Hi Gullfo,

Thanks. Those are some good ideas.

Hi Stuart, Jennifer, and Starlight! I can't remember when I posted last but it has been a while. Hope all is well with you all. I hope to post on the completed studio page soon, but first I want to pick your brains about the new studio business partnership I am about to enter. My studio was complete...

Are these 4x2 feet frames? No, they are 4’x 2’-6”. The depth is 5.5”. if you have the space to increase the 2" gap to be the same as the depth Unfortunately I don’t. Thank you for the calculator! It shows that I get more absorption from 200hz and below using my current depth of 5.5” with 2” ga...

Hi Folks, Happy New Year! Please look at these photos. Is there too much material (wood framing) on the inside? Shouldn't it just be an open box? Once filled and wrapped with fabric, I want to mount on wall not corner, with 2" gap so it is not right against the wall. Thank for any feedback. How...

Thanks Starlight!

Thanks Jennifer! I will order that book right away. I am a novice in regards to mic placement and recording, so I appreciate the suggestion.

Some thoughts now that I have completed the building and turn to more treatment of the inside. I have learned so much. I know the mistakes I made and what I would do differently if I ever build another studio. Here are things I learned that I hope will help someone else one day: 1) Get your land sur...

More photos. Door Front Outside View.jpg The following photo is of my front porch. It violates the setback and will have to be changed to a cantilever style, in order for my building to get permitted. I will loose 3'-7" of overhang. The builders used my fence line as the basis for determining w...

Ok next inside-out ceiling fabric, flooring, lighting, and raceways.

What a pleasant surprise to hear from you Stuart! Ok I am going to post pictures of where I left off. My last photos were from June 4, 2020. I will now show you what I did since then. First more on the doors. I only did two layers for the doors. If I were to do it again I would probably do three. Do...

Hi Jennifer and Starlight, Is the paper cover against a wall? Yes, the corner walls. What do you want the paper to do? My carpenter thought if we stapled it on as we did it would keep the insulation from compressing and keep fibers in. I had no other reasons for doing that. The Kazoo effect you both...

Hi Everyone, I made eight corner bass traps yesterday, two per corner, each half the distance from floor to ceiling. The total distance is 9'-4" from floor to ceiling. So each trap is 4'-6", leaving a 2" space up top which we may cover with molding or not. For the bottom traps I used ...

Thank you sir!

Thanks. I am going from floor to ceiling. Do you recommend that I actually touch the ceiling at the top or is it okay if I have a gap of an inch or two?

In plain English, use soft and fluffy rolls of insulation rather than denser slabs.

Ok. How do you keep the insulation from compressing?

Hi Starlight, Jennifer, Paul, Lucio, and Stuart! I know it has been a while. I hope you are all well and I will check out your studio threads soon. I have my carpenter coming over in a few minutes to take measurements for Superchunk bass traps. I am going to use the same dimensions as you Starlight....
