While I wait for my copy to arrive...

What about the door to a booth this size? I'm particularly worried about good seals (obviously). Anybody have any experience with this?

@JWL: I must say that I kind of feel like a jerk, I just realized that I've seen you mention Gervais' book at least 8 times in various places around the site, and yet I keep on asking my silly questions. As far as the floating the floor thing goes, I wasn't planning on doing anything more complicate...

Hey all, So, I'm looking around for a good, professional looking, data hosting service where I can set up client accounts and assign them specific storage locations. Not too expensive, obviously, but with a decent amount of space. I'm working with audio and video (shudder), so I'll need about 2-3 gi...

Something just occurred to me. What about two 1/2" sheets of ply with green glue or quietglue in between? The stuff is supposed to be magic for low-end transmission.

Sorry, I was half-asleep when I wrote that, should have mentioned what I'm using it for. My main focus at the moment is on doing voice-over/ADR, audiobooks, and foley. So I don't need that much space, but enough to be comfortable for someone to sit inside for extended periods. I was aiming for an in...

The seemingly universal opinion in the audio world is that the only way to really prevent sound transfer between structures is to build a room within a room. I agree... so that's what I plan to do. But, caveat and design challenge, I can't do anything to the room that I'm in. My thought: Isolation b...

So, I know this thread has been idle for a while, but I didn't see it posted anywhere. What are the dimensions of the (now deceased?) trailer? I'll hazard a guess at 8'x16'x7.5.

Just for interest's sake more than anything else.

My nerdly heart melts.

Here's the 9 minute version:

Thanks for the advice. I know that such vague questions can be frustrating. Hey dad, what should I do with my life...? But the world out there can at times be ominous and shudder inducing. As it happens, upon following your advice, I have been in touch with a local post house and they do in fact hav...

Hi all, I'm trying to think of ideas for places to look for a new audio job. I currently work as a voice over editor for a descriptive video company. In and of itself and all things considered it's really not a bad gig, and I definitely don't hate it, but it's about as far from challenging as I can ...

Envy becomes me.

Thanks!

And, again, if you don't mind me asking, how did you bill the station/production house? I don't need a specific number, but was it for the whole piece, daily, weekly, per-airtime-minute?

It sounds like you were doing a single, 60 minute play. How long was your timeline? That's kind of my biggest question, particularly as it relates to budgeting and income (I'm hoping to make at least a part of my living off of it). I suppose I'll find out but as they say, "knowing is half the battle."

@Nick Sevilla: Sorry, I don't mean to be glib (well... I do kinda). But to answer your question, yes/no. To start with it's a personal project just to lay out the groundwork for future productions. That said, it would be fantastic to sell it on to the CBC, BBC, or NPR (maybe even privately through i...
