Owens-Corning makes it, for one; dunno if that brand is available over there, but there's got to be something similar. What Don said about just getting some of that & wrapping sheets of it in fabric could certainly work somewhat, but no better than foam - you need mass to absorb low freqs efficiently - a little bit better approach (if you don't want to build actual bass traps) would be to glue it onto MDF (medium-density fiberboard), THEN wrap that in some fabric for appearances' sake. Also, I have a few of the Auralex LNRD corner traps & I must say they work pretty well. IMO, though, he's got a bit too much foam happening there. I'm no acoustics expert, but I believe in minimal treatment... let the room sound like the room, just carve out the deficiencies, you know? Especially in that recording room/iso booth shot... is that wood on the floor (can't tell), and ceiling both? There might be a midrangey mode happening there; he's got no reflections from any of the walls & nothing but reflections between the floor & ceiling. If he wants a pretty dead iso booth he probably should throw down some carpet on the floor or foam up that ceiling, or both. How does stuff that was recorded elsewhere (like a commercial CD, for example) sound in the control room? Like it ought to, or does that come out Midrangey, as well?

Wrong again...the fibre board actually reflects the sound before it get a chance to be absorbed...hanging the insulation panels about 3" off the wall does wonders for abbosrbing mid frequencies and reducing the reverberation in the room. Also, I have a few of the Auralex LNRD corner traps & I > must say they work pretty well. If you check the corners of my diagram there are floor to ceiling bass traps and they are nothing more than two bats of insulation standing across the corner. Granted there are several variations on this theme including "tuned traps" but my panels worked remarkably well in taming bottom end issues....and a very inexpensive place to start... > > IMO, though, he's got a bit too much foam happening there. > I'm no acoustics expert, but I believe in minimal treatment... Maybe for the room you're recording in but from the standpoint of a control room the amount of insulation I used was just right...I fined the room to be very pleasing to the ear. Granted I could go all anal and get tuned absorbers and designed diffusers but this is just a home mixing room Also since doing this treatment my mixes now translate very well across all mediums. > let the room sound like the room, just carve out the > deficiencies, you know?

If he wants a > pretty dead iso booth he probably should throw down some carpet > on the floor or foam up that ceiling, or both. Carpets wouldn't hurt but once again I suggest these basic panels, if set up on stands would provide much more flexibility and controlled absorbsion than just throwning down a carpet. Don't get me wrong here, there are many products out there that can do a much better job at taming frequencies and taming room reverberation than my panels but I'll say this...price out an equivilant set up as is in my room with either Auralex or RealTraps and compare it to my cost...my setup is far from the be all end all but it does work > > How does stuff that was recorded elsewhere (like a commercial > CD, for example) sound in the control room?

It's fantastic, and I have never needed a dual boot again. I've gotten so carried away that I have virtual machines for everything from dos 3.3 up. Check this out... Some of my favorite images so far.. 1. FreeDos/Gem 3 system, running the orignal version of ventura I ran in 1989. Runs flawlessly. 2. FreeDos/VICE with autorun of VICE Vic20 emulator running my favorite vic games. Same for C64. 3. Suse 9.3 running openoffice and firefox. This combo covers 99% of my writing/browsing needs. 4. FreeDos/ suto starting MEKA Sega Master console emulator to run the games I used to play with my bro back in 87-88.

I remember several years ago posting that these characteristics are what I personally thought made Paris sound like "analog". I just wonder how much high end we're lopping off with the tape simulator thingy (IOW, how close is it to analog tape, are they altering the high-end frequency response curve, as well?), and also why they don't have a 30 ips setting on that thang?

(Stick your head in a box and say "Hello" -- yeah, that sound...) Low ceiling, square angles. Yuck. A friend of mine recently built a tiny room for a studio in his backyard. Nice little room, plaster walls, wood floor... A box. It sounded really truly awful. I suggested he get in touch with the "Real Traps" guys... He talked it over with them, bought a couple of their big corner traps, several of their regular panels, and hung them up... OK -- so -- now, the room sounds -- nine times bigger. If you close your eyes and talk, you'd think you were in a really much larger room. Not dead, not boxy, not bouncy -- just open and natural. It's the most striking example I've ever heard of the benefits of this kind of treatment. No their stuff isn't cheap, but it's like anything else -- if you want to really deal with this problem you have to get tools that work.

