PIcs of your cribs..

DJ Hellfire wrote:Wow! People are actually starting to post actual PICS in this thread again! Anyway, never added pics of the remodel in this thread. Just some iPhone shots!

Mad Clean, Very, Very professional I go to so many "studios"..... and they should be called locker rooms instead!!!!
How does your sound in there sound?? LOL Do you mix all your tracks in there also? Don't mean to be nosy, just curious what type of sound you get in there.

that's cool

Ist there any description on this, sound demo or anything?

Dope setup Hellfire. Did you convert your garage?

Sounds great. Nice and deadened. Still need to do some sort of bass trapping in the back of the control room, but I kinda don't want to cramp the space anymore, plus I got lazy on building and it's not a major issue, I ain't really pressing it! But yeah, I do all our recording, mixing and mastering in here! Thanks!

Yeah man, my fav colors! Thanks homie!

Back at you! Your shit is one of the cleanest I've seen on here! Anyway, half of my garage is storage, and the other half was finished. I just built the studio in the finished side!

Oh ok,...I was thinking "man that must have cost some cheese to re-do the garage and run the vocal both and all" but I see,... it was done in two separate steps. I'd love to section off my garage and do this too. My garage is fully dry walled including the ceiling so I guess that would make it easier. What about climate control...did you run the central air conditioning out there as well or do you use other methods to keep the temperature right? If you don't mind me asking what do you estimate the complete job costing...Not including your gear of course?

The latest sound demo is from a couple days ago when I got it to be polyphonic! Still haven't coded the midi handling part, so it just plays set notes from the input, it just plays a major triad and an octave of the note it receives via midi.


Here's a demo from an early version of the synth:


I'm posting about progress on this on the arduino forums: here

is that an alpha juno one? why does it say "SynthPlus 10" instead of A-Juno-1???

(and do you have the PG-300?)

my WIP homemade arduino synth

props for having the patience for that. i dabble with building things, but mostly little analog circuits. haven't dug into microcontrollers. was it hard to get going? do you have training in electrical engineering, or is this just for fun?

i got some of those LED grid displays free from TI a few years ago as a "free sample." wondering if you did too?

(still haven't used them tho )

yeah its juno alright....dont really see the point of the pg300 unless youre a collector...something like a bcr2000 is a lot cheaper

Nah, no central air. Garage is detached and a separate unit woulda been too much. So I just have the window ac and a small electric heater. This cost me around $5k for the booth, paint and acoustic panels. Booth is dual walls with two layers of drywall on all walls and ceiling with green glue sandwiched between the layers. Walls and ceiling have 3" thick roxul afb. There is also two layers of drywall on the outside ceiling of the booth. Also 2 exterior steel doors and auto door closures. Led lighting. Laminate flooring. Molding. And the windows are 2 sheets of 30x24 1/2" laminated glass, which the best kinda of glass for sound deadening. Door hardware. And various other hardware and paint. But thats the bulk of the cost. I didn't do anything construction wise to the control room side other than paint and sound panels. You can build something similar for cheaper, but I went for maximum sound deadening since my space is small. I have a build thread in OT.

so why have the juno either? a VST version would be a lot cheaper....

a fukkin tin can and some stones would be cheaper...but will it sound as good

Yeah man definitely. Props for going all the way with the sound deadening between the drywall. If you're going to do it you might as well do it correctly. They sell some sound deadening stuff up at Home Depot and it also goes between the drywall. I don't recall the name of the stuff and I'm not sure if it's recommended by professionals but when the time comes I'll make sure I do my homework. (which I don't think will be anytime soon. ) Again dope work man...I bet it's a great environment to work in.

gertie wrote:a fukkin tin can and some stones would be cheaper...but will it sound as good

exactly. now replace "sound as good" with "feel as good"

not to mention it leaves your bcr2000 (or in my case, novation remote) free for some other task !

i dunno. i just have a huge boner for the thing. it looks cool as shit and the way it's laid out is great. fits the synth like a glove.... not to mention, everything's labelled.

i guess my point is, it's worth having if you can scoop one up for a price.

not to mention twice the price of the synth...

and as you say..the bcr2000 can be used with multiple machines

so a no brainer really....id rather buy another synth than an expensive roland controller
