My Studio Turns One Year Old

[akg414]

Just wanted to share my studio and build with everyone. I didn't know about this forum while building, so my entire build progress is documented in the Sayers site. (link on home page of my site).

Hope you enjoy.

Looks good!

Do you have any problems with your Mackie HR824 studio monitors being spread out so wide? Just curious. I don't think I've ever tried going that wide.

Looks really good, dude. Love the Dat capabilities.

Question, I noticed you put a strip of tape on the toms and all over the snare. Is this for deadening for drum-replacement?, or is it to cut the ringing only? I'm still struggling with good tom sounds so they fit with the mix, sounds good till I layer guitar on them.

These pictures are actually kind of "one year old" as well

The taping of the drums was from an old drummer who liked to kill the sound of drums. That's why he's our "old" drummer.

Some new pics can be found here:

They're all close now. Yeah, they did loose a lot of focus when spread that far. Now that my expander is gone, I've got them in proper triangular fashion.
