PIcs of your cribs..

My new room

^^^^dope! hah, it looks like my spot, just cas its so clean. my spots always nice and neat like this.

whats that unit off the the left? a rackmount mixer or something?

Yo, what desk is that? Im diggin the new room homie, looks comfortable.

I'm not using the m-audio interface at all anoymore, since i got the firewire mixer.

i got a sound module and a cd burner right under the desk on that white block thing. module is midi-ed to the mpc and the keyboard.

im lookin to get a 2000xl or a 1000 as a compliment, and a mic pre in the near future. haven't been doing much vocals, but im startin to, so im lookin at some mic pre amps.

RE- The desk.
On the left is a Novation Remote Zero SL. - It's just a midi controller. They're pretty popular with the Ableton Live heads here in Europe.

Namotu, Nice pics

hey but what desk is that i need something just like that

Oh the actual desk. It's just the biggest ass desk I could get from a local business provider. The black speaker and iMac bit is an extension I made from MDF.

By the way, if anyone is making themselves a desk, I would recommend going slightly higher than "normal"; i.e 29 inches tall instead of 28 - it makes a big difference.

I'm no rocket scientist or professor in acoustic treatment, but I have read some, and I believe that:

Often you don't need every spot in the room to be "perfect", like only the listening position in a control room. The sound travels from your speaker, and hit certain spots that reflects the sound in another direction again, like your listening position. If you put the right treatment on those exact reflecting spots, you have a good listening position. You don't need good monitoring sound when you lie dead on the floor, unless you mix on the floor in that position... If you have a too dry/dead room, you would might add too much reverb on the tracks too.

The recording room or booth is different tho', and if they don't pad all the walls there I guess they want a little bit of acoustics in there. People are not used to perform in dead rooms, and it might be hard to perform right when their instruments act totally different from what they are used too.

But, thin titti-foam like that don't help too much when you want to stop bass-frequencies, they might just stop certain high frequencies.

Are there pads that prevent high and low frequencies from reflecting, or would you just place the high / low freq. pads strategically on the wall?

success more to come
