I like the plan and the thought to be modular. Sound be the principle goal, start with a big a space as possible for things like drums, pianos, and strings.

Squares and rectangles are hard to work with as you have to deal with standing waves and room modes. Slanting the wall in the drum room was a great idea for my room, and I am so happy I did it. But it took years after that to really fine tune the room, find sweet spots for instruments, and even learned to open the door into the lounge and sticking a mic out there when using room mics.

More things changed in that I put a huge, double paned glass between the studio and lounge. One pane is 3/4” and I built the frame to fit. I wired the lounge for mics and headphones. There is a piano here now! I had to double that door.

Then it started all over again. I had never treated the lounge for sound. So I did cheats to make the corners disappear by mounting wood and hung a series of panels to make the floor to ceiling physics non-parallel.

Also as my ears got better and acquired more and better gear, they cycle almost renews.

I won Larry King’s old analog console on an eBay auction for a song, bought a couple of more for real cheap, and combined all the best parts into a new console, and redesigned my control room around this beheamoth. That is the third transformation of the studio in 10 years.

These days I am working with great artists, making great music. I have an amazing affiliation with VSI Audio and I have all of the prototypes and are using/evaluating them for VSI before we/they release them to the world. As good as they are now, they keep saying “let me change one more thing, you’ll love it.” They have always been right.

Ahimsatpr, good luck with your endeavor. Getting it to work is no easy task, neither is getting it to sound good. Trust your ears, and be patient!

Love on 4 Paws brings dogs to hospitals and other health care facilities for patient visits. The dogs are fully tested before being accepted as therapy animals.

I have been doing this for a few months now and I really enjoy cheering up the patients by sharing my dog’s abundant love with them. My dog Spotty is a very special dog. She has three legs, and she is an amazing inspiration for children in similar conditions.

The positive Karma is something that I needed to add to my life.

I belong to an organization called Love on 4 Paws. What we do is take our dogs to the hospital to cheer up the patients. The dogs have to go through testing to become a therapy animal, and there is training involved, but the look on some of these people’s faces when they meet my dog, is indescribable.

I feel it is very worth while because inside I feel I get back more than I give.
