Rimskidog Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 There's been no building work for a few days as I've had sessions this week that couldn't wait any longer. We were about to do acoustic guitar in this one: [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/Rimskidog/E2C8A821-FD57-4BDF-B1B4-10926D2FFD8A-7624-00000A5D88812664.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimskidog Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 heheh. No young padwan. It's all about isolation. You'll remember we went to a lot of money, time and effort to isolate each room from the rest of the building. If we just put up the ceiling in the normal fashion we would effectively re-couple the isolated bunkers back to the rest of the building. For that reason the ceiling can only be joined to the corridor wall and must not touch the studios. Triangles make for a much stronger structure. You can see in this picture that the triangles dont touch the studio walls: [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/Rimskidog/DSCN8315_zps8a73ee32.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Oh right-ho, get it now, makes alot of sense, so you are using those to support the ceiling right across the top of all the studio rooms (they all already have their own high mass ceilings anyway, but for the sake of looking remotely professional you need to hide the 'old' space above without reintroducing anything for sound to be transmitted through thus ruining your hard won isolation. Well that makes perfect sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimskidog Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Oops. I've fallen behind on this. Here's how the corridor looked when it was done: [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/Rimskidog/DSCN8319_zps88c36fea.jpg[/IMG] And on this one you can see the 10 mm gap that runs the length of the corridor: [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/Rimskidog/DSCN8316_zps75f51fda.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Good work..! Now it looks like [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]it's just an industrial unit you are in. Very clever. [/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimskidog Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Lights are up in the corridor: [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/Rimskidog/DSCN8322_zps07aef291.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 How about making the gap a "feature" rather than people wondering why it's there. If you were to send a little coloured light down there for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimskidog Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 This week at Circle Studios we've had the very amazing drummer and percussionist Fergus Gerrand (Spice Girls, Madonna, Mike Oldfield, Duran Duran, Peter Gabriel, Katie Melua, Sting etc) in session doing drums and percussion: [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/Rimskidog/DSCN8363.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/Rimskidog/DSCN8352.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
