the blood flowing in your head. There's really no echo or ambience at all. And for a room 10x11, I think that's pretty good. With a larger room, I'm guessing the RFZ is more important. I only had so much room to place my panels. The true test is when I begin mixing. Then we'll see if they transport ok, without any major deviations. The bass at the board is "normal" (if that makes any sense). Then, when I move to the backof the room (a whole 5 feet or so from mix position) the bass is a lot more noticable. I'm guessing that's because it just takes some physical distance for a bass wave to develop? Who know, I'm no Eric Desart or Ethan Winer. Those guys are the brilliant acoustic-guys. Also, I still need to record some drum tracks (which I'm hoping to do this week/weekend). I'll post my results when I'm done. So I'm pretty happy and feel like I acheived what I set out to do. The mixes will tell...Awesome job Brad. Looks fantabulous. Did I miss How does it sound? Tom
Thanks Lou - and yours promises to be something special as well! I can't wait to see that puppy all done with lights-a-glowing, and equipment in place. 8)Yeah yeah yeah.................................we all know he's done a totally fab job, but which one was him???????

I'll be posting my whole photo-essay on how I built my bass traps and acosutic panels - in the acoustics forum. I just ran out of time last night.
If you think my studio pix were detailed, then these will certainly not disappoint! :wink:

"Acoustic Panels Build" post is done and can be viewed here:

Nice work Brad
Whats the isolation like with those drums through those sliding doors?
JohnG
Very good actually. I've been recording some guitar parts too. A Marshall JTM-45 with a Fender Tele (a recipe for "noise"). And I was pleasantly blown away by how quiet the recording was. Some thought it was a POD! So the isolation seems to help block out any radio noise too. I was able to sit in the control room with the amp in the live room and listen to what the microphone was hearing. That's what I set out to do 8)Nice work Brad Whats the isolation like with those drums through those sliding doors? JohnG
Brad...
That's a GREAT looking job you did there. Man, you've come a long way from asking "newbie" questions to a "custom" studio build! A big ol' CONGRATS on a job well done!
Just curious...you got a plan developed to get BIZ, or you think people spreading the word will drum up som Biznezz?
Once again, good job!
Stan - No plan as of yet, except to run an ad (web-ad) that the local music store runs. Lots of people visit it regularly, so I figured it might help me get some people in - and hopefully the word will spread. Do have a plan that you used? If so, please let me know! And thanks for the nice words.Brad... That's a GREAT looking job you did there. Man, you've come a long way from asking "newbie" questions to a "custom" studio build!

Congrats Brad! Great news!
Def post clips....
Bass often builds up in the rear of a room, but not because bass waves need room to develop. I hear this often, though.... The real reason has to do with how the reflections from the rear wall interact with the other sound waves in the room. This is another reason the rear wall is a common place for bass trapping.The bass at the board is "normal" (if that makes any sense). Then, when I move to the backof the room (a whole 5 feet or so from mix position) the bass is a lot more noticable. I'm guessing that's because it just takes some physical distance for a bass wave to develop?
YAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
i haven't checked your build in a while. it looks SICK!!!
i hope you're absolutely loving it.
i'm in my studio all the time until the house sells.
also. . . i notice a bass buildup in the back of the room too. i have only 3" of rockwool so its not a ton of bass absorbtionl
ROCK ON!!!
give me a call next time you're in my area, come chill!
Hey Brad:
Now that you have the studio completed, is there any sense of a let down? I mean there is all this build up and hype, and of course all of the work and time that goes into it (not to mention the money), and this leads to wild fantasies and dreams of how it is going to turn out. What say you a couple of weeks down the road? Any regrets? Things you would have done differently? Disappointments?
Any samples yet?
Take care bro, we miss your contributions around here! Stop by once in a while!
I'm still here! "Like a stalking butler" After a couple weeks, I'm still working out some bug - all of which are patchbay related. Also got a real nice hum in my Mackie. When I shut off the expander, it goes away so I may install a ground-strap between the two units. I recorded some clean guitar track in the live room. A Telecaster into my Marshall JTM-45. I was PLEASANTLY surprised at how clean and quiet the recording was. The amp (thank God) was cooperating well and had very little (if any) "amp noise" so the mic only picked up a quiet - clean signal. I'm about to do some recording with my drums. I'm REALLY curious to see how well the room -stays the hell out- of the drum tracks!! Once I record them, I'll post em. What would I have different? 1. Alloted more space... 2. Better design with regards to outlet placement and bass traps.Hey Brad: Now that you have the studio completed, is there any sense of a let down?

Brad- How quiet is it on the first floor when you are LOUD below? Can they watch TV without too much noise from below? Can they talk on the phone at a normal volume, or do they have to yell? I'm getting ready to build something similar. Thanks! BrianPlus upstairs (first floor) - is WAY better for my wife and kids.
i might as well chime in as i'm in a similar situation. my studio is directly below the master bedroom and my oldest sons room. drums, guitar and loud mixing is all i've done so far, and my wife says she here's a very low rumble during all of the above. she says when the tv is on, even very low, she can't hear anything going on below. i have to say i'm more impressed than i expected to be. on the ceiling i have hat channel with clips, 2 layers of 5/8" gypsum and green glue between the layers.
in my home, good isolation between studio and livable space = happy wife
and we all know a happy wife is a happy home.

Ahhhh... Who cares about what the wife thinks anyway??? (Ducks!) ;)...wordin my home, good isolation between studio and livable space = happy wife and we all know a happy wife is a happy home.
guys - this is very encouraging to hear with respect to the isolation you have achieved. I've been noticing the wifey's heals get muffled while she walks on the hardwood floor above the room I'm building.
Eagerly anticipating the time when I can fully test this with a sealed door frame.
Just in case anyone want to abandon THEIR new studios and come to record at MY new studio (he he!!) :lol: :lol:

Very nice... similar to what I want to do but it looks like a lot of hard work!
Hey Brad, i haven't been back here in a while. Your place looks great!!!!!
I think we have a mutual happiness for each other knowing how my effort and TIME we put into our builds. You are still welcome to come by my spot next time you're in NJ!
