Westie9 Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 What a great topic. Like the others, I started reading it and before I knew it I was an hour in and couldn't wait for the development and the pics. Extremely informative. I wish you every success and who knows, I may require your services in the future...... Quote

You'll get there mate, you know you will! Quote

Ever tried recording to ADAT live in a garage with minimal overdubbing, no heating, no soundproofing and no monitoring? Now that's interesting Quote
Rimskidog Posted June 22, 2012 Author Posted June 22, 2012 Thanks guys. Unfortunately (on this occasion) the client is an A list-er, used to only the best, and holding a contract which contains penalty clauses. I just know this is gonna run to the wire!! Quote

[/quote] I did. Unfortunately, I didn't think about tying them together and the recording contract has much steeper penalties than the building contract!! Quote

Rimskidog Posted June 23, 2012 Author Posted June 23, 2012 About a cubic mile of insulation arrived. It now fills every spare room in the whole place. Incredible to think it will all go into one room: [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/Rimskidog/df989424.jpg[/IMG] Quote
Rimskidog Posted June 24, 2012 Author Posted June 24, 2012 Oops, almost forgot. The floors in the three production rooms got screeded last week (sorry, crappy photo): [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/Rimskidog/DSCN7437.jpg[/IMG] Quote
Rimskidog Posted June 26, 2012 Author Posted June 26, 2012 Finally stuff starts to get interesting as we start to frame the walls: [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/Rimskidog/DSCN7426.jpg[/IMG] The carpenters found getting their head around all the different angles pretty hard going but once they'd got it they were brilliant. Here's a bit of a closer shot: [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/Rimskidog/DSCN7428.jpg[/IMG] Quote
51m0n Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Are the walls going to be 'stepped' then? All to do with killing any ring and getting a more diffuse reverb? Rather than aiming to bounce the sound down a path away from the engineers ears ( as in a lot of control room stuff). Or am I completely missing the point of making the poor carpenters work so hard Quote
Dad3353 Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Just an accident, really. They were about finished when they realised that he plans were creased. Quote
charic Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Starting to get properly exciting now... When the band hit it big and we're on the road to becoming multi-multi millionaires* I'll try to make sure we can record here [size=1]*we may not make > £5 (this is our income to date)[/size] Quote

Heheh. No need to be a multi-millionaire though. I sometimes do sensible rates for unsigned bands that can use up my downtime.

Rimskidog Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 In other news, the side wall gets rockwooled (is that even a word?!?) and boarded with OSB: [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/Rimskidog/DSCN7447.jpg[/IMG] And with a bit of distance: [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/Rimskidog/DSCN7448-1.jpg[/IMG] Quote
