Leaves from the Vine (extended version) (Now with Studio Version)

An acoustic cover of one of my favorite songs, Leaves from the Vine, from Avatar: The Last Airbender. My friend Pleading Eyes (the person for whom Long Road to California was written) had mentioned once that she wrote an extended version, and told me some of the lyrics that she could remember. I filled in the gaps. This was the result. Is anyone else tired of me just dancing around using A major and A major seventh? XD I'll learn more chords soon, I promise... ~*Lyrics*~ Leaves from the vine Falling so slow Like fragile tiny shells Drifting in the foam Little soldier boy Come marching home Brave soldier boy Comes marching home Those leaves did grow From branches overgrown Drifting slowly down Resting on the loam Little soldier boy Taken from home Forced to fight a war That's not his own Leaves from the vine Falling so slow Like fragile tiny shells Drifting in the foam Little soldier boy says "Carry me home" Sleeping soldier boy Is carried home Lyrics (C) Lucia Lobosvilla, Diana Rose and Nickelodeon. ~*NEW*~ Studio version GET! www.4shared.com

New Home Studio Tour

Hi all, This is the end result of a recent refit I did for my home studio. What you see is the back half of my bedroom which I have partitioned off to build my studio space using acoustic office partitions. The room corners have large fibreglass insulation packages wrapped in cloth to act as bass traps with a few acoustic foam panels at the wall and ceiling reflection points as well as against the windows to reduce outside road noise. Since my last video I got rid of my Pro Tools HD2 system due to frustration with the direction of Avid and uncertainty about where they were going with the software and the HD line up. Seeing the recently released HD Native I must say it was a timely move on my part getting out of the mess. Decided to move to a more songwriter friendly setup using Logic Studio as my main DAW. Got to say I have never been happier and can't believe what a step up Logic is in functional capability compared to the now buggy dinosaur that is Pro Tools. I just wish I did this changeover sooner. Some kudos has to go to the PrismSound Orpheus which replaced my Digi 192 i/o. The Orpheus is a beast of audio clarity and matches beautifully with the X-Desk which has transformed my tracking and monitoring chain and the clarity of my mixes. For anyone who doubts the X-Desk and its "sound" and it's value for money you can take it from me it definitely is worth every cent. Hard to describe what it does to my audio chain but mixing just seems easier. Having a fully native ...

How Much Does a Recording Studio Cost?

The cost of setting up a professional recording studio at home can vary from $500 to $20,000. If you don't have an extra room to set up a studio then you will also need to rent a place, which will cost extra. The setup cost will depend on what kind of a studio you are going to build. Are you planning to set up a serious business, which can render services to varieties of customers and charge a high fee? Or is it just a simple a home-based studio to cater to the local bands for a minimum charge? Here are a few tips to help you get an estimate of how much it may cost to set up a recording studio.

Processing the room

First of all, you need to process your room in order to make the sound quality better. Remember, a normal room or your basement was not built for sound recording and therefore will need some work before it can be converted into a good recording studio. You can purchase good quality acoustic foam and stick them on walls by yourself. One case of foam will cost anything between $70 and $300. You may need around 7 cases for a 10'X10' room. You can also take help of professionals and make the room soundproof. This is an additional cost that you can undertake if you want to render a high-quality, professional service. For a low budget studio, you can start much cheaper. There are many ways to improve room acoustics cheaply or for free. These ideas will be discussed in another article.

Hardware and software

Among the hardware equipment, you will need a computer, a soundboard, an interface, and a good microphone with a stand and microphone cable. The whole microphone set may cost you around $500 or less for a decent one. You can also get a MIDI keyboard, which will cost around $100 for a cheap starter keyboard. You will also need digital recording software, which may cost anything between $100 and $800. If you want something free, I recommend Audacity. Do a Google search, and you'll find it easily.

Musical equipment

It is advisable to keep a few pieces of musical equipment handy, in case your customers need to borrow something. This happens quite a bit. If you already have a guitar or any other instrument of your own, keep them in the studio. You may not need to invest in new musical instruments if you don't have much room in your budget for this. You can also consider investing into a few second hand instruments that are in good condition. Mostly, bands just want to have options in the studio. If you have some old beat up guitars, amps, and effects lying around, they are happy to tinker with them. This also increases the value of your studio, which helps you command a higher fee for your services.

Sound Vault Soundproof Recording Studio Doors

There is precious little information on the Internet about soundproof doors. In this article we will talk about doors with a sound rating of 55 STC or greater. Soundproof doors can be used in many applications for example, sound recording studios, high end home theaters as well as private office spaces and conference room application.

