Other interesting notes:


1. Monitors are backed to the wall
2. The mix position appears to not be centered between two walls
3. No side absorption panels
4. Monitors are not 30% into the room


Mebee none of that matters to a pro?


These pics were originally posted over at gearslutz and folks were asking butch about the monitor placement, asking if they interacted because the 2 sets are so close together and did he have problems with refelctions from the walls....  He said he has had no issues there and has actually take a number of big projects home to mix them there. 
You'd have to think that with those drums being so close there is going to be some serious buzz and low end resonance.

This particular set up I'd like to get in my box of a room...what desk is that?
The desk was custom made to match the hard wood floors and ceiling of the studio

After looking at Mr.VIGS studio does this mean all the money I blew for acoustical treatment was just a load of crap.  I knew I should of taken that money and bought Sonar's X1

I think you are only getting half the story.

The real story is that a "pro" can travel from room to room and quickly understand how their brain and ears are acclimating, and then they can do lots of good work.

But it probably doesn't hurt that the speakers on the desk cost $20k or $30k.

And hey, he may be running ARC. :-)

You should get some photos of the other rooms he works in before you focus on this bedroom studio as if it's some sort of proof that there is no benefit to acoustics management.





I'm a big fan of Mr Vigs catalog... its seems to all be close mic'd heavy pop. Love it!


If he had a quiet singer or acoustic guitarist in there... he'd have traffic noise bleeding in just like everyone else and he'd have the sound of the room, and has been mentioned the resonance of the drum kit... etc. etc.


Heck I've been mixing at my kitchen counter with auratones for a few weeks because I like the view out the window. It's springtime here and the leaves and flowers are at their best.

I check the mixes in my real room.



best regards,
mike

WHooooooooooooo! THANKS Mike, the wife was ready to kill me for buying acoustic treatment and now she understands. I'm keeping my Sonar 8.5!

:-)

Maybe she can choose the covers for the treatment?

A nice floral pattern perhaps?
