I'm sharing a rather unusual project my band just released: a radio drama about a mysterious vaudeville troupe that arrives in rural Maine in 1906. Rumors of their bizarre shows are spreading far about town. Is it true they hypno-possessed a girl last week in Portsmouth? What's about this odd new in...

Thanks for all the feedback and guidance related to speaker runs. Definitely won't even try them thru Cat cabling it seems! I would indeed like to be able to run from an amp head in the control room to a speaker cab somewhere else in the building. For an install that goes through a wall and an attic...

I'm nearing the point of running my Cat cabling and closing up my wall. Curious about the specifics of which type of cabling folks would suggest. Mostly I'm imagining using it for audio inputs or speaker cable runs, plus possibly to hook up headphone mixers, ala the Furman HDS-6 system. The conundru...

Thanks so much for all the great advice! The building actually has a bunch of fluorescent lights at the moment because it was previously used as a car garage, but I'm definitely intending on replacing those before doing any recording. The space has its own dedicated circuit panel, so I think I can f...

I am in the early stages of rebuilding my large garage into a recording studio, and I'm curious whether anyone has suggestions about what special considerations I should present to my electrician at the early portion of a studio buildout. I recognize a lot of things are specific to the building itse...

I'm pleased to share this music video I put together for the first song off my recent album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xevVwTY3jOs The album was a true one-man operation, which is both a blessing and a curse. The upright piano largely fills the role of bass and percussion, so I had fun trying ...

Thanks so much for the insight. That was awesome and exactly what I was curious about. I also appreciate your note at the end about the extra large control room mitigating some of these effects. I'm in a rural setting so I have a very large building to play with. I've definitely considered integrati...

Thanks for the interesting responses; all that info is quite useful. In terms of the distance between the two speakers, is it fair to say I'm overthinking the effect of where each band member is seated within the stereo image? Put another way: Are the room modalities going to have a large enough imp...

I am curious about speaker placement in larger control rooms, such as Studio A at EA, specifically as it relates to minimizing differences between what the engineer is hearing and what the band is hearing on the couch behind the desk. So much of the literature I read on speaker placement is focused ...

This song is off my two-piece band's latest album, "The Riddle of the Moth and the Flame." Any feedback is most welcome:
