7166 Im not really getting the high's through edges of the door, but definitely hearing a tremendous amount of upper mids. If I move my ear to the center of the door, it definitely changes to much more of the lows. I think the seals are tight, the jam itself is of inferior construction. I will have...

That makes a lot of sense! Will try my best to do that when I drill out the holes. Thank you!

7150 the question is do I have to do both doors in the communicating door system or just one, and if its just one which one would be most effective? My gut tells me to beef up the door to the live room and not the control room. I'm considering tearing the whole thing out and rebuilding it from the ...

7090 Steel sheets (7,850 kg/m3) are simpler and thinner than sand and 3.5 times the density of MLV (2,200 kg/m3). Adding a thin sheet to the jamb side of each door, say 3mm (1/8") would add in the region of 40kg (88lbs) to the mass of each door, subject to your doors' dimensions. Check whether...

7138 IMG_8385.jpeg Ill post some pictures when its completely done, but Im really loving how it came out. That looks TIGHT! Pun entirely intended. Can't wait to see it all done. Did you happen to snap any pics of the tightening process? I've had good success at pulling fabric tight over frames and ...

And it’s up!

Wanted to share this fun update. I have been building out the ceiling cloud for my control room. The fabric wrapped panels I had previously built were not great, lots of wrinkles, etc.... I just really struggled with it. I thought there had to be a better way for the ceiling! So I found a guy on you...

Thanks, Starlight. I do have both a drop seal and good threshhold seal. The main issue I think is that the door needs more mass. I can clearly hear resonance of the instruments through the center of the door it self. Of course that is absolutely even worse at the perimeter of the doors, but I am thi...

Hey all! I have had a few sessions in the new space and things are going swimmingly, but as with all things I think there is room for tuning. See photos of my doors. These are predictably the weak point of my isolation. While I am getting 40-50 db of isolation between the rooms, I feel like I could ...

Well, I finally finished building my studio and I really wanted to update my desk to move my amazing SSL UF8, UC1, and UF1 controllers up from the keyboard tray and into an embedded prime location on my desktop. Also needed a bit more rack space, so wanted to upgrade from 24U to 32U to support my GA...

7016 I used plywood in my build for the reasons you mentioned and also more mass. I have 1 plywood, 2 5/8" layers with green glue on all layers. I recommend plywood over OSB because it holds screws better and its a bit denser. Thanks for your input! Ugh, plywood is so expensive. It's twice the...

Panels panels and more panels.

Finally got a chance to get my measurements in order. The following were taken with no ceiling treatment other than the built in soffits. Front wall, some side wall, and rear corner treatments. Before I kept going with the cloud and rear wall, I wanted to take a measurement and understand if I am ev...

Well, got the speakers out there and haven’t done a REW yet, but I will say I hear so much more detail in the music it’s wild. It’s like every frequency range is excited all at the same time. There is a tightness to the bass I’ve never had before and I can pick out everything in the mix including ef...
