I'm
primarily a mobile recording service. I load the "Hernia
Rack" in my truck along with a tote box full of mics,
another full of headphones, yet another full of cables, stands,
snake, etc.
When I return, I dump the tracks from my ADATs to the PC via
the litepipe for mixing and sweetening in Nuendo.
I also have a couple of clients who bring in sequences that
are loaded into the PC and guitars and vocals are added.
My mixing room is 9'x12' with a ceiling that slopes from 7'10"
in the front to 9'4" on the back wall. The ceiling and
back wall are lined with burlap covered 2'x4'x2" rockwool
slabs. Jon Gale tube traps are in the corners. For reflective
surfaces, the side walls have kind of mini polycylindrical
diffusers made from 2'x4'x1/8" masonite flexed in 22"
wide frames.
The room, to my ears, is free of flutter echoes and is neither
too dead nor too live. There is, however, a slight bass buildup
on the back wall but I'm well in front of that while mixing.
