    Suggestion, release the air pressure from the air system before you leave for the night. The less time the system needs to hold pressure, the more it will last. Highly recommend doing that. Other then that, great job

      @Patrick94GSR 2 года назад +11

      But then it has to run a lot longer every day to get back up to pressure. There are ways to keep an air system moisture free. Like automatic drain valves and filter driers. I keep my compressor tank filled at home all the time, but I have an automatic drain valve that purges any moisture out, a couple of times per day.

    Wow it looks like it's a brand new building at this point. Makes such a huge difference, good job! Might want to figure something out for the echo, maybe some thick black curtains that hang half way down the walls or something. Once you have more stuff in there it might be less an issue too though.

    • @switawivr6
      @switawivr6 2 года назад +4

      White canvas would work better, with enough extra length to make a 2ft repeating ripple to provide sound traps along the upper walls. Everything will catch some dust, but Black curtains are going look like dust-covered crap in a year's time, and videos need all that reflective white area to maximize the lighting for cameras down the working height.

    • @keithbroughton4476
      @keithbroughton4476 2 года назад
