Acoustic curtains and foam panels are in place. Next is insulating the ceiling. Already a big difference! Pics coming soon once I get things tidied up.

Carpet will be done today. Need to work on wiring and lights next. Getting closer!!!

I’ve had the KRK Rokit 5 for many years. Still doing well, but decided it was time to upgrade. Kali Audio 6.5″ (LP-6) Monitors are on the way!

So I’m not looking to rent or lease an office space at this point. However, I still want to continue perusing recording at home – for both me and clients. While not the most attractive space, the basement is a solid foundation and I can add the acoustic treatment for when I’m mixing. The tricky…

As part of the program it includes the full version of ProTools so I’ll…

So, the wife knows, but even she took a turn on the kit. Another goodie I’ve added is the Presonus Faderport. For a one-channel controller I like it, but still have some integration issues for my setup as of course, like most, are all geared to ProTools, or for Presonus, their Studio One DAW. I’ll…
