Studio buildout day 2…

Posted by jlopatin on 11th November 2007

we finished!!!

right panel

Here is the right panel frame.

both panels

Both panels… all we have left to do is place the acoustic material, and wrap…

finished with trim

All done! We finished with some walnut trim.

looking good

I couldn’t wait to get things set up. I connected just enough stuff to do some listening tests, and it sounds GREAT! It is way better than I had hoped. The sound is even and well balanced. There are no bassy sounding spots in the room (even against the back wall), and the stereo spread is phenomenal.

We got it finished just in time, too! Next weekend, I’m going to be recording with my friend Joel’s jazz band.

Studio buildout day 1…

Posted by jlopatin on 4th November 2007

We started construction of my new recording studio control room this morning. Amelia’s cousin Dave is helping with the project. I am really happy with how it’s turning out!

insulation

I put the new insulation up by myself! It is mold and mildew resistant.

wall frame

We are building the new wall in three pieces. Dave built the center section at home and brought it over. The fit is perfect!

mounting points

We bent some conduit to move an outlet, and attached crossbeams to mount the new wall on.
finished!

Here is the finished center section! It looks great, and the room is already sounding better.

fabric

Here is a close up of the fabric we are using to wrap the walls.

We’ll be finishing up next Sunday, so look for more pictures then!
