Top is the Isolation booth, curtains on two walls, bare drywall on two walls, so it is not a dead space, but no early reflections either. Behind one of the curtains is a full size "Do Not Pass" metal road sign, so opening that curtain will add some sharp early reflections...not quite a "plate", but effective.
Middle two are the control room desk. The desk itself is an old bar top, originally from the local VFW, it was in the house when we bought it, so it was perfect for the studio desk...many a beer has passed over this desk. The window between the studio/control room is a double pane sliding door with out the frame, and the curtains were made by my wife.
In the studio proper, There are two panels on the wall shown, one on the opposite wall to cut reflections, but no other treatment, so the room is probably not well balanced acoustically, but it serves its purpose. All mic/guitar/headphone wiring plugs into the panel in the wall, hard wired to a panel under the control room desk, no wires need to go under the door to the mixer.
Every inch of the studio was built by hand, drywall over soundboard on the walls and ceiling, 3/4" rubber isolation strips at the top and bottom of the walls between the plates and joist/floor, hard wiring from the studio and Iso booth, and still, not one paying customer. All of my recording jobs have been on line, the customer was hundreds of miles away...

You know what they say? A clean studio is a sure sign of a sick mind LOL nice studio gamblerchoice, I wish I was that organized.

Stevestrummer - I've been drooling over that wine-couloured electric you've got but can't make out the name - what it is?

Rob
It's a Line 6 Variax 700 - it has built-in modelling software for a range of 'classic' guitars. Not the same, I admit, as owning the real things, but much more practical!

Albert
Love the studio - very nice


Here's the updated snap with the Edirol PCR-800 in its new home - I've thoughfully put a pic of the DAW as it was before on the screen to save you having to go back to page 1 of this thread:

I love the little magnifying glass in the corner of Steve's pic, that fine print is tricky!

And Steve... new pics and a new pattern on the "Cube" .... show-off!

LOL - I just knew you'd spot that Herb

Sadly I need it for things like reading the liner notes on CD's, not recording contracts

After having been blessed with 20/20 vision up until a few years ago, I realise I have to go and get my eyes tested.

It's called "old age" Steve...

He he, that's what it is Herb - sure as hell beats the alternative though

I still behave like a big kid though, my brain is more 16 than its actual 46

Just the ticket Annette!

And the toys are better!!!!

Nice set up there Greg...looks pretty clean and organized to me! Nice collection of guitars and amps as well.

that's really nice, greg!

Hey Albert and Greg, do you still use your 4 track Portastudios? Or is it like mine, just sitting there for old times sake. I keep thinking, maybe one day I'll need it as a back up.

The four track is set up to mix four inputs down to a stereo track that goes into the yamaha mixer, then that can be mixed down with a couple channels and out to the emu 1820, so in theory it is set up to help if I was to run into a situation were there was a drummer in the studio. Got all the patch cords (made a bunch of patch cords myself, bought three hundred foot of lo hz cable when I built the studio, most is in the walls, then made custom cords) and the routing is drawn out on paper, even did a mock up once to make sure it would work. Now, all I need is to get a drummer into the studio.
A few years back there were musicians hanging around all the time, the places I lived in had small smoke filled beer soaked rooms filled with mics and guitars and people six nights a week. Now, not so much. Yeah, I had to quit drinking and staying up all night and playing around like I was still a kid and all of that, but sometimes, I wish...I wish...
