more metal, more booze!!!
Lots of work, a friend stayed with me at the studio for a few days
EDIT:
We had to do 2 layers of the fabric unfortunately, because it was too transparent and the ripple protection was black/dark so it looked a bit strange. It's still not perfect, and I hoped the boards would not be visible in the end.. but meh.
Remember there will be optical "compartments" with cherry/some other dark wood battens as a design element.
Also the slat absorbers and the tuned absorber in the lower back are still not finished

That's going to look badass once you get the wood spacers installed, and I don't think the wood being visible is such a bad thing. If you REALLY hate it, now would be the time to go back and paint them primer white or something, but I don't think it will really matter (especially once the veneer strips are installed).
Willing to bet the room sounds amazing already, too!

Those are a pair of Adam S3A and they sound amazing
Yeah, thanks for the input. It doesn't really bug me now, but it was pretty bad before we went with the two layers of fabric. Depending on the light I can't even see behind the fabric, and if so I don't really care. The veneer strips (that was the word I was looking for
) will catch the attention of the viewers more than the wooden frames, I guess.

if you dont mind me asking, minus the pro-audio gear how much has the build cost you to date as im looking at tackling this myself?
Honestly, I'm not really comfortable with spreading it over the net.. it wasn't cheap, but it could have been a lot more expensive if I hadn't done most of the work myself/with friends/family.. and hiring Mika (the studio-designer and acoustician) spared me a lot of errors and money, too. He was the most important factor in the whole building process, seriously! Money well spent.
The single most expensive things were air-condition, noise protection windows, the floor, and the multicore. Those costs differ vastly from country to country / vendor. I'm sure the AC can be a lot cheaper, but I needed one that could heat aswell and is quiet.
The next most epensive things are the small things: screws, brackets, clamps.... seriously
The thing is, if you hire a studio-designer you will discuss your budget for the construction, and if he's good (and your budget is realistic) he will manage to get below what you're aiming. I am still a few thousand below my budget (I instantly spent that on gear anyway
)___
Some progress today, we managed to finish a few things that are really time-consuming but not very visible
At least we finished the cabinet / locker (dunno how it's called really) and the couch.
I'd like to clean everything up a bit more, but it's 1 a.m. and I've got a band coming in tomorrow.. going straight to bed now, gn8 everyone.
PS: Oh and we hung the cloud a bit higher (the one in the back), the rooms instantly felt bigger. I will measure the possible impact on acoustics. Here's hoping it's not too bad.

Studio is looking amazing bro congrats on all the hard working and time you have been putting into it so far.

Looks great! Did you build the desk or buy it?
Thanks manStudio is looking amazing bro
The desk is bought from Wave Nature: http://www.wavenature.de/index.asp?site=Furniture
It's a very ergonomic design and imho very goodloking, too. I planned to build a desk myself, but the studio built itself is time consuming enough
Thanks ChrisAaah dude I´m jelly^^
We put in my studio window today, but it´s still soooo much to do. I´m demotivated. But I have beer
Yeah I read it on Facebook, awesome. Do want studio window I know how you're feeling, I felt demotivated probably 80% of the time haha. The work is just overwhelming, especially when you have other things to take care of (school,uni, in my case: moving etc). Think of the awesomeness in the end, and how you walk into the studio and know exactly how much work you've put into it and how good looking and sounding it is
Imho it's more fun than letting people build your studio, building it yourself makes for a whole new level of appreciation.
