Hi Pieca,
thanks for your kind words.

I'm having a great time with this renovation even if it is very time consuming (I'm alone and that means lots of workarouds to be found). I always wanted to redo the control room, never been satisfied with my mixes and always had to second guess or double and triple check my mixes in car systems, at home, on boomboxes. Very annoying.

I hope this time I'll make a jump forward and be able to mix and be 99% happy with my sounds without having to test'em on different systems. I know it's not an easy task and most of all it will be close to impossible to have a flat and true sounding control room with a low budget like mine, but there's no doubt it will sounds better than before. I had to read thru hundres of pages on acustic forums, pissing off lots of knowledgeable people (Gullfo on top of it, super nice guy, always willing to help out) and brainstorming around with what little grey stuff I got left in my skull, but I hope it will pay out in the end.

BTW, I already lost three paying clients having the studio down, nothing heart-bracking, but a bum nontheless. Will make that up in the future, or at least I hope so.

Last, but definetely not the least, it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg to put this whole together. Much less than a good compressor or a nice brand new mic.
