Started building my (small) studio
- Thread starter Eduardo Apolonia
- Start date
6000
I have been checking to houses here in the neighbourhood where I would probally want to live. I had sort of a 2000 euro budget maxed out on the airco. I know that also here in Holland by having an "approved" brand will get you 30 or 40% in return from the government, because of health and environment issues. I know Daikin actually is one of those brands.
My room probally won't be so exclusive as yours, allthough yes, having a good HVAC system is really nice.
Will you have 1 or 2 rooms?
If it's only 1 room I think that you could easily get to 2000Eur or if you use splitters in 2 rooms
Me too!!!
No bills here!!!!
My pleasure!!
The entrance door was replaced by a new security door

Argosy replacements panels have arrived.
Back to assembling the console.

Those argosy consoles intrigue me from a woodworking POV. I know they're only on a par with flat-pack catalogue furniture but I like the way they're constructed and wouldn't mind having a bash at building my own at some point. At the moment our Soundtracs console is sat on top of a glorified MDF table with a couple of hastily built racks on top as we needed to get up and running quickly and not spend too much time on pro-looking furniture.
Any chance of some detailed assembly shots so I can steal their designs for my own personal use?

What's the lock are you using on your new security door? Based on your other gear, I bet it's something really nice
Man, I have to congratulate you on your fantastic studio. It looks so damn professional and classy, without going too over the top. Cannot wait until the desk and racks are all hooked up. Its truly inspiring! Makes me wanna start saving for such a project....
Wow, you must be one of the best drug dealers in portugal to afford to build such a beasty studio...
Also congrats from me, i imagine you wont be getting much sleep when you finish ... i think i'd be getting a big ass comfortable chair so i could pass out on it everynight when i ran out of energy ...And just like you... can't wait to see it finished!! (+ hear it finished too).

Argosy have been extremely kind and helpful in solving all the problems that appeared so it wouldn't be a good move from me to do that. sorry
You can always ask them if they could give you the plans of the console.

Of course!!
It's a Fichet-Bauche door. It's an armored door, all metal besides the cover, it feels like a money safe door.
It has central lock + 4 solid steel locks
Some detailed pics for the thieves
Thanks

No but I make part of a family business
Thanks for the congrats
I already have a very comfortable chair
Already managed to saw the screw tips that were on the cable channels
This was the improvised metal saw that I did
It had to be a long saw but thin and flexible, so this did the job
2 of the 4 screws tips sawed
Now I can continue to pass cables through!!!
While I'm finishing the assembling of the Argosy console and passing cables this is what the recording room looks like.
What a mess!!!
Console assembling is near finish

They already post a basic plan on their website, I can figure out most of it from that. I was only semi-serious.
I'd still need to do most of the hard work myself.Argosy have been extremely kind and helpful in solving all the problems that appeared so it wouldn't be a good move from me to do that. sorry

I know, and there isn't anything special about the construction, it's mostly the design and finish quality that makes it "special"

I literally mean the desk that your sitting in front of that is holding your rack equipment and your S3As are sitting on
Is it an Omnirax?

2 rooms, but I will probally use a splitter and not a seperate system, which offcourse is much more expensive..
Thanks for the input on this!
Your studio is really shaping up...it's looking awesome!

No, It does look like an Omnirax but it isn't, it's a MTS (if I'm not mistaken), I don't know if they even exist anymore.
You should use 2 separate systems so that the sound doesn't travel from one room to the other through the conduits.
I'm just waiting for 4 bolts and 4 screws for the Argosy console that came wrong. Again Argosy promptly mailed the bolts to me.
The Console is totally assembled (without the 4 screws and bolts).
I forgot to buy some cables, and some accessories.
I will have to wait for it.
Meanwhile I passed all the cables that I had through the channels.
Rack 2bay box
Rack 3bay box
Console box
Recording room box

Sounds stupid but how on earth do you get the cable through the channel? Probably a knack to it i'm unaware of
I tried a lot of things:
Fishlines didn't work because the channels are about 25cm (10") wide the wire would curl and wouldn't go through.
I used for a some cables a hose, but it would sometimes also curl and wasn't easy to get through.
So I tried to imagine what would go straight and make curves if I need, and the answer was..... measuring tape!!!
It was way easier to pass the cables through than any option I tried.
I would pass the measuring tape from one end to the other, then tape the cable to the measuring tape and then pull the tape with the cable attached.
