The last time I’ll see any of the ceiling Whisper Clips and hat channel, because...
...The first layer of the inner leaf is finished!

My New Studio Build (perhaps overly detailed)
- Thread starter silky smoove
- Start date
The end result at the butt seams is nicer, but using the hoist with the panels oriented this way is a MASSIVE effort.
Over halfway done with the second layer of the lid’s inner leaf.
I popped too small of a hole in the tube of Green Glue on the last one I put up tonight. The result was a pressure build up, my caulking gun smashing through the bottom of the tube, a short stream of GG flying across the studio and now an utter mess.

I’m guessing I finished my room 3 years ago now? I have a bucket that I put all the spent green glue tubes in. To this day it is still sticky.
Not sure if sticky is the same as wet. As long as it's wet it is still capable of off-gassing. When dry this should be minimal. This Green Glue safety sheet is vague as to what is in it, listing part of the formulation as proprietary.
There's crushed limestone and quartz. One component is acetaldehyde. This is found in low levels in the body and the environment. In higher concentrations it can irritate your nasal passages and throat.
The general idea with green glue is that it doesn’t harden, I can’t explain the chemistry but it is supposed to stay in a gum/silly putty consistency to dampen vibrations.
Neither. It’s mud to account for a butt seam that wasn’t as tight as I wanted on the first layer.
I wonder if the limestone and quartz random oriented flakes could act to dissipate any absorbed acoustic energy much like damping in a speaker cabinet.
Some Ampeg amps have vibration dampers made by Lord (Vibration Isolators | LORD Corp). These, like the one below, use rubber membranes. Room-in-room studios sometimes use similar dampers.

I won't be able to work on construction again until Sunday afternoon. Hopefully I'll be able to finish off the final layer of the lid and be rid of that stupid drywall hoist. If not I'll certainly have it done by next week.
I accomplished nothing today. Not just a lack of studio work, but a complete lack of anything 
After two very long days of doing this (see below), I was understandably stiff and sore to the point that lifting pieces of drywall was the last thing on my mind. Back to it in the coming week!

Nice line! My climbing tends to be limited to the winter months...
Nice! I've got a buddy that does the whole "backcountry skiing by way of trad climbing to get there" thing. Looks intense.
Yeah, I really loke the downwards part. Getting up there, not so much...
Sadly not living in the mountains make that difficult... I lived in
We have a saying... earn your beers!!
I lived in France for 6 months, being able to explore like that everyday was amazing.
Sadly time, money and location make it a lot harder now.
Tonight I resume construction. I don't suspect it will happen, but a tiny part of me thinks I can knock out the lid tonight. The reality is that it will probably take me a couple nights this week.
I see lots of studios putting up stone facings in live rooms to act as a source of diffusion. Robert Lang Studio here in Seattle has one such wall. Very cool setup.
As I've mentioned previously my plan thus far is to use a Slate Raven MTi as the screen and DAW controller once my studio is done. Slate and Zaor have released a custom desk for the Raven MTi called the Core Station. It's enormous. It's meant for running two Ravens side by side, and the option for only running one Raven is to just put it in the middle of the bay, but still have a gigantic desk. For me that's a non-starter. It's simply too big for my modest space. That said, I found a reference online to a sidecar desk that someone built for a user that has a Raven MTX (Slate's $10,000 flagship model) with an MTi as a sidecar for VCAs, busses, etc. As it would happen the Zaor sidecar MTi setup is PERFECT for what I want in a desk. I got a quote from them and depending on options it'll be between $750-900 to custom order one. That's cheaper than the Argosy Halo desk I was considering by a large margin, it has a smaller footprint and will satisfy my needs completely. I'm very excited to work using this setup.
