[Joseph Stavitsky]

Again - many thanks to everyone for the excellent advice. True to Mr.
Krueger's predictions, I did indeed realize that I had been rather
delusional after reading a fine tome by Mr. Everest and Mr. Mike Shea
called, how to build a small budget recording studio from scratch (3d.
ed.) . Mr. Everest is indeed a genius - waaay over my head for now, I'm
afraid, but I got what I needed, and that's what counts. I am currently
in the process of constructing a project/semipro studio in a friend's
garage.

Unfortunately, we have a rather large problem. Before I met this
gentleman, he decided to place the electrical box for the whole
operation _inside the studio space_. Now it's up to me to figure out
what to do with the damn thing. Besides the electromagnetic shielding
(which I suspect will be required in order to keep the current from
playing merry hell with the microphones) I imagine this thing will
destroy room acoustics. Not to mention, any treatment I do come up with
needs to be movable to allow access to the damn thing. Do I have any
reasonable options besides begging him to move it?

Thanks so much for the continuing help and support
