Soundhaven Studio Pics

Hey guys,
Dan has inspired me to post a slideshow of my own studio build-out process. Sorry it took me so long to figure out how to do it!
As you'll see, we basically took a woodworking shed and converted it into a fairly decent space for recording (I'm not much of a carpenter!). We're in middle TN, which means hotter than blazes in the summer, cold in the winter. So the AC unit is running almost non-stop, except when the red light is on. I've got about 30-45 minutes of productive time before everything comes to a grinding halt and the room needs to be cooled or heated. But that happens pretty fast in a 280 sq. ft. room. It's all worth it to have a dedicated space for music.
Enjoy...
Paul

Thanks, Funky! And, typical of Nashville, the guy who did the build-out is an awesome guitar player who schedules his contracting work around tours with Blackhawk, the Outlaws and other old-guard country acts. He just might win the award for being the mellowest guy who ever lived. He does great work.

Wow, absolutely dynamite, Soundhaven! Solid construction, my friend. I relate to your limited cool-time before everything reheats.
I have six inch thick walls here with the long wall as the "fire-wall" connected onto the main-house, & I live where the humidity is at saturation (outside) for months upon months, so our environments are very different. I use five thermometers of different types at different altitudes within the room along with two Hygrometers of seperate makes for humidity tracking, and a dehumidifier for safety. My zone is between 43-49% humidity; and I try for a consistant ( believe it or not ) 61-64 degrees at ANY time of year. My un-controlled extremes have extended from 57- 74...But I know my instruments & tunings & patience hate that.
You're a separate entity there.
Line recording and DI should be no sweat (hee...sorry) at any time though, eh? So, outside of mic/ acoustic recording-- no unwanted vibes? Are you're circuits for lights and A/C and rack separated? Love the natural light via the glass-block = green
