We are already enjoying it very much! it’s the calm before the storm right now though - the movers will be here in the next hour. I’m excited to have places to sit and my computers up and running sometime today. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 So far we’ve talked about the move, and that’s great; welcome to the PacNW! (interestingly enough, I just left the great NW, after 45 years and returned home to the Golden West, but that’s another story…) What we haven’t discussed is your new studio. Are you looking for design help, or design and build help? There is a forum member, @Glenn Stanton, that was very involved on the the old John Sayers design site, you should at least have a conversation with. best wishes for your new home, t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a consult with a design company in a few weeks. It’s a company out of Indiana recommended to me by Sweetwater rep. I did my last one and it came out well but this time I’ve decided to hire a professional to do the design for both acoustic treatment and sound containment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Here is a link to the John Sayers website. John passed a few years ago and the website went "dark". An archive has been reconstructed. There's a lot of good info there. Glenn was quite active there and knows his stuff. Best of luck with the new build. t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Glad to hear the move finally happened without anything major to report. My wife and I just got the inside of the house repainted. I thought everything would go back the way it was... Well, that ain't happening! She is ready to get rid of a lot of stuff. So we will be making some trips to Goodwill and also make a refresh start!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything we unbox is something we chose to bring with us; I like the vibe of unpacking like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallstonefan Posted July 4 Author Share Posted July 4 (edited) So I packed my little isoAcoustic stands that sit on my Argosy bases but I lost track of what box they were in. After opening every single box, it occurred to me that I overlooked them. I finally found them (after reviewing so many boxes) and was able to hook up my Barefoot monitors. I haven't had then hooked up since the flood back in like February. I am actually quite surprised at how good this room sounds before any acoustic treatment, and it's such a treat to be listening to music on a quality system again! It's in its infancy, but the new studio is alive! Edited July 4 by smallstonefan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I see an opportunity to move the desk in front of the window and completely fill that blank wall with a modular synth! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 OK, I see some UAD boxes!! One looks like a satellite, the other I can't tell. Then it looks like you got a RME Babyface on the left of the desk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it looks like you got a RME Babyface on the left of the desk? Good eyes! Those are two UAD octo satellites and I have an RME UFX III in the left rack. I recently switched to RME from a UAD Apollo. I have the desktop control for RME but it’s lost on the left of the desk. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way crazy man - I want as much natural sunlight as I can get! As it is the album storage takes away too much window so that’s going to change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallstonefan Posted July 26 Author Share Posted July 26 OK progress! I've decided to hire Haverstick Designs (https://www.haverstickdesigns.com/) to do the studio build. The budget is about 4x what I planned for, but honestly it's the big shining thing I worked so hard for when growing our company and I decided I'd be nuts not to go for it. They guestimate 9 to 12 months for the work. I'll post updates here as we move forward... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
