Studio Build- Central Portugal

[quote="endorka"] 5088 Lovely stuff. Are the speaker stands filled with sand or something like that? NO but they are pieces of the laminated beams for the ceiling so they are damn heavy.. 30kg each or something.. And you have a full Trace Elliot stack! Amazing! :yahoo: I have a 4x10 Trace ...

Studio Build- Central Portugal

Joules was here the last few days and we got all the patch bay tested and it all works and the outboard gear is in but sadly, one of my db25 8 channel cables was too short to get the ASP880 (2nd one) fully connected and also the Mac Mini required a cable (USB-C to thunderbolt 2), that prevented us f...

We will have some lamps for ambience for sure.. Where can I get a huge lava lamp. I am up for that. As for the panels, they are absorptive and each one is tuned slightly differently so you can move them around to change the sound of the room as you need. I still need some gobos and small carpets.. S...

My friend Mike helped me and we finally managed to get the floor in the live room down. It was a challenge to get this 3 pieces lined up but it turned out pretty damn good. WE started on the spaceship as that piece needed to be perfect and it turned out perfect. Floor looks pretty amazing and will p...

Hello Jennifer [quote="endorka"] 5071 Progtastic! I remember seeing Credo some years ago. Will you be using any movable gobos in there? Yes.. I either have to make some or buy some. Any idea who sells good ones in Europe??? I will also have some small carpets so we can adjust the room that...

Yes... me too. IT has a very nice bit of reverb time now and should be really good for drums and rock bands, which is what will mostly be recorded. Exciting.... Need to find a few small carpets to adjust the sound a bit if necessary..... Should have a final video in max 2 weeks, when I hope all will...

Joules is returning April 21st to finish the job. It looks about 4 days more work to complete all the work. I managed to get the floor levelled for putting in the vinyl flooring but sadly, they guys who did are so over worked they can not fit me in for a few more weeks so probably not til the first ...

Studio Build- Central Portugal

I've been meaning to ask, how are you cooling the amps in your monitors or did you remove the amps? Paul Joules did not put any special cooling conduits in. The monitor enclosures have a large opening at the top for the heat to rise out and some additional smaller holes. He said that there would be...

Studio is coming along nicely but there is a break for a week or two as we get the floor down in the live room and entrance room. I expect by the end of the month, we will be 100% complete and ready to record and mix! Wow.. what a long journey.... :mrgreen: Here are a few new pictures..

Central Portugal Studio Control Room Readings

Hello Again.. I had a long discussion with Joules about all the readings, etc.... "If that's the case (which is, indeed, the "standard" level for doing such measurements), then why do the graphs show levels about 10,000 times higher, at around 120 dB? In fact, both the Frequency Respo...

Yes.. I think that is it but I have asked him now.. 5036 Here are the results.

Hello.... some of you might have been following the construction of my studio by Joules Newell. We are getting close to completion now with some treatments in the live room, putting the floor in (not Joules) the live room and entrance way but it is mostly wiring. Yesterday was an exciting day and we...

It was quite exciting today as Joules made some acoustic measurements in the control room. I have attached a picture. He used an Earthworks microphone that Stuart recommends, Focusrite soundcard and did three measurements. One close to the speaker, one at about the mixing spot and one closer to the ...
