Hey CRAIG . . . not alot of room in the basement so all the angle walls are to hide poles and duct work. I just hope it helps in some way with the acoustics of the room. THANK YOU very much for the nice comments!

That is REALLY nice.
It looks like the result of one of those makeovers you see on Holmes or HGTV.
If the music thing doesn't work out for ya, you definitely have talent in the design and build trade.

Fantastic Kev.
Now all it needs is all your awards on the wall, a couple of grammy's I reckon would suit just fine.
Oh, and somewhere for me to get my head down at night.

"Home-studio Makeovers." It might be a niche market, but that would be one show i'd PVR!

I just checked through all my award. I have one. It's for 'cycling proficiency' if that's any help.

That is awesome Kev. Really great looking setup. If I were you, I'd keep those pictures protected. Otherwise, CJ may put them up on his website and call it his place.

That's beautiful, Kev.
It's a wonderful space, and very nice workmanship.
It's too bad the plumbers hosed you on those gas pipes.
A good plumber would have never routed them that way, and it made for a lot of extra work on your part. I imagine you had a few choice words, eh?

Hey ALEGRIA . . . That was the desk I was going to purchase. But then I realized that about 75% of my time is mixing. My posture at the desk is always leaning on my elbows. So I went with the cushion desk top. I think, I still have room on top for a smaller 49 key midi controller. KEEP an eye out on SWEETWATER.COM, every now and then they have 10-20% OFF coupons. THANKS Kev

Hey Kev,
Did you keep the plastic on that chair for when a CH member shows up?
Well played.
