Stumbled across this little ditty last night, studio recording of a very catchy original tune:

@Stbby Is the basement one big room? Do you have a way to prevent sound from simply travelling up the stairs? Do you have a budget in mind? I don't personally think you have any options that involve leaving your joist cavities open. Insulate the available space in the joist cavities with...

I have [a lot] of experience regarding residential building construction [in North America]. Though my experience isn't specific to audio rooms, I can offer plenty of suggestions regarding sound insulation/isolation given specific information about the space. 1) Of the self-installable...

Perhaps, still the most accurate and direct answer to the question ;) Edit: Everyone else was doing a great job of pointing out the impossibility of the question! :)

That is definitely a sweet vintage floor sander! Edit: To the point of the thread, all else equal, bigger boxes equals more better.

Late reply, but brains have not yet been properly applied to this thread. Yes; I toss it on, because it's a good catchy tune (by many definitions). I'm not suggesting discussing the best version on repeat during a circle jerk on the topic; but it's a good rock tune. And the Eagles have more...

This blows my mind. If I were an indie artist releasing physical media, trying to keep production costs down, I'd most definitely use my 48x CD burner. Throw on a movie to keep me entertained, whenever the tray in the desktop opens, toss in another blank and start again. 2 dozen by the time the...

Oh, I have absolutely no problem experiencing bass. You can feel kickdrums in the walls. And they handle the first 4 bars of this admirably, one of my go-to test tracks... They just don't give quite the rumble one gets from a well tuned system that includes subwoofers in a modern Hollywood...

Lots of opinions in this thread, so I'll toss mine into the pot. TLDR: I prefer a full-range floor stander for music; I prefer a sub for movies; Disclaimer: My background is musical, not cinematic; short of once buying a $100 kit to complete the Dolby Pro-Logic "Surround" sound on an old...

Have you investigated having a small run done? Last I checked, a decade ago, there were companies that catered to exactly this situation. You ship them your masters and artwork and payment, they ship you a 1000 copies of your record/album/CD/what-have-you. ... though perhaps less now due to the...

I bought the Up To Here tab book, and still never got that riff to sound right!!

I buried 1 1/2" PVC conduit and pulled standard audio cabling through it. One huge benefit with conduit is the ability to re-pull lines if anything ever goes wrong or if upgrades are required (as long as you leave a string in it). Terminate the conduit into one of these with a flip-down...

I use these when needed, not pretty, but the function and price are fantastic: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/303967686795 (Hence the base requirement of an auxiliary input) Edit: And in situations like this, I'm not concerned about imperfections inherent to the built-in DAC. I'm happy if I get...

I have been using an old Sony unit because it sounds quite nice, but it has enough electrical issues that it makes more sense to replace it than try to fix it... It was likely a $500 unit 15 years ago... The micro-system [thanks for the term, that helps] is basically the concept I'm shooting...

First off, not an audiophile environment with equipment running, but the typical shop radios are utterly garbage to listen to. I don't expect my shop tunes to be loud enough to be heard over cutting operations or when any AC motors are running, but the system should be loud enough to listen to...

Tiesto's version is by far the most well known

Yep, real voices, processed, though I'm not sure how much.
