It should be accessible/affordable for anyone with an interest really.
We are revising our rates and services atm and we'll update the site at the end of the month. As we have had no costumers for this service yet i realise it priced to high. But we are flat out tracking and have a back log of mixing to get through, so things are picking up in other areas which is nice.
We all studied sound engineering & music technology together for three years, two of us continued our studies online wile one got a job for a year working along side a well respected mix engineer/producer in a busy studio, after that we didn't know what to be at really, so we decided to look for a place to work away from the kids, pets and crazy women in our lives then we found the wonderful John Sayers forum and Sketch up and it got outa hand real quick, if the rent wasn't so cheep id still be twiddling knobs in my shed.
So we've all had some formal education in the field but not to degree level, id love to continue my studies in a collage environment but the work coming through the door is paying the bills and is as good as experience as any i suppose.
We are working on a buskers album on our down time which is getting some interest, each artist records up to three pieces of original music, we compile and release the album, they get some free studio time and we get people talking about our spot, local radio should give it some time, and hopefully help towards any possible funding from the arts council for some badly needed gear.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback and listen mate, its much appreciated, just remember it doesn't really count until you click that wee heart thingy, ya cheeky sod ye
Any extra feedback on the site is more than welcome mate, we are only a few months in and still working out the kinks...
man, I'm not impressed cause that trumpet looks like it doesn't even have a cable connected to it !Root wrote:Let's get this thread started again. I found it, as i'm reading a lot about room treatment and monitor placement at the moment. So, here's my playground:
Haven't done anything about room acoustics yet, and the monitors on the table at the wall don't seem to be placed well, as well as the table. Thinking about getting stands, so i can at least put them left and right besides the table and keep a little more space to the wall. Any ideas? Or would this make no difference? The Genelecs have those isopad foots, which do a good job - my table isn't resonating much, even though it's a wooden one.
As I'll move in a new flat when I've found one, I then plan to treat the new room. So right now it would cause more trouble than it's worth.
Meanwhile, place your speakers right next to the wall as it looks you have some space between your speakers and the wall. You don't want that unless it's a big room.Root wrote:

Problem with that is those Gens are rear ported, so he will be trading phase issues for chuffing and other port related problems when walls come in to play. The room correction filters on the back will have to be switched in to try to low cut out the bass boost.Mattias wrote:

Worth trying both to see which is the most tolerable compromise.
Exactly. I've started to think more about my room and what i could do, but there are more dangs than yeahs. Seems like if you're planing your studio in your living room there are a lot of difficulties to manage and it's more about preventing the worst than about having a good room. I'll read about that measuring method by using pink noise and a mic at your listening position. Gonna try that now and move my monitors around and see what happens..Mattias wrote:Ah dang.Lost to the Void wrote:Problem with that is those Gens are rear ported, so he will be trading phase issues for chuffing and other port related problems when walls come in to play.

That's a note frequency chart to tune my eq's and filters and a list of the most common chords. It's nice to check for new ideas besides the ones that your used to.Hades wrote:also, what's on the paper between your left monitor and your screen.
that other piece of paper, that's probably those dots that go up and down a bit, right ?
fucking hell, you got the same problem as me !!Root wrote: And that other piece of paper, well, there are some strange lines and really weird dots on it. I thought it looks nice, so i put it there, even though i don't know what to do with it. Particularly it has nothing to do with that piece of brass standing there.
Damn, maybe we should get together and see if there is any sense if we combine those papers. The only thing i can mostly read in those sheets is the front - one says 'Arban: Trumpet and Piano'. Strange stuff, i don't get it.Hades wrote:my oldest says she has the exact same problem with her cello,
so I hope it's not some kind of disease that gets passed on in the genes or something...
