A Silent Studio

[thepanache]

Mix and record in the evenings on headphones, pump the monitors on the weekends or at any given opportunity! I know how you feel as I live in a flat surrounded by people.. Who complain in the form of stamping on the floor (If above) or smashing on the ceiling with a broom (When below)

I don't think the subPak is really gonna make a massive difference or open up a new world for you and your creative process. It's a nice 'toy' to have which I'm sure gives a really good listening experience.. But probably a bit of a gimmick in my opinion.

Like the previous posts recommend, take regular breaks when using headphones and use your monitors when you can.

One thing to note is that a lot of big producers still use headphones producing and get great results.

I think the SubPak is designed to represent that punch in the torso, diaphragm rattling low end you get when stood in front on a Funktion One rig!

Many companies do these prefab soundproof "boxes", this is one example: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2008/11/sound-proof-roo/

Some are made entirely with triple layer glass panes, my friend has one of them in his studio for drum recording, they are tailor-made, so you give them the dimensions, they ship you the panes with the frames, and you mount it with a couple friends They're pretty awesome, when playing drums, the sound levels outside are as low as, say, a very lightly played acoustic guitar