Generally most soundproof doors are custom made to the customer's specifications. The most effective soundproofed doors are constructed in layers and are from 2 inches to 3 inches thick. The better soundproof doors come complete with the doorframe and all of the mounting hardware, which would include the perimeter sound seals and the door bottom drop down transom seal. The drop down transom is a spring-loaded mechanism that trips a trigger when the door is closed which in turn drops the spring-loaded seal to where it contacts the floor and seals the door from the bottom. These parts are part of the tested door assembly. These doors are constructed of laminated wood with multiple layers of sound barriers as well as visco elastic damping compounds added. Soundproof doors come ready to stain or paint to match any décor.

These doors weigh in at about 300 Lbs so there is some labor involved in their installation. One of the better soundproof doors is provided by Soundproofing America and it is a called the Sound Vault(TM) acoustical door. This door comes in either and oak finish that is ready to stain as well as the optional birch, maple and cherry finishes.

The Sound Vault(TM) Acoustical doors are ready to install and can be custom made to match any décor. The application for these doors is endless. The Sound Vault(TM) acoustical door are a superb recording studio door, which can also be used for voice over booths as well. They are a great addition to any Home theater or media room application.

Any place where sound is an issue, the Sound Vault(TM) acoustical door is the solution.

Home Recording Studio Setup - Learn How to Build a Recording Studio the Easy Way

Home recording studio setup can be very difficult. A recording room or recording studio as musicians like to refer to it, may be anything from a basement garage or a spare bedroom to a fully equipped studio complete with all the works necessary to produce optimal sounds. If you are just starting and have yet to land your first recording contract, you are faced with the two-pronged challenge of coming up with a professional sounding record while at the same time working within a limited budget. If by some stroke of luck you have the opportunity to choose a recording room, choose one with good insulation, spacious, carpeted, and if possible, not square, as it adds up to the bounce of the sound waves. At the same time, you want a room with the proper temperature setting (not too cold and not too hot), since it will affect vibration and refraction of sound.

Learn How to Build a Recording Studio

However, a room like this will be far and few in between and if they are at all easily available, they might command a hefty rental price. If you are willing to pay the price to rent these rooms every time you want to have a recording session then by all means go ahead. But, if you are not afraid of working a bit for that ideal recording room then read up and learn on how to make a perfect recording studio out of your spare room.

The secret to making an ideal recording studio is in understanding the nature of sound and sound waves. Sound waves will "bounce" on parallel walls, hence a square room is not too advisable. Since most of our rooms are square, you can defy this bouncing pattern by positioning your listening station in one of the corners and not along one of the walls. Still on the issue of preventing sounds from bouncing all over the place, you should do your best to install some "softening" materials that will dampen the bounce such as carpets for the floor, heavy drapes for the walls, foam products and other similar materials. A drywall will be ideal but aside from the fact that it will take some time and money to have this installed, it is also very permanent and will reduce the usefulness of room for other purposes.

Since you will be recording in an area that will not be isolated from the general public, you want to be able to record at a lover volume, unless you don't mind your neighbors and housemates getting terribly irritated. I myself won't be pleased when I constantly hear banging and clanging from somewhere near my house. To be able to record at a much acceptable sound level, you should invest in near-field monitors or special speakers that will let you listen at close range and will also give you an idea of how your recording will sound like after it is finished. A good set of headphones will be the second best option if you can't afford near-field monitors yet.

On the more practical side, you want to ensure that your workspace will be very comfortable. Recording can sometimes last a long time and you certainly don't want to be complaining about a sore back after a couple of hours. Make sure as well to have adequate space for your station where you can comfortably move about. I know that it sounds as if it takes too much to come up with the perfect recording room, but after some time, when you hear how good you sound on record, you will find that all your efforts have paid up.

VocalBox - World's Best Studio Vocal Reflection Filter Booth

BUY NOW: www.ezvid.com Designed by Colin Roberts and Alexander Perls Materials: steel, fiberglass, poly foam, plexiglass Free delivery and installation in Southern California Please contact us for a custom delivery quote for your location Notes from Alexander Perls regarding the VocalBox: How does a producer record vocals in a modern music studio? Vocals are usually close-miked, so a tiny bit of background noise isn't a problem — the primary problem is to properly deaden the sound. A "room" style vocal booth is overkill, and ventilation is always a problem, so you have to install a fan, and then the fan makes noise. And it takes up half your studio. The other option is a cheap thing from China like the reflexion filter. Anyone who has actually used one knows that it doesn't do much for reflection deadening — it doesn't deal at all with sound that goes to the floor or goes to the ceiling. And adjusting it so you are "close enough" to the filter never works quite right. And there's no window, so if you are the singer, it's impossible to see your computer screen, or if you're working with another vocalist, they can't see you while they sing. So we decided to create a no-compromise luxury solution, aimed at the established music producer, voiceover artist, or serious hobbyist. The VocalBox doubles as a microphone stand. It has a plexiglass window, in case you want your vocalist to be able to see you. Or for maximum deadening, simple cover the plexiglass with the included ...

