Ok I just for the bill for the room, for a giant white box with a lid, it sure feels like a bottomless pit. I am not saying figures but it is eye watering. Greater than spec insulation, fancy schmancy acoustic plasterboard and weird-ass plaster, decoupled inner frame and a helmholtz frame unit tucked away way high above in the ceiling void = near mana casualty costs. If you can equate that in money-to-mates-lost-contact-with on the open market its neck and neck.
Glass wall will no doubt have the know-it-all fishies shaking their heads, (please don't graph me to oblivion, chillax we have a plan... acoustician had a look yesterday and did some preliminary readings on the empty room and reverb impulses, horrible as expected but not as horrible as she had expected and thinks we won't need those skyline thingies which personally is a dissapoint as they look dead serious. I may insist. In fact I will insist.
The mixing desk is being decoupled from the rest of the room which I could pretend to be serious ass stuff, but in reality we did it because that part of the room's floor was ruined after a year open to the elements so we needed 6" of pure conk dumped into the floor space on top of 2" thermal insulation and 1" of acoustic insulation, it has a resonant mode of very low hz (according to calcs which are downstairs and I am upstairs and not getting out of bed for) anyone with half a brain knows what a lot of conk that requires.
Nearly there, now my first string quartet recording in there in the summer. I really like the opticool that Martin Clark of this parish recommended. The glass wall is a nice touch. Plan is we drape that for record/playback and pull to reveal field of ponies and electron pump.
Not bad for a living room and workspace.
Still a head****. stuff is butt clenchingly expensive these days am glad it's not my money.
Gear cost wise, irrelevant, gear is irrelevant blah. Living well is more important.
