Up All Nite Studio - 2022 [Control Room]

It's great when you get those moments of musical satisfaction after all that work.

Cheers!

That would be well trippy! Afraid not though, I'll just be painting them the same cream colour as the walls :D

I've sawed the side wall and sloped edges of the soffit baffle faces. A little bit tricky due to the bevels required. I thought the best way to figure out where to cut the inside edge was by attaching these baffles to the soffit structure then dropping a plumb bob from the corresponding edge on the ...

Thank you! Well it's a big place you have, and doing the drywall is a big job, especially when you have to do several layers :D

I had a recording session today so had to get the room back into working shape. I really like the way it's coming together. I love the sound of the speakers in those locations, and I can see the soffits are going to improve the tidiness and professional look of the room without consuming useful spac...

The test baffle has a rectangular hole for the speaker, but the speaker is egg shaped, so this won't do. I built an MDF router template for cutting speaker shaped holes in the final MDF baffle faces. It's sized and shaped to give a few mm clearance around the speaker so the baffle face won't touch i...

Speaker boxes coming along. I drilled an 80mm diameter hole for the upper duct and a smaller hole for cables and DIP switch access. There will be another 80mm duct hole in the bottom of the speaker, but I have to wait until later in the build until I determine the exact location of the speaker box s...

Nicely described. So in other words, am I correct to think you can have air moving faster than the outlet as long as it's not a ridiculous differential right before the properly sized grille, and the fast moving areas like your silencer are sufficiently isolated to prevent any whooshing being heard?

I like that idea with the lighting!

The current fan controller has 4 settings: off, low, medium, high. I've located it under my desk so I can switch between them without getting up from the desk. Very useful for what you mention and switching it on/off for recording quiet instruments.

6649 Thanks Glenn. Im not 100% sure what you mean by a plenum, but I'm imagining some type of box that the registers are attached to, large enough to slow the air down significantly so it just kind of falls out of the register silently? And if I use one of those, then my silencer can just be the sa...

That make sense Glenn thank you. I reckon I could get away with a slower and therefore quieter fan speed yet, so at some point I may get a variac that supports lower speeds. Or even connect it in series with the 3 way switch currently used the gives low, medium and normal speeds.

Cheers!

I sealed the joints on the supply plenum, put in a gasket for where it meets the wall, and added duct liner to it. Having a layer of OSB behind the plasterboard made screwing it to the wall easy. The plenum only contacts the knee wall, it will not touch the soffit baffle structure or faces. 20240212...

I should have been clearer about the SPL results from above about 500Hz in the room below, there may or may not have been an effect from the isopod, I just couldn't measure it because the sound had disappeared into the ambient noise above those frequencies. I could feel the shelf & frame the spe...

I'm trying to discover if having the monitors bolted to the wall will put more sound into the house structure than the current setup, which is the monitors on Genelec isopods on speaker stands. To this end I compared a monitor bolted to its shelf within the soffit, to the monitor sitting on the Gene...