I think you've also heard some of my mixes in my minimally treated control room. Anyone's personal preferences as to how they'd mix stuff differently aside, I think it's pretty evident that they don't suck. The recordings speak for themselves. If there was one "right" way to treat everything, then every pro studio would have control rooms of identical diminsions & treatment, and there would be only one acoustics consultant in business... the ONE guy that was "right". NeilThere is ONE constant with DJ though and that is change!I'm getting some old projects ready for batching in WL so I can import them into my Cubase DAW before I start breaking down my system. Guys, if I didn't need the features in Cubase 4, I would't be doing this. I've been listening to Cubase pretty constantly with the Neve box for the last few days so I'm imprinted on the sound.

We'll see. I wouldn't mind losing this huge Furman HDS 16 system if Cubase can compensate for it, and it looks like this may be possible. The audio engine in WSX 4 sounds a bit better to my ears, but that may be just aural voodoo. The Neve 5042 definitely made the native system sonically better IMO. Switching in in and out on the mix bus is a very obvious improvement.

That's a pretty ringing endorsement LaMont!!!! I'm definitely leaning towards the 3200 and Cubase 4. The only client in my studio is me and I'm really just trying to get to a simpler workflow ,for the songwriting end of things, and still achieve quality results at the end of the process. Can you eplain to me in a little more detail how you (and apparently BT) would be/are using Paris as the master summing mixer/recorder in this scenario? I've currently got Cubase SX3 lightpiped into Paris via a RME 9652 ( a mini-Deej set-up if, you will) but being a guy who only gets to work on my stuff in the evenings after work or on the weekends, the opportunity for confusion in such a kludge ridden set-up doesn't lend itself to the creative workflow. That's why Cubase and a nice board/control surface appeals. My big dilemma though is that I still absolutely love the way Paris sounds. Anyway, thanks a ton for the input, greatly appreciated! I've got much to consider.

Dear Don in your sketch (your room right ?) there is no glass in beetween the monitors. In this studio there is. What would you actaully suggest based on this very control room and recording booth ? I am looking towards in building for him (I can actually use them too !!) these absorbing panels. According to all these information I would try this fiberglass compressed at least 5cm thick and put two of those to have 10cm thickness and 65 cm width and 1,05 m height and have them as you said 3 inches of the wall ... Just don't known yest how to hang them from the roof, but will read further all thos great sites information. Could you make a basic drawing (I am asking too much ?) of where you would actually put them according the photos I have psoted ??

The pathcbay (VST Connections) is super simple from my end including presets.I was considering the Moto8pre. The digimax looks nice too. These are $550 a pop. I got 10 1/4 inputs 10 1/4 ouputs 8 adat inputs 2 pair spdifs Right now with paris. All can be used at the same time. If I were to replace them with some Motu8pres using ADAT interface soundcard Hmmmm I dont know if Motu has spdif ins??? Anyway I would want a minimum of two motu8pres and I would need to sell my existing emu sound card for one that excepts multiple (at least two) adat connectors and has balanced 1/4 outs for my monitors. That will be somewhere in the ballpark of 1500-2000 deneros I figure.

OK., they sent me a reply (very nice! fast!): In response to my question about why no 30ips setting, they said: ***30ips was left off because there isn't as significant a difference between 15 and 30 when it comes to frequency response.*** And in repsonse to how much high end I'd be lopping off if I inserted their tape-ulator across my 2-buss, they said: ***On 15ips, 20Khz is down 3dB and the slope is about 3dB/Octave.*** So......... dunno if I want to hear that rolloff, but I might consider trying one. Sounds like you're getting a bit of excitement at 15k due to the pre-emphasis at 15ips, and a slight rolloff above that, with one of those units (in addition to the 300hz bump). Deej, does the 15k excitment come across as something like almost an "air-band" kind of boost?

Again, good sound. 3200 master (analog outs) into Paris MEC/442.. 24bit(input Card)..then 24bit out card..to master or internal bounce.. You can't loose either way you go.. Grat choice!! P.S. Put into an Argosy!!! :) take care. - 3200 out (Adat x 2) 16 lightpipes stems into MEC (with 2 adat cards).. For stem mixing. Very cool.. Very good sound. and provides a means of Matering within Paris.
