Resolved, located a branch that sells it at traders rate. Thanks for help again. After an extensive research on other forums (which I'm not a member of) I found some concerning information regarding health risks by having bass traps built from mineral/Rockwool.

Last question,😁, I now have a dedicated music room and ready to build traps, then maybe deflectors. Wickes sells Rockwool, and I'll be opting for 100 mm thickness. The problem is , the package or online description does not give how many kg/ m3. Does it matter? Or would the Rockwool work. My latest mix was mixed mostly on speakers, but lacks bass when listened in car. The room is currently not treated.

I ordered a boxed version of software from IK Multimedia as I prefer these things on USB rather than digital download. Ordered end of April. What normally takes 2-3 days , took a month. All the way from Italy, this was due to big C outbreak.

Very simple and to the point. I always find these short YT videos helpful, rather the 1 hour long ones. But, wasn't the screen black and white during silent movies?

There is an alternative option to get real drums, mics and treated room.

This, 9/10 I play guitar, so much fun and endless possibilities, well at least for me. Good luck and keep 🤟

I might move downloaded files on a dedicated external drive to free up space.

Happy new year BCrs. I decided to kick off my " music production" this year with the most neglected part in my IT arsenal i.e. file management etc. I tend to lump everything on my SSD drive, software, plug ins, tracks, user library the whole lot, leaving my HDD empty. My plan is to use my internal SSD for DAW software and plug ins. Then dedicate my internal HDD for tracks audio recording. Have an external SSD for samples and sound libraries and have a fourth external SSD for back up. I'm sure this topic has been discussed previously but I can't find a link. How do you organize your files etc. There are so many articles on this subject. Lastly, my download files folder takes up lots of GB. So , after let's say I install a particular software is it safe to delete the installer. Some websites say yes some have different views. in my case I use a dedicated gaming laptop with only 250gb SSD and a 1tb HDD. My DAW is Ableton. I found good articles on Ableton site , but would be interested to hear/ share how you folks manage you IT stuff.

Is the photo any good for a metal inspiration?

About 5 years ago I rerecorded a song we wrote in first band, almost 4 decades ago. I play all the parts, drums created with Ableton live. The instruments are played played better and it sounds better in new version. I suppose back then we did not have DAW.

I agree, but working full time with other commitments, i am not as flexible with time.

Well gents, I ordered a gaming chair, should the comfort disappoint me I will swap it for Marcus IKEA chair.thanks everyone for advice

Can I get away without measuring the rooms accoustics? The omnidirectional mic I found online is inexpensive but the found the process complicated.

On my days off, sit in my garden behind locked gates, absorbing sun rays, admiring my new plants/flowers, tree blossom and sipping my home brewed beer.

Thanks for replying. 6 months 8 hours still comfy, sounds good

I need to get a comfortable Studio/office/gaming chair for my music room. Preferably comfy, and folding arm rests to be able to play guitar/bass. My budget is up to £150. I know it's not a lot but I found some on Amazon. Anyone uses and can recommend a suitable chair? Thanks

Shocking news, what a loss.
