I did a big reno this last summer on the studio and got the new studio up and functional. I expected to get the finishing done by December however we have been busier than ever and now I am shooting for June. Everything left to do is finishing type work. I thought would post the ongoing cosmetics as I finish them. My control room has a “Mad Men” type vibe. I’ve got the old Westinghouse TV and old video cameras in it. I spent yesterday putting the leather details on the arm and top piece of my console and build a coffee table out of an old RCA radio cabinet. The Red leather arm on the console matches the red leather couch. I have the fabric to finish the walls ordered in. Can’t wait to get that done:)

Did a Little more fabric hanging today. It takes a while but its worth it. My steamer died so I’ll need to get a new one to take out the wrinkles in the fabric. After the fabric is all hung I have trim to put on the seams. It is starting to come together though. I am going to get another set of speaker stands for my near field Monitors tomorrow and then I’ll get them reinstalled. I need to build full sized absorbers for the windows as well. I am putting a vinyl wrap on the outside of the glass so it doesn’t look stupid outside:)
I have a parrot who sometimes sits on my shoulder or in the window when I record. He can be a noisy little guy. Somehow he has made it onto every album I’ve ever recorded:)

That would be seriously cool to train the parrot to be an actual echo on a track. haha!
Looks awesome Paul !
What are you using for monitors in that last picture ?
Those are JBL home theatre speakers. I’ve used them for years and they are wonderful. They have a bit of a scooped frequency curve in the low mids. My KRK’s are the opposite with the most congested low mids ever:)
