MADcHATTER Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 My new Studio with Recording Booth is finally starting to take shape. I'm including a couple preliminary pics. I'm just waiting on my Acoustic Foam to show up and my new Effects racks. I apologize for the quality of the pics but I took it with my cellphone and its not that great! lol. Here I setup the basics of the booth, I have a Behringer Xenyx1202FX mixer, which will interface with the main Studio mixer board, and a Flat Panel Touch screen. I will be connecting Control speakers into the booth along with an overhead venting & Heat Exchange system which is alot quieter than a fan or even AC system. I actually made the wallmount for the Mixer and Touchscreen out of the metal back support from an old office chair. I will also have a Phone-Patch setup and possibly a NetCam. I have coolwhite flourescent lighting and will have a nice comfy cushioned stool! The mic is an MXL990 Condensor suspended from the ceiling with a vibration plate to cut down on vibrations and goosenecks for the arm. The Nady 8" windscreen and Impact Acoustic XLR cables make for great sound. I have a Behringer C1 large Diaphram Condensor on order also. Hard to believe all this is because of these dang voices in my head and people willing to pay me to hear them! lol I will post more as the work progresses!

JBVoice Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Very nice set up! I'm looking to turn my small walk in closet into a booth. -jb Jon Bova "Successful people have libraries. The rest have big screen TVs. - Jim Rohn" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Houser Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I'm not seeing a lot of treatment to that booth. With all that paneling, how are you dealing with the reflections your voice generates in that space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADcHATTER Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 The paneling has ½" polyeurothane sheeting behind them for additional soundproofing, I have 3 sheets of 54"x54"x2½" Acoustic Foam coming (it was cheaper to buy it by the sheet than by the 2' squares. I have a sheet cutter at my neighbors so we can cut them into squares. They will be mounted with double sided foam tape (this way it doesnt damage the paneling. I''ll have bass baffles in each corner. I should get between 7 to 10db additional sound absorbtion that way. I am also going to suspend a slightly concave plate that looks like a painters palette about 2" from the ceiling this will give me a nice subtle ambient sound from above. Got the Idea from studio 1 at Electric Ladyland studios (Jimi Hendrix's). Should be great for VoiceOvers and other vocal work! After the foam and all is installed I'll be putting a plexiglass window into the door with a nice framed shelf the door will also have the acoustic foam on it. I'll even have a Voicers Caddy to hold my water, throat spray, green apples slices and tissues. lol! The main studio i'll use the C1 mic for my shows and additional vocals and setup the Carvin M68 for guests and such! I've already got a simple Mic mixer for them. My next venture will be to add a new PC to the lineup hopefully with Pro-Tools so I can connect my studio with any studio in the world running pro-tools. This should really enhance my abilities and help me land more and higher paying gigs. I'll keep you posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADcHATTER Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 btw...does anyone know about a good inexpensive Phone-Patch that works with a regular phone and how to patch it into a mixer so I can hear the caller through my headset and they can hear me through the mic?

James Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 btw...does anyone know about a good inexpensive Phone-Patch that works with a regular phone and how to patch it into a mixer so I can hear the caller through my headset and they can hear me through the mic? Im doing it through the 2.5mm headset jack on my phone. One mono ring goes into my headphones, one mono ring sends my microphone into the phone.

MADcHATTER Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Not familiar with that particular one. I need something so a director can hear me when I talk into my Condensor Mic as well as the playback, I can hear him through my sony pro headphones all through my mixer.

frankallen Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Ive seen a few around on the market but it does depend on the phone you are using, If it has a 2.5mm jack as and output some place on it ? If so just use the standard jack to whatever your input plug is. Or if you are any good at solidering then you can make you own adapter but soildering direct connections to the outputs in the phone. Works very well by the way i went down this method myself but added a small pre-amp board with noise filter to improve call quality. http://i.imgur.com/qrEUBH7.png Check us out http://www.itsjustradio.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
