O

I've done lots of on-line research re. the iso-box thing. Could you post the plans for the one you built, or links to them? Has it been successful?

i used to mix down to a sony 4 head VHS in the nineties from my cassette 8-track. I couldn't afford a DAT, so it did the job. I never released anything that i mixed to it though...

I've never built a real studio, and have no plans to. Not my direction. But I do know, if you are nice and diplomatic, you can record anywhere... (some bass traps help though)
