Thanks Hotstuff

Yeah they are made from polystyrene, the same density the ones rpg are made. A little research in the market and you can find everything, for building are considered expensive, since the expanded is more popular.

I agree, i got a degree at classical piano, so 23 years now i play hardware keyboards, although i may do a small cheat (father forgive me) in the near future and buy a nord c1 combo organ, it is very light and i can use it for touring.

Some more ducts were installed for ventilation of the lounge from smoking (the only place where it is allowed)

We bypass one more duct from the live to the corridor for extra heating-cooling just in case we need more power

Painting is on schedule

We got some fire extinguishers for electric devices

Nikola,

I didnt want to hijack the other thread so I thought I d post this question here:

Did you ask for special permission and installation from the electricity company? (DEH....lol)

Thnx in advance
Apostolos

The electrician did the paperwork. You need to provide proof of the equipment you are using so you can excuse the 3x100A.

My loads are not at all close to yours...probably closer to the loads you need for the control room only...
I just wanted to know whether I got the option of the three phases within an urban area for some future plans that I got. The normal 3x63A would be more than enough.

Thnx again.

Where did you get those QRD, mounted to the wall? Did you buy them or made yourself?

We made them, it is easy and easy just time consuming, they made from polystyrene, but after they got painted they look like wooden

Hi Nikolas, this diffusors look great !
I think you had sheet polystyrene, how did you cut them, wich tool did you use, to get a smooth surface ?

This is the tool, common handle jigsaw

It is difficult to get extra smooth surface, there are some hot string cutters you can buy or make from a soldering machine, but they are going to be very slow too. So you cut it with the jigsaw and then you smooth them with some sandpaper.

As i said it is time consuming, but it is very cheap!!!!
this is why it was planned earlier, so things could be done in parallel, building the studio and the acoustic treatment at the same time.

Thanks a lot Nikolas

We got some safety lights and some lights for the corridor

Nikolas

fabricaudio · 30th March 2009

It looks like Gotham city

fabricaudio · 31st March 2009

We did some cleaning and then cover again the laminate in the live room for the last coat of paint. We also put the handle on the door of the machine room

New updates

We have been working the last two weeks with my brother Jordan in order to finish the live room. It is pretty much done, some small details left. We made the cabinets for the warehouse too and bought the couches for the living room.

Feels and Sounds nice!!!

That looks awesome... I wish I had a room like that to work in. I like the low slope near the drums... great idea.

Are you going to paint the walls at all or is it remaining white?

-Grant

fabricaudio · 22nd April 2009

Hi speakercoil

The low slope near the drums are a huge bass traps-absorber to avoid reflections from the corners and the windows. The same is from the other side on the control room window

The walls-wood frames (they were brown in the beigging) are already painted white-blue (the name of the color is ''cloud''). We decided to go with a neutral color and we can change the mood-color of the room with the led lights. We tried also some grey in the beginning but it looked like ''jail''.

Some more photos, with the fabric on the corners and different lights
