Dry fitting some of the LEDs and testing diffusers. Going to be pretty cool!

Ok so we have the 40kg/m^3 on the inside loosely stuffed, and the 128kg/m^3 rigid rockboard 80 on the outside. Rear corner traps are 7.5" thick with 6" of soft and 1.5" of rigid on the face an 7" of airgap. Front bass traps are 12" deep super chunk style. Looking good! Going...

6902 Glenn would say the pink stuff because it is less dense. You need to decide whether the Rockwool is soft and fluffy or more dense. I make the decision for myself as this: if it comes in a long roll it will be softer than if it comes in slabs. Does that make sense to you? 6903 hard to tell by t...

6899 The Rockwool looks to be correct, not stuffed (as in compressed), which will be fine. In soffits we want what gets called soft fluffy, which will be more useful in lower frequencies. It does not matter whether you use continuous lengths or scraps, just loosely fill the space. It looks good; ke...

Can someone put my mind at peace? I made a bad design choice, though the esthetic is killer, but now I have all this rockwool cutoff. I’ve been stuffing my soffits with it, will this be detrimental because it’s not full sheets and it’s just kind of stuffed in there? I just don’t want to sacrifice an...

6848 Also had a little side project over the long weekend and organized my mic locker. Bought shadow foam from the UK and learned how to cut it. Was a bit tough but by the end I had it figured out. Thanks for this, the pluck out cubes lining my microphone cases are either falling to bits or sufferi...

i would angle both windows because the "far" side window being vertical will have the same potential for reflections. Thanks Glenn! This is what I will go with. A few more pics. Started framing some room treatments. Still have a long way to go but the soffits are turning out well. IMG_685...

6844 not only does it look cool, but it's really only for optical purposes - and typically 6° if you have the jamb width. :-) the angle will help reduce the light reflections. and a set of really heavy drapes to pull over it when you want to mix will help, plus if you're letting folks use the live ...

Glenn another question for you, to angle or not to angle the windows in the control room? Is 4º really going to do anything at all or does it just look cool?

6841 if you're sure it's consistently 1/2" i'd probably use 1/2" thick strip (e.g. most dense plywood will be 15/32") and which is 1" less wide that the frame (leaving 1/2" depth on either side for the backer rod and caulk to seal it. the concept - provide a solid backing t...

Ok new construction opinion needed. I made the rough opening of my door frames in accordance with the RO of the doors I ordered. (34" x 82.5"). The the actual frame of the door is about 32.5" x 81". The problem this has lead to is a GIANT 1/2" gap around the door frame. What...

Just like that, we have smooth walls. (Spoiler, I hired out the sanding and taping)

Of all the work done so far, I am most proud of these windows. I used Stuarts built on site method. The outside glass is 3/8” laminated set with glazing tape and caulked with PVC trim cleating it into place. The interior is 5/8” glass set on a neoprene seal and cleated in place with some interior tr...

It may seem like a small win, but I HAVE ELECTRICITY!

6789 I hear you! The combination of the materials being large, heavy, oddly angled, above your head and cut and fitted to high tolerances is very mentally and physically demanding. A challenge even for an experienced worker. I take my hat off to you for your persistence. 6790 like any construction ...
