My studios construction has started!!!!! - Page 4

Duffster · 26th June 2006, 10:55 PM

Well things are getting close to done. The live room here just need the doors, acoustic panels installed and the lights to be put up and it is ready. The sound prrof doors arrived today and 2 out of 8 have already been semi installed.

Duffster · 26th June 2006, 10:58 PM

These are two of the doors being installed in the area between the control room, vocal booth and hallway.

Duffster · 26th June 2006, 11:03 PM

This is studio 2 which will curently be used as a rehearsal studio. Within the next year or so I plan on turning it into a mastering studio. This room is the same size as the live room in the main studio but the ceiling is lower. The carpet and diffusors for this room will be installed as soon as the painters leave.

Finally after much trouble and a company that sold me a service that they don´t do..... I got the A/C holes and cable holes drilled into the control room and Vocal booth floors. Cabling has started and the equipment should arrive soon.

stevep · 12th July 2006, 10:25 AM

Nice

Cool looking floor !

Duffster · 19th July 2006, 02:55 AM

Well not the most exciting picture but it is something else done. This is the fader pack that controls all of the lights in the studio rooms upstairs. The solo buttons were replaced with normall on/off switches, and hopefully the wooden and support for it will be finished next week.

bcgood · 19th July 2006, 03:33 AM

Wow, look at all of the room in there...

Duffster · 20th July 2006, 09:01 PM

Well, the security fences and spikes went in today along with the base coat for the graffiti . The put a layer of pink before the red... so the building looked a little funny for the last day or so.

Duffster · 20th July 2006, 09:04 PM

This is what the red that will be the base. The graffiti starts on Monday. The graffiti will take two or three days to do. I hired a graffiti group here called 013. They are incredible well respected and even go on tour with one of Brasil´s biggest rock bands and do Graffiti on the stage during the show. Should end up looking really cool.

Duffster · 26th July 2006, 04:14 AM

Well the graffiti started today but unfortunately I could only stay for the first 20 minutes. The city electrical company also finally showed up to give me a real connection, so now I will finally have regulated power.

djui5 · 26th July 2006, 05:30 AM

Looking good my man!!

The graffiti continues. Really cool to watch these two guys working. This is all free hand, off the top of their heads... great stuff.

Duffster · 27th July 2006, 03:04 AM

A little later in the day

Duffster · 28th July 2006, 02:22 AM

Tommorow the graffiti is finished and the along with almost everything else. Electrical is done along with the painting. If I am lucky the acoustic panels will arrive this coming week and be installed and then I can bring in the equipment, which is currently livving in the game room at the in-laws place.

Great job man!

How many of you are involved with this?

Is it just yourself who has done all the planning?

Duffster · 28th July 2006, 09:07 PM

Graffiti was finfished today! The guys managed to finish with enough time to put an image in the backyard.

Duffster · 28th July 2006, 09:09 PM

This image was painted in the backyard. It is a present for my wife who loves pirates. The two dudes in the photo are the graffiti artists

ryguydrum@netsc · 28th July 2006, 09:34 PM

Dude, all the artwork adds a really nice touch to the exterior of your
studio. Rock on! Keep it up!

P.S. Also if any flakey musician complains about not being able
to find it or they are lost, you have created quite a visual
landmark and they will have no excuse

Beyond my two partners, I hired a architect and an acoustic designer. The overall look of the building in and out was planned by me and my partners and the architect. The studios were all planned and designed by me and the acoustic designers. I have managed the building process, and my other two partners take care of the money end of things.