Building and Soundproofing a Home Recording Studio

"How do I soundproof my garage, basement, or a bedroom in my single family house or condo so my 4 piece rock band can practice and record and not bother the neighbors?"

If I had a dollar for every time I was asked this question, I would be in the Bahamas right now, instead of writing this article. Many factors need to be considered prior to beginning your studio or practice room-soundproofing project. Some of the questions you should be asking yourself are: What type of amplification will the band be using, are the drums going to be acoustic and miked or are they digital. Are you going to be recording live late at night or are we going to be doing "line in" recording only? These questions and many more need to be considered before the actual construction begins. If live recording and rehearsal are the plan, then maximum soundproofing will be needed. The most effective way to soundproof a garage, basement, or bedroom is to actually construct a room within a room (go to http://www.auralex.com) and download the free booklet "Acoustics 101", this is a wonderful resource for the home studio builder.

Their ideas are solid and applicable to any studio-soundproofing project. The room within a room concept utilizes the sealed dead air space that is captured between the inner walls and the outer walls to help greatly with the soundproofing endeavor. It is probably easiest to frame the walls on the floor and then tilt them up into place thus making dry walling the outside of the walls much easier. It is also highly recommended that another ceiling be joisted out for the room within a room, however, this is often times not possible due to space constraints.

In this case, the existing ceiling and ceiling joists may be used as the ultimate ceiling for the studio, provided that it is adequately soundproofed with materials such as the mass loaded vinyl or a combination of closed cell foam mat and MLV. I will elaborate on these materials, as we get further into this article. Once the walls are framed out and the right amount of "Dead air space" is determined, then it is time to install the soundproofing. The first order of business is to consider what needs to be done to the wall cavities prior to installing a barrier and finally the wallboard. I like to line the inside cavities with a closed cell vinyl nitrile foam mat such as American Mat. This mat (generally 1/4" thickness) is adhered to the inside cavity walls as well as the studs and joists using a contact cement to adhere the mat. Keep in mind that the American Mat is used to line the cavities only, not to fill the cavity. If thermal insulation is needed, use products such as rock wool, mineral wool, cut wool fibers, or my favorite, Roxul. Roxul is a great thermal rock wool based batt type insulation that has great soundproofing qualities. If thermal insulation is a requirement for the practice room or studio, then Roxul is the way to go.

Now we come to a crossroads, it is time to determine if decoupling the walls using resilient channels or American Sound clips is a necessity. De coupling is used when impact transmission or low frequency noise is a factor. Impact would come primarily from the drums (acoustic type) or the bass amplifier. However, if the band is using Marshall high powered amps (50 watt amps with 4 X 12 cabinets for example) along with miked acoustic drums and an Ampeg bass system, then decoupling will most likely be necessary. These methods and procedures will be explained in later articles. If decoupling were determined to be unnecessary, then the next step would be to find a good barrier material such as American mass loaded vinyl (which is a high grade mass loaded vinyl barrier). This barrier could be stapled directly to the studwork on a wall assembly or directly to the joists. This is a method that is used if cost or space constraints are factors. If the barrier material is to be stapled directly to the stud or joist framing then it is best that the seams be over lapped, caulked (using OSI acoustical caulking compound) and then taped with either a lead tape or a heavy-duty PVC seam tape.

Once the Mass Loaded vinyl (MLV) is installed and sealed, it is time to install the final layer of drywall. I always recommend using 5/8" drywall as the final layer because of its mass and its sound blocking abilities. . It is always advisable to butter the edges of the last layer of drywall with acoustical caulk. You want to grab every STC (sound transmission class) point you can when trying to make your new studio as soundproof as possible. Finally you will tape mud and paint your final layer of drywall. Now you have a great soundproof home recording studio. We will discuss acoustical treatments for your studio in subsequent articles, but for now you are well on your way to having a professional grade-recording studio in your home.
