Budget Linux Audio Studio Project

General - The State Of The Project

Mics, cables, stands, headphones and soundcards are in. I bought a Mixer from the classifieds that lists for 1000, got it for 550 (which was only about 50 more than I wanted to pay. It's a very nice Mackie 16 channel with 2 aux sends and 4 submixes. Should work out nicely. Next steps:
  • Get 12x4 snake (ordered)
  • Order Control Room Treatment
  • Construct Bass Traps
  • Order Monitors


The Isolation room now has all of the insulation up, and the first layer of sheet rock is up on the inside. Next steps:
  • Calk all of the gaps in the first layer
  • Put up first Outer layer
  • Put in the double door
  • Run snake and electricity to room
  • Add second layer of sheetrock with liquid nails (to absorb more vibrations)
  • Tape and float second layer of sheetrock
  • Put down Carpet
As far as the computer goes, I have several e-bay bids up to try and get the computer for a cheap price. I hope it works out, because low e-bay bids are pretty much the only way I'm going to be able to get this thing under budget :). Casey Peel donated (inexpensivly, I might add) a case, SCSI Controller and HDD over the weekend. Thanks, Casey.
