Title: Pride of Place!
Post by: Mike_S on October 14, 2017, 04:06:05 PM
Just got some work done on a small back bedroom (was using as my office/studio) and bathroom. We knocked the 2 rooms into one, making a bigger home office. It will double up as my little music room. Got a couple of guitar holders to put on the wall. We moved the toilet/shower into the small space under the stairs. Happy with the result!  :)

Looking good Mike. The guitars look great on the wall. The hardwood floor looks nice but I expect it will make your recordings a bit bright and reverberant. Are you planning to put a rug down later? Some soft furnishings will help too.

By the way, I've got that Rory Gallagher "Live in Europe" album on vinyl. I bought it in 1972 or '73. Great album!

I do all my recordings direct to computer, so never use any real amps, just plug guitar using an interface into the imac, so reverb won't be a problem - vocals might be a bit of an issue - but yes will be putting some kind of rug down anyway so shouldn't be too bad.

Good spot on the album cover 64, very impressed!!  :D

Looking good Mike,
It's good to start a room from scratch and set things where you want them to be.

Really fine! Nice left handed guitars - I'm a bit envious ;)

I had a recording space for all of about six months - the Nick Cave - it got overrun by toys when our little 'un came along.

It was never as nice a space as that though, that looks a dream come true.  I'm jealous.

Great start, look after the guitars and the rest will look after itself.  Willie

Nicely done. How crazy reverberant (is that a word?) are the wood floors? I ask because I'm think about putting wood floors down one of these days, and it would be silly were I just put a big rug over it.
