PART 3 - A: THE FURNISHED AND QUITE FULL STUDIO

WELCOME TO THE STUDIO !

It was finally time to move into my new space. It took me a week to get everything inside, again only working part-time. And another week to hook everything up and start fine tuning the place. Finished on Election Day 2008. An omen?

Here is the outbuilding. The two studio rooms are on the right, and the shop is to the far left.

Enlarge this one: See the shelf I screwed to the top of the interrior window trim and secured with three lengths of chain to the wood wall above it. It's strong, so it can be loaded down with three sets of speakers and lava lights!

This could be a control station when mixing sound. Right now it affords a great view of the musicians and allows air to circulate into the rehearsal space.

Here are a couple recliners we held onto, knowing we could use them in here one day. The "window" sound absorbers I built are covered with netting, shells, and lights. Above that is another shelf and a large, folding cassette box with a couple hundred cassettes, plus. Great listening position.
