After nearly 10 years I finally posted some recent pics of the jam room. Not much has changed, just more clutter. But it's a good clutter.
Also: This page is extremely heavy and will take a long time to load if you have a dial-up connection.

The low-voltage lamp above this welcome sign in the stairwell was made with a DC converter, a 12 volt bulb and a Bic pen. Incredibly, it has burned non-stop now for 11 years.

This was an "open" basement, and was not acoustically sound until I partitioned it off using scrap 2 X 4s, old carpeting and plywood.

All of the cold air ducts are carpeted to reduce both resonance and upstairs noise.

This wall was added later and was constructed of 2 X 4s and paneling with eggshell foam backing.

As mentioned earlier, I mic the bass drums and the snare, and let the overhead cover everything else.

These days, this rack is used primarily as a feed to the computer rather than actual recording.

This shows how I got around using a "desktop" recorder with a rack without having a tangled up mess of cables all the time.

This mixer is monitors only and is not directly patched to the computer. I found it records much better with a live mic mixed through the rack.

No studio would be complete without a musician's "toolbox"

Inevitably, it all ends up here.
