Rimskidog Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Sweet! I actually have a pair of bm5a but don't use them. There's a big hole in frequency response right at the crossover point. My mentor introduced me to the Adams a few years ago and I never looked back!

Which one?[/quote] Sadly not, we have an Otari Elite, a Raindirk Symphony and a stack of the Audient ASP's which are very decent desks for the little money they charge, we also have Digi C24's and a few Mackie DXB's. Our main problem (as ever) is financing big desks, I can build a couple of new rooms fully fitted for the price of a decent API. I've used API desks in pro-land, lovely chunks of kit that they are. You can see some of our rooms here: [url="http://music.tvu.ac.uk/index.php/virtual-studio-tour.html"]LCM Studios[/url] These are a few yers old now, and we have updated the labs and some of the other rooms, but not the website as yet, we don't have the Sony desks anymore.

Rimskidog Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 anyways... Took a proper camera down today so thought I'd give you some better pics. In the first you can see that the booth still has a lot of work to be done. Windows need to arrive and be fitted (I have just cut some 4 inch blocks of rockwool and placed them in the aperture for the time being) as does the door. Inside the framing and trapping still need to be done. Electrics and lights also need to be finalised): On this next one you can see that the ceiling is painted, the fire alarm sounder and strobe has been fitted, and one of the cheap bulbs I put in has already blown: And finally, this one's just a slightly better quality version of a shot you've seen above (save the kit isn't mic'd etc this time). It does give you a pretty good perspective on the height of the room though: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 My kick drum sounds seem to be my biggest issue. Could I make a sub kick out of a hi-fi speaker and a drum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount it on a stand[/quote] mounting it in a shell approximates a cardioid pattern, open backed it's decidedly omni... I jest, although it does sound a bit tighter in the shell, and it's easier to store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
