My new studio IS finished!


Recommended Posts

After 6 LONG months, It's finally done. It's pretty much an all in one writing, recording and rehearsing man cave. Having a sound-proof and creative space was my priority, and I think I was able to achieve that goal pretty well. Most of my audio gears will stay in the bedroom. I'll only bring in stuff that I really need. I hired out only for electrical and AC installation. Everything else was done by my amazing uncle whom I'm forever grateful to.... . I did the research and followed his instructions with my sissy hands like he calls it.

 

The internal space is about 18' x 19' or so (with ceiling peaking at 13') which is the biggest size I was allowed. It's a room within a room structure with double studded walls, double thick drywall, soundboard and cavity insulation and so on and so forth. I'm not going to miss working with silicone tubes for sure!

That is awesome!!! Congratulations to you (and your uncle!!!).

I have a decent little home studio in my living room, it does not compare at all but I can still be creative which is important.

 

 

Maybe post in this thread?

It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.

Thank you. I totally forgot about this thread. Sorry about that. I'll copy/paste the content to that thread instead and will delete this one soon.

This is still a great place for it, with the link added it will drive traffic to the new forum.

 

This is the busiest forum which is great but it would be nice to see some of the other forums pick up traffic, interesting things are happening!

Wow, beautiful. Congratulations Sam. Really an incredible space.

What Eric said - it looks absolutely amazing!

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL Sam - congrats! Did you fabricate your own panels?

 

Thank you very much everybody.

 

Yes, we made all the panels from scratch. I did the fabric shopping in downtown LA. Very cheap!!!

Congratulations, Sam! Place looks great.

Good job mate! Looks wonderful.

Congrats Sam! Great job. Love it. Enjoy

I was already prepared to tell you how beautiful it looks (and how beautiful it must sound) -- and THEN I saw the Kawai. Congratulations! Here's to many years of happy music-making in that space.

Wow, great work! Beautiful-looking space, may congrats to you and props to both you and your uncle for pulling that off. Doing it in 6 months is impressive, too - having built my own studio, more-or-less single-handed, I know how much work is involved.

Enjoy it!

can't believe you got that done in 6 months. What dedication. Most excellent. :2thu:

Wow! Nice job! :thu:

Stunning! Makes quite a statement.

 

Thank you guys. Yes, the amount of work is INSANE. You'll know when you see some pictures of how it looked before. On YouTube I see these latino workers lifting drywalls like a piece of paper...then hold it with one hand and putting screws with the other!!! I bought one of those drywall lifters instead. That's also what we used to hold drywall against the ceiling. Highly recommended!

Very nice studio, I am sure time flies by when you enter that studio and get lost in the sound !

 

Yes, it's very easy to lose track of time in there.

 

 

Sam, are the (audio) monitors Focals?

 

They sure are. Focal Twin6 be, but I don't have the sub just yet. I'm not sure if I need one.

 

Very cool, I love the color scheme and how you've laid out the space.

 

Thank you. Not everybody agrees with the red, but I like it.

(Insert Nord Lead joke here)

There's one in the picture, but it blended into the background. ;)
