John Sayers' Recording Studio Design Forum Archive

I thought I would introduce myself with this first post, and say 'Hello'. I am an expat American living in Scotland, an ex-recording engineer from a previous career, who still has a passion for music production. I have just moved into a new home, and now have a dedicated room for my audio mayhem (much to my spouse's relief!).

I am very happy to have discovered this resource, and hope to make good use of it going forward, as my space is, alas, of less than ideal dimensions (about 1700 ft/cu), and will need significant help. I hope to be able to take advantage of the expertise on offer in creating my production/mix room, as well as to contribute, if possible, in return.

I will be putting together my room treatment help request post with plenty of detail (I have read the guideline doc), over the next several weeks, and I look forward to beginning a dialog (multi-log?) with the forum.

Until then,

- Richard

Hi there Richard, and Welcome to the forum!

I am an expat American living in Scotland, an ex-recording engineer from a previous career,

That sounds like a dangerous combination! And the start of a good joke, too! "An American, a Scotsman, and a recording engineer walk into a bar, ...."

my space is, alas, of less than ideal dimensions (about 1700 ft/cu)

That isn't too terrible. For a control room, that would be fine. I have designed a few control rooms around that size.

I will be putting together my room treatment help request post with plenty of detail (I have read the guideline doc), over the next several weeks,

I'm looking forward to seeing that!
