Welcome to my studio! This is where I work! 

I started writing this a while back. I am a little late in posting this as I was busy building the studio. Now I will attempt to play catch-up and tell you a little about the space. I will add more current photos as the studio is now completed.

The 7 spaces include a control room, drum room (main space; room A), piano room (room B), bass room (room C), guitar room (room D), vocal booth (room E) and a separate space used as a music library; CD's, dats, VHS, Hi-8's, vinyl,  cassettes, mini casstettes, multi track tape.

Some construction photos:

Regarding the construction and separation of each room, the studs of the walls are metal, as sound transfers less through this metal than wood. We built double walls to get some thickness and some space between the rooms. We have added double insulation and had used a product called Quiet Rock on the inside of each of the rooms. Quiet Rock is 5/8ths inch thick but is 8 times denser than regular sheet rock. It looks like regular sheet rock on both sides but contains a sheet of steel in the center, and it has to be cut with a circular saw. Unfortunately it's double the cash and is 3 times the weight of sheet rock, but it is certainly a better material to use for this purpose.

A few patch bays:

Each room is suited for video and monitoring as well as having your own mix control in the headphones. If the bass player needs more drums, he can just turn up the drum channel. If the drummer needs more guitar (usually does not apply in rock bands!), he can just add more in his mix. Most rooms have 4 inputs that accept XLR and 1/4 inch. Each input can be switched to an output in the control room. The studio uses Pro Tools and is used primarily for Indaba Music. We have already have had some of our members in to start recording for the site!

Keyboard room: Yamaha, Rhodes, Phonebooth.

Hand made room treatments. Wool, wood, burlap and glue. I don't remember much after the glue. 

The studio has 2 panes of double-sided glass between each room. The rooms have angled glass in order to break up the sound preventing cancellation. The glass windows span from 3 feet to 11 feel depending on the room. The glass is also mounted on a 1-inch rubber based wood frame in order to prevent as much sound bleed as possible.I will add more studio photos in the near future!
