I started building a small studio - Page 8

Ibvee · 27th December 2007, 02:27 PM

Great!
Starting to question what I'd like to have more, a great environment (nice floor and such) or a great desk....

I think both

Farout · 27th December 2007, 04:21 PM

It seems like a fitting time to complete the studio: The new year! That will be a very, very cool way to bring in the New Year, too!

Can't wait to see how the Argosy stuff looks!

Thanks for the new pics, sir.

Take care.

Almost but not yet, still on final touches

Still waiting for Argosy furniture and Cables from Redco.

Some ceiling panels on place.

Farout · 2nd January 2008, 06:59 PM

Those colors look really good together.

Matthew Murray · 4th January 2008, 01:38 AM

Looking Gorgeous Eduardo!

Factory101 · 4th January 2008, 02:49 AM

Nice abstract shapes and colours - the red adds vibrancy.

GordZilla · 7th January 2008, 01:07 AM

Eduardo trabalho fantástico!

Your choice of using the four different colours for your traps is very very nice! It will be such a beautiful place to make music in... and will undoubtably sound as great as it looks too

I am inspired

Keep the pics coming Eduardo

Faderjockey · 7th January 2008, 03:52 AM

The choice of colors I did was done from 3 complete suggestions from Pilchner Schoustal.

EduardoApolonia · 9th January 2008, 12:09 AM

All wall panels are in place

Lights are on!!!!

Panels have some dust :(

Change in plans.

I'm installing hardwood floor on the control room where it was supposed to be carpet.
There was plenty of hardwood left from the Recording room so I decided to order some more and have it installed in the control room instead of carpet, adding the fact that wood floor is easier to mantain than carpet.

So they already started installing the floor.

SK1 · 12th January 2008, 04:30 AM

Tight place man. I'm tired from just watching ...... over a year in the making

.

You're quality is going to go through the roof.

Well deserved. Congratulations !!

mjames4208 · 12th January 2008, 05:24 AM

how much hasa this cost to date, in U.S. currency?
its very inspiring.

Chris G · 14th January 2008, 02:27 AM

yeah... have fun with the argosy furniture build. It might take as long as the studio build did!! I had 16 or so boxes to assemble and it took at least a week by myself along with all the other studio crap I had to do.

I lost the count of it but it has cost me so far about €100.000. That's almost $150.000

I know, the only Argosy furniture I have is a Rack n Roll and I remember that it took me some good time to get it assembled

EduardoApolonia · 15th January 2008, 12:07 PM

Last week problem (I couldn't have a week without a problem)

The electrical socket hole was done on the wrong place, it got the edge of the isolation box. This one was my fault, I gave the wrong measures.

Check measures twice, then make hole
Check measures twice, then make hole
Check measures twice, then make hole
Check measures twice, then make hole
Check measures twice, then make hole
Check measures twice, then make hole

But the good news is:

The Barefoot monitors have arrived!!!!!!

Farout · 15th January 2008, 01:52 PM

aw yeeah!!

Looking great, look forward to the final pictures

EduardoApolonia · 17th January 2008, 01:30 AM

I didn't take them out of the box yet

.
I don't have space to put them, I don't want to risk somebody damaging any speaker

I can take a picture of the manual

EduardoApolonia · 17th January 2008, 01:31 AM

The sucupira wood on the back of control room floor is done. There is only one little area on the front that is missing. But the wood that I had has finished, so I'm waiting for more to arrive.

The wood base is all installed all around where the floor is finished.

You're right, it would be a shame to damage them because of lack of patience

The floor looks really nice, and goes well with the colors of the walls

sirthought · 17th January 2008, 08:03 PM

I'm so impressed with all of this... and jealous.

You must be very proud.

I hope the property is something you can hold onto forever. Your kids are going to have to go into the family business because a place like this doesn't come along easily!

elektrasoul · 18th January 2008, 09:59 AM

Hi, This room looks great!

I am about to embark on a garage conversion myself (although not on a professional level like this) and was wondering if anyone else has done something similar.

I currently have one half of a single skin masonry double garage. Heres my rough outline –

Floor slab: laminate/carpet on plywood on chipboard (maybe with additional plasterboard layer between) on 50mm timber joists (maybe on rubber packers?) filled with rockwool.

Walls: 50mm cavity (maybe increase cavity at middle wall) filled with rigid insulation. 50mm timber studs (maybe closed back with 9mm ply) filled with rockwool. Plasterboard (maybe double up and/or use soundchek depending on cost).

Roof: horizontal rafters – double layer rockwool between trusses and p.board as per walls. spot/downlights.

Doors: External solid timber door + internal fire rated door with additional layers of plasterboard (maybe use rubber seals).

Window: External double glazed window, approx. 500mm high (full width of existing garage door). Internal single glazed (maybe with shutters).

Electricity: dado trunking all around.

Would this achieve a similar insulation value? Any other help/ideas?
