cheddatom Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 You'll have to take the guitars down when recording. It's looking really good though. I wish I could do this to my studio. I have no security on the building so can't really spend money doing it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombboy Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 I'll be collecting all the studio equipment from Bolton tomorrow, so today I had Terry.. probably the best joiner I have ever seen, round to install the desks and rack cabinets into the mixing room. The man worked miracles with weird angles to get 19 inches on all rack recesses. I've put a couple of rack units in to show his great work. Didn't use one nail or screw... all glued and rebated. Just a bit of finishing off to do. Hopefully it will be completed by the time I get back from up north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardHimself Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) hang on, you didn't glue the rack units in did you? Do you mean the actual rack space itself was glued in? Looks great though. What are you gonna put in the middle shelves? Edited February 21, 2009 by EdwardHimself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine this as a noughts and crosses board and I'll explain. Bottom left = Applemac Middle left and right = Mackie active balanced monitors. Top left, middle & right and bottom right = Various rack units such as PSU's, limiters, expanders, reverbs, samplers, patchbays, modelling amps, digital/analog I/O converters etc. (still need to split the top middle into two cases) Centre middle = Mac monitor Centre bottom - Mackie 24.8 desk with meter bridge.

EdwardHimself Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 okay. Couple of things though. One is that usually you would have the mixing desk, speakers and pc monitors on the side which faces the live room, with a corner like that used for rackmounted FX, preamps, the computer and stuff like that. The other issue is that usually recording setups have more than one PC monitor, the purpose being that you can have the arrangement on one side and a virtual control surface such as the frontend on your audio interface, midi noteroll, FX windows, stuff like that. Very useful. I'm just wondering from like curiosity and stuff, how much previous recording experience do you have? You'll definetly have to post soundclips, wave please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Tomboy, silly question this, but you're splitting the Top-Middle section so you can put more rackmounts in yeah? And you're going to be screwing the lips of the rackmount items into the front facing parts of the vertical parts of the shelving? Is the wood thick enough to fit 2 lips side by side or are they going to over lap? eg) <-rackUnit1->|wood|<-rackUnit2->, is there enough wood to fit both lips on?

The top shelf has an 'inner skin' as seen below. And yes, the units will be screwed straight into the (pre-drilled) wood. By the way... it's not all wired in yet. Just offered it all up to take the picture. Edited February 23, 2009 by tombboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The monitor didn't give enough clearance in the middle shelf. Trouble is, I've have a big hole to fill now. Something impressive looking with flashing lights... doesn't have to function!!
