Congrats on the new home Rain!! 

This summer, we too will be looking for a permanent home (like Mike said) to plant our roots in FL. 

Will you be treating the walls/room to get a decent sound (I know most homes in Vegas are "cookie cutter" homes that use cheaper products when building and not very good for audio recording)?

And the nice thing is that there's a large bay window and sliding doors between that room and another spot I've located (part of the living room) w/ a high ceiling (and at an angle) which I could totally use as a control room. 



The best room in my house for tracking is a large upstairs family room that has wood flooring, vaulted ceilings and an irregular shape to the room.  Unfortunately, all of the bedrooms link off of the room and it is one of the most popular rooms in the house.  Once the family went to grandma's for spring break, so I hauled everything up there and did some tracking.  The room dynamics that I was getting were fantastic.


Unable to really utilize this room however, I pretty much went the keep everything dead or tamed route and add my own room ambiance.

Thanks - hopefully it'll work. And good luck to you. :)


Yes, I'll have to do some serious work on the acoustics. I've already started planning that way back in January, shopping around for stuff to build bass traps and all...

I've found that a plate of cookies under a suspended cage works great.  Oh wait, you're not talking about bass player traps are you?

Ever seen that show "An American Haunting"? 

... just sayin' ... be careful!



I hope it works out for you and your wife Rain. It sounds like it's a really nice place.

I released a bass player into the wild recently.  I don't think he'll find his way back.

Thanks guys. Just took the next step and met w/ the lady who's in charge, filled a the application and we're now waiting. Should have some news by Monday.

If it all works, we're looking at starting to move in (painting and all) around March 20th.  I'll try and post more pics. :)

Well, looks like someone applied for it a mere 45 minutes before us... And was approved.

That stinks.

But as I'm never one to get my hopes up too high... Oh well, maybe the next one will have a bigger room for my studio.

Sometimes better things just happen to come along when that happens...
