VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

[Gp]

Well it took me a long time but I finally got my studio done. I'll be raising the desk some but other than that it is for the most part done. Here are some pics. Hope this works, this is a link to gearslutz with my pictures. There are also some really nice places if you look through the thread. This should take you right to my post.
Now all I need is work!

If it doesn't take you right to it, mine is post 653.

Bob, dscott, thanks for the kind words. It's a little difficult to tell what is all going on in there. It's a small room with lot's of treatment. It sounds wonderful too. I may post a sample later.
Having done the acoustics I have to say what an incredible difference it makes. Not just in what I record but also in what I can hear.
I am able to hear things I never could before. The subtle differences between highend mics. Like those posted on a forum somewhere in a wav file.
for example.

Looks cool, and i bet it sounds sweet! LOVE the monitor mount -- very creative!

[JBarrett]

Very cool indeed! I'd love to know more about how you set this up, including the monitor mount. The latter looks like a MacGyvering of hardware with a pre-made bracket.

It looks grand. I know it's been a while putting this together. It must feel great!!!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone it is much appreciated. It was a long haul to get it done.

The microphone mount is actually a piece of Threaded black pipe ( a plumbing item) with a flange on the bottom to mount it to the desk and a cap on the top. I screwed on the flange and screwed on the cap. Voilà! (all from the plumbing store for under 20.00) I then painted it with some black wrinkle paint. I had the swing arm monitor mount from my previous set up and for the time being it is hose clamped to the piece of black pipe. I just haven't gotten round to drilling two holes and putting bolts through it.

All the pieces except for the black part of the desk are things I made. The desk itself started out as an Argosy Raven. It's been a lot of fun to do but I have back problems so this took me about 3 mos longer than it should have to get it done. I learned a lot and that's always fun.

The JZ Microphones, Black Hole, BH3 is here for review. I will post the review once I finish it. I really like it. I will also post a sound file for you.
Having the room acoustically treated makes a WORLD of difference. Not only do I sound better, I am able to hear things so much better now that when I listen I have to make sure I'm not hearing things.

Thanks again everyone. I really appreciate it.
