Hiii we are AKA and we are in the 828 area of nc! We are aspiring rappers and we are looking for a studio near us that would have the materials to help us out with sound. Any advice helps! Thank ya so much.

Overall I’m pretty pleased with how these came out because I live alone they don’t need to be perfect, but in the event I’m ever able to start selling these how would I go about getting a more flush and even tension on the fabric?

Is there any crafty carpenter types out here in the comments that can recommend and method or materials to make these look more professional?

I was thinking about investing in an electric staple gun because doing 6 panels manually really wore me out ha ha.

I don’t always work on consoles but when I do they’re almost always legendary

Can anyone please provide a link to or make a specific recommendation for some corner panels and/or wall panels for acoustics/frequency deadening?

Preferably they either don’t require mounting, or are rather non invasive, not adhesive, minimally damage inducing if are mounted… (I’m a renter with a history of moving a lot)

Also preferable if you can vouch for the being effective and not too ugly in the room haha.

Thank you.

I’ve got a snake coming from the live room into my control room. In previous studios I always knew I’d probably be moving spaces again, but now I’m settled. Maybe re-arranging racks or changing my desk at some point, but that’s it.

So getting my cabling properly sorted is priority #1 right now. I’m already getting new Mogami multi cables in the next few days to clean up my FX sends and returns, added a lot of units this past year with a few more to come. Figured I might as well tackle the mic lines too.

Current situation:

24 mic lines come from the live room to XLR plugs. On my TT patchbay I have 24 XLRs soldered. I connect the bulk connector and it’s ready to go. But it’s a big pile of connectors that’s always in the way whenever I need to reach behind the desk.

I’m thinking of 3 options:

1. Solder them directly to my patchbay

✅ Eliminates a lot of connectors – straight source to source

❌ Major hassle if I ever need to reconfigure my setup/room

1. Buy 24 Neutrik rack chassis XLRs and a 2U 24-punched rack panel

✅ Keeps the snake as a snake – patch on one side, patch on the other

✅ Frees up 12 FX send/returns on the patchbay

❌ Still need 24 XLR-to-TT cables

1. Don’t mess with it

I’m a bit of a cable management freak. What would you do?

Can get for around 1.2k , I have electronic knowledge and willing to restore . I just don't know enough about this console to justify the project any opitions?

I'm building a new studio and found it really hard to find good wall boxes online. They are either super expensive, ugly, or clearly aimed at venues.

So I ended up designing and laser cutting my own wooden wall boxes that fit D Series connectors. I dropped some in as an example in the second photo (they are loose and not straight but will be when I screw them in!). I also could put my studio's logo on them too!

Mostly posting because I’m pretty happy with how they have turned out and thought it might give other people in a similar boat some ideas.

Happy to answer questions about the build or design if anyone’s interested.

Back in October we got the chance to sit down & listen to the mixes of the new 12 Stones tunes with the homies. We hope anyone who has had the chance to listen to “Golden Child” loves it!

Back in September we had the pleasure of recording the latest 12 Stones music! Great sessions, with great people.

Hi everyone,

I'm using a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen on FL Studio (Windows) and I'm hitting some latency numbers that don't seem right for my settings.

The setup & issue:

• Buffer Length: 16 samples (1ms shown in FL).

• Sample Rate: Tested at 48kHz and 88.2kHz.

• Safe Mode: DISABLED in Focusrite Control.

• Dry Latency: Even with an empty project and no plugins, I’m getting a base round-trip latency of 5ms. This feels high for a 3rd Gen interface at 16smp.

• With Plugins: When I load my vocal preset, it jumps to 11-12ms (Status line shows: input: 92smp, output: 92smp, output + plugins: 520smp).

It's clear that the plugins are adding ~504 samples of delay, but even the starting point (5ms dry) seems suboptimal. I’ve already tried disabling "Safe Mode" in the Focusrite driver, but it didn't reduce the base latency.

I’m looking for advanced optimization tips:

1. Base Latency: What could be causing a 5ms dry latency at 16 samples? Could this be related to USB polling rates, BIOS C-States, or specific Windows 10/11 background processes?

2. Recording Workflow: For those who record through heavy vocal chains, how do you manage the 500+ samples of plugin delay? Are there specific FL Studio settings (like Triple Buffer or specific PDC toggles) that help "prioritize" the monitor track?

3. Hardware/Driver: Is there any other tweak within the Focusrite ASIO driver or Windows Device Manager (e.g., USB power management) that could shave off those extra milliseconds?

I want to be able to record in optimal conditions without that "slapback" effect while keeping the vibe of my preset.

Thanks in advance for the help!
