Danke Carsten

It is not as sexy as your Studio, but for my needs and the budget i had, it is the best i can get.

cheers

Just for curiosity..
How many it cost to adapt and isolate the studio?

It's just awesome

[mika]

hi Meshuggah

I don`t think that it is usefull to talk about costs, since you are in Mexico, and germany is different from material costs, codes........
All i can say: this is a small private studio, and i build it alone with my own hands, without help form "friends" and without money from the bank.

The good news, it is all payed, and i can pay the monthly bills for the studio, even with no clients. That was important for my, and is the reason why you can`t find much high end gear, just what i realy need to mix and record quality vocals.
The Idea was to have best acoustics first , and gear can follow when buissens is good.

Aloha,

Looks great, Mika!

Do you have any files we can listen to?

Aloha

[mika]

Thank you Kendale


No, im am soory i can`t give you some samples, since alle then recordings and mixes are part of not jet released productions.
I respect all the work from my clients so the recordings stay privat until release date.

But i can offer some session pics, and antother set of studio pics:




















cheers

Wow that looks amazing. i wish i could do something that nice in mine

[mika]

Started to buy some toys for the Studio.
It is just the beginning, but i will spend about 10k to 20k in equipment unteil end of this year.
It depends on how buisness is going, but it looks quite good until now.
next toy, will be a Tubetech CL1B, Protools 9 and some more mics.

Here are some pics of some of the current avalible toys in Mikas Mietshaus:

i just started to upgrade my Studio a little.
So i started to build some Diffusors for the Back of the Controlroom
Here are some Pics of the first finished one ready to go into Mikas Mietshaus Studio in Frankfurt / Germany









cheers
Mika

[gullfo]

nice! what did you make them out of?

[mika]

the base is some styrofoam with some special 5mm coating to ad mass.
The diffusor is designed to let enough bass pass to the important basstrapping behind it.
cheers
Mika

[mika]

And now it looks like this in my Studio.
Sorry for the bad picture quality;



Diffusors will be mounted next week.

cheers
Mika
