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 when for maximum sound deadening since my space is small. I have a build thread in OT.

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.

Quietseal is what you're talking about and Lowes sells it. I used that too when I ran out of greenglue. Nasty shit too. And expensive. I also used the quietputty for the electrical gangwall boxes.

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

whut? i bought them together for like $300-350. i figured the PG300 was worth $100 and change !

maybe i got really lucky.... but this was off ebay, so i doubt it.

i looked on ebay and i guess the PG300 goes for a bit more now. so i'm going to backtrack a bit and say, "if you can pick up a PG300 for $100-150, i would recommend it."


to get back on topic, here's videos of stuff

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 )

It's been a long running project. I started it 2 years ago! It started when I decided to try designing my own pcb, and I decided to make an led display. (no, the displays weren't from TI) The summer after I made a little sequencer, in a little cardboard and hotglue case:

This summer I started on the one you saw earlier. Nice RS project enclosure, panel mount pots and buttons, MIDI (!), more than 2bit audio, etc. Its still a work in progress; buttons aren't wired yet, second output isn't wired up, programming is nowhere close to finished, but in the end I hope to have a huge step up from the one in that youtube video, something I could actually use in music production.

i'm a software engineer for a day job. music is my escape. building electronics is a right challenge and separate enough that i can dig into it on the weekends... but i've not quite ever wanted to combine coding with music, as music is what i do to escape coding.

most i do is stuff like this

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!

You might get better results if you place your monitors the right way up. http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar10/a ... 0310_6.htm

Sup High-Hat

It's a Roland HS-10 / Synth Plus-10 which was the "home" version of the Alpha Juno 1, it's exactly the same but looks slightly differently > instead of waveforms, envelope graphs etc written on the casing it has the preset names, it's got holes for a music stand and buttons look slightly different.

It's just cosmetics, internally it's the same synth... Mainboard say JU-1 and shares the same service manual as the JU1

No I don't have the PG but contemplated the Behringer BCR which one of my friends has and uses on his non fake Juno lol. To be honest I don't use the Juno as much now days and wanted to sell it to get something else at some point.
It's just one of these synths I had for ages and totally bored with, originally got it for 70 quid cos I couldn't afford another synth lol
I sampled a lot of it in the 3200XL especially the basses... I did however play it yesterday through a Behringer EM-600 and that was pretty cool

HS-10 on that chord through the behringer and lexicon verb and bass station is the legato lead

If I got a dollar for every time someone told me that or sent me a YouTube message about that, I'd be rich!

Why not fix it then? Seems weird to set up such a nice studio, but not position your monitors correctly.

There's nothing to "fix" It's my preference!

Quit being stubborn Hellfire! All of those hundreds of albums that you have mixed and satisfied clients are wrong! Your ear are deceiving you!

Absolutely, the comb filtering of the tweeters from having the monitors the wrong way combined with the cosmic rays from the moon and the ions in the air make your life hell to mix...

have you heard this? hellfire might be liable to damages if this beat were any hotter..

LMAO!
