    Studio looks great, Z! You’ve poured a lot of knowledge into us, you deserve to have a great spot, man. Also, on a random note, you also look really healthy too! Your face is looking really defined. Seems like you’re leveling up on all capacities. I love to see it.

    I would look into one of the door hooks that go over the top of the actual door, then hang your panel
    From the on the bathroom door. That’s gonna be the one that’s always closed unless in use. And since the door opens into the bathroom, it won’t be getting in the way of anything. And that hook will add much more structural integrity instead of mounting in on the door itself.

    You deserve this beautiful studio, big time! May you become truely inspired in every moment you spend in your new digs!!! And also, so glad you did some of those great mixes on headphones! I made a comment on another RUclipsr's mixing channel about how the novice engineer should not be spending money on studio monitors in a room not properly acoustically treated, and to get a good pair of mixing headphones instead. He told me to stop spreading nonsense! So, knowing that you did those great mixes on headphones, well, that makes me feel vindicated. Enjoy and keep the great music and inspiring videos coming! Best, Guthrie.

    I’m in the process of going maximalist. Upgraded to studio space with a live room. Sticking my kit in there and a piano. In fact I’m doing the exact opposite. This is because I’m a little older and only now have the resources to build out my fantasy studio of 25 plus years. Wish your new set up brings you luck.

    1. Where’d you purchase the panels?
    2. How heavy of a load do you drop on MacBook? Are you using a lot of kontakt like plugins? Is it handling it well?
    3. Have you tried using AirPods with the MacBook? Is there a latency? Can you actually work with them?

    @user-mu6uy6ly6e 13 дней назад

    Nice setup,,,I think you could move the panel on the window more fowardly. In this way it would not only absorb more low end but even out the surface a little bit. They look like panels from GIK. If so I am wondering if you feel the room a bit overdamped since you have a lot of absorptions or did you use the ones with the scatter plates?

Do you have it handle like 0 -100Hz and then the HS8 monitors for all frequencies above 100? I have a pair of HS5s and the HS8 sub. I used to do 0 - 120Hz w the sub and have the HS5s reproduce all other frequencies. Also, do you think it is 100% necessary to have the sub?
