Mix Room build!

Switchcraft · 2nd May 2007

hey guys, I have been building this mix room for an institution over the past few weeks. I thought I would post some pics of the room. I designed the layout of the room and have been working on it for quite a while. The room sounds great without the diffusers that I will be installing tomorrow.
The board isnt the best, but it actually sounds pretty good and never has any 'issues' something I am not accostomed to with large consoles. The place is a mess becuase it is under construction, but so far, this place is sounding great. Just playing CDs int he room is making me amped on finishing it out. There is a whole bunch of outboard and a pair of mains that I have not installed yet. HD3 accel, tones of plugs, lots of outboard (almost), and a decent mix room with a good sized vocal booth... The ceiling has black cement with huge cement Ibeams running through it. They are the support structure for a 1906 17 story train staion/management building.
thats it for now..

So which is it man?

Is it lots of outboard or almost a lot of outboard?

Switchcraft · 2nd May 2007

its both, it went from a lot, to what you see. Now I am working on a budget to get more. Or, To get what I originally spec'd... Then it will be... a lot... get me?

I try not to go over budget, but things come up.

looks like an otari desk. nothing severely wrong with those consoles, if it is. they'll get the job done.

best of luck.

I was just kidding.

The color of that door on the back left reminds me of my mom's lemon meringue pie. Good stuff. You might want some treatment back there or it could get a litlle slappy. Looks good. Tell us some more about the building - do trains still go through it?

Yes, the doors are the institution paint colors, Cant change that...

Check it out !!!!!
its done.

Finally, after a broken spine and 6 speratic months of work. I am not the studio designer, just the manager, but I guess I am both. Add that into the 6 other jobs I do there and I got about 8. needless to say, things take time.
But it is all fun.

Niiiiice job

a little darker than I would go for but color is personal choice. Layout looks good and functional. I really like the Space 1999/ Pyramids of Giza deflector thingys. Where did you get them? What are they called? Well done.
