Studio Re-Fit - More progress
Well the Dummyhead guys have been in and out checking out how everything fits, and having their pictures taken.
Some of the new photos:
The new layout looks something like this:
The new studio layout does a lot to help reduce the apparent clutter in the room.. Much of this is accomplished through the “island” plan. The desk (which houses the D-3200 recorder and the computer), the drum kit, the organ, Paul’s guitar rig, Jim’s bass rig and practically all the mics are gathered aroud the center of the room, and all situated to have the performers facing “in”, rather than “out”. There are 4 vocal mic positions (one with a TalkBox tube), and mics on the bass amp and two guitar amps. The Hammond and the drum kit are wired straight into the D-3200 (stereo). There are headphone drops all over the place. Buck’s Epiphone amp is in the lower-left corner of the pic.
Any individual pic will not show the plan in its full glory, because the room is so small, but this arrangement makes what appears to be the best use of the available space, while still permitting walking room and space for sound to resonate, as needed.
