Started building my (small) studio

[Eduardo Apolonia]

I have installed all the rigid insulation on the Basstraps. It's Rockwool 70Kg/m3 (+/- 4PCF).
It has 2 layers, one of 30mm and another of 60mm.

Here you can see the 2 rockwool layers.

omfg! thats awsome!

Here is the last Rockwool that I will use,

it's for the ceiling panels.

All fabric panels before going to put the fabric.

The carpenter made this box. This will stay in the recording room, it's where the cables connect to the control room. It has a 8RU rack on top to put panels for all connections, in the middle it has a lid for easy access to cables that come underground.
It is made of black MDF, I've never seen it. But it will still be painted in black.

Speaking about cables I have ordered the equivalent to 33 x 8ch Mogami snakes!!!!
It will connect everything to 4 96 point patchbays.
I chose Audio Accessories Shorti Quick-Switch Patchbay DB25s.

I asked the upholsterer to do a Ceiling panel miniature finished example so that I could see how it would look like. And to correct possible problems that may show up. It is filled with foam instead of Rockwool.
This is the result of the miniature panel. (It has some imperfections cause it was made quickly with no attention to detail.)

I already have the fabric panels for the wall basstraps.

Tuning Ceiling panels screws before filling with rockwool and installing fabric

This is the hook on the panel

The difference in color of the 2 kind of woods to be installed

Panels covered up to protect from dust

Panels have fabric on one side and now it's time to fill with rockwool.
Some have 1 layer of 40mm and 1 of 30mm and the rest has 1 layer of 60mm and 1 of 30mm.

Meanwhile the wood floor is being installed.
This is the control room.

There was a problem with the floor. It couldn't be done without any problems!!!!
I asked for 2 kinds of floor but with the same height 19mm, but the company who sold me the floor and was installing it, got one in 18mm and the other in 17mm.
When I saw the difference it was too late and they had the whole 17mm and half of the 18mm installed in the recording room.
It had a difference of 1mm from one floor to the other, which wasn't good, so I told them that it wasn't right.
They had to take a row out of the 17mm so that they could desguise the difference in height.
They took half a day to get the this row out!!! the wood floor was glued to the floor plywood, it took some pieces of plywood out.
If I had told them to take everything out I think that they would have taken a month!!!!

The electric sockets have arrived and are ready to be installed after nailing the wall panels.

Uhh, that was a major fuckup from their side. Gladly the difference is only 1mm, as it can be pretty easily covered up

 

[Eduardo Apolonia]

Yes you're right, it wasn't very difficult, the worst part was to take out that row
