I just got back from Vegas.

I won $300 the last day and had some fun all up and down the strip!

Studio at the Palms was closed for repairs but the manager Samara gave me a tour around the place (I was drooling).

One thing that I noticed that made me extra happy, was that their studio doors were very similar to the ones that I got.

Their Neve from Abbey Roads was sick!!!!!!!!!!

Very Classy place!

more studio pics coming and some very cool news as well!

Seti808 · 11th November 2006

Speaking of the doors

Here's some pics of them arriving

Seti808 · 11th November 2006

The forklift almost flipped, these things were very very heavy.

yes Killahurtz shipping killed me!

True North · 11th November 2006

Nice, those are some pretty thick doors. They must weigh a ton. Thanks for posting more pics.

Nice work !

You are moving fast !!!!!!

I have a question .........

I noticed the warehouse ceiling is really up there , will your live room take advantage of the tall warehouse ceiling?

What will the ceiling height be ?

You are doing great hiring all those contractors to do the work , it makes it go fast

nice work,

steve

stevep · 11th November 2006

Isn't it great to see the puzzled look on those delivery guys faces when the semi rolls up and they say ,.... this ALL goes in there?

fun, they never do get it...........

Seti808 · 11th November 2006

Hey SteveP

My ceiling height in both rooms will be around 10 1/2 ft
from the bottom of the ceiling clouds to the floor.

How tall are your ceilings?

I kinda wish I could have afforded bigger rooms and a vaulted ceiling, but my budget didn't allow for that.

Also after visiting the Studio the Palms which seems to be getting great results
with non vaulted ceiling in the live room and not having really tall ceilings
I'm thinking this is going to work out just fine.

Can't wait to test this place out!

cww2 · 11th November 2006

Looks great Seti. Which island are you on? I visit a friend on the big island occasionally. Would dig checking out your joint.

Chase

stevep · 11th November 2006

You should be fine !

But........I would have used every last square inch of space i could have , floor space gets taken up so fast with these double walls.. my double walls have a 12" airspace in between them so thats allot of floor gone

My live room ceiling is 14 1/2ft , at the lowest point , (it slopes up )

And the same in the control room but above the false ceiling is a 3 ft airspace filled with Hangers

i kept my ceilings as high as i could, the air space in between the 2 leafs is 14" and keeps the airplanes out just fine

But the extra room has cost me more time and more drywall, insulation ect.......

it took me a year to build this room and you guys will be done before Christmas

Peace, and keep up the good work ! I cant wait to see those doors

Hey Chase
Big Island, Kona side

Check me out, would love to have you over

message me and give me heads up

cosmos · 11th November 2006

Looks great !!!

keep'em coming !

Seti808 · 16th November 2006

Update time

The good news = I sold some gear and scraped up the funding to get a
console.

After a bunch of research the Tonelux is making the most since to me and my budget.

I'm going to get a 32 channel Tonelux console, not fully decked out but a good start with room to grow.

Vintage King is hooking me up I'm very excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got some new pictures and studio info coming soon

Stay tuned

Seti:

I checked out a little Tonelux rig last week. I was uber-impressed. I had never even seen one before.

Very dreamy!

Good move!

Seti808 · 16th November 2006

You got to hear one?

I have been in email contact with some guys that have Tonelux rigs and they all had great things to say.

I can't wait!

anne_paranoid · 16th November 2006

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pier · 16th November 2006

Ok I got a day off and some free time, so here's some answers to some questions

The acoustic doors are made by IAC, they magnetically seal and are very heavy duty.

The floating floor was made by Kinetics, very cool stuff you just roll it out
and all of the pucks are in a square grid ready to go. The pucks were actually
a compressed fiberglass with neoprene coating on each puck.

If you need more details you can contact
