Gearslutz.com - View Single Post - Tracking/Mixing engineer wants to build an additional "mastering room"

DSD_Mastering · 5th April 2007

I'm building a Mastering room and a Post room now. In the event that I need to do overdubs or VO, I can use the Mastering room for tracking. The rooms are front to front. The front glass in the Mastering room is 3/4"laminated and annealed at a 15 degree bend in the middle. I am building a diffuser/resonator to cover the window when not using.
You will want the room as symmetrical as possible with lots of bass trapping. About 1/3rd of my cubic space is bass trapping!
There are movable panels/curtains to alter the room response as needed.
Both rooms can share equipment via fiber optics.
Typically you will want a rectangular room with at least 300 sq. ft.
You will want no parallel surfaces and with equal amounts of absorption/reflection.

You can see my build HERE.

Regards,
Bruce
