How I built a Recording Studio addition (Part 1)

This is the tale of how Edgetone Studios came to be and the steps I took to build a professional recording studio addition on our home. In part 1 I cover the background of the studio, the design process, and the construction of the exterior shell.
Part 2 will focus on the accoustic treatment, soundproofing, cabling and finishing details.

Glad you enjoyed it. I was hoping to do one long video of the entire build, but editing all those photos together is super tedious and time consuming. But I'll be working on that next.

Absolutely. They just had unfortunate timing. But it all worked out as it took so long to get the permit and builder.

You're welcome. It was a long and time consuming labour of love to get this all together, so I'm excited to share the whole process with those who might gain some insights from it.

And make sure you learn some construction skills as well. ;-) You're going to need them as you'll see in part 2.

You are welcome. Hope it was informative in some way. I figured I put enough of my life into the build that I can put a fraction of that into sharing the story.

Wow! What’s that rounded mic brand/model is?

@EdgetoneStudios Жыл бұрын

That's a Blue Mcrophones Dragonfly. It's a cardioid condenser mic with a swivel ball for the capsule. I have two and have used them as drum overheads as well. I think the Blue stuff is a good value. I don't think they make this model anymore. Here's a Sound on Sound Article about them: www.soundonsound.com/reviews/blue-dragonfly

Why do you need 8,000 keyboards?

@EdgetoneStudios Жыл бұрын

Haha. Well I really don't, but before becoming a bass player, my first instrument was synthesizer. I have a love of vintage and modern synths. Each has a unique voice and I also see them as works of art. I use them for composition, and though I can just as easily use software synths (and do), there is something visceral and tactile that is lost in software. On a side note, I planned 4 keyboards on each side of the back wall, with one MIDI controller at the desk and my stage piano in the tracking room. One reason for this was to force myself to "limit" the keyboards to 10, or else I might actually be approaching 8,000.
