3 Cool Home Recording Studio Design Concepts
Once you have selected where in your home your studio is going to be, it’s about time to start designing the space. The spot for the setup is most likely confined to a single room, such as a garage or a bedroom. To help you come up with some bright ideas for your home recording studio design, here are three neat options to consider:
Go Traditional – In conventional pro music studios, the space is usually divided into a number of different areas. The center of the space should be the control room, where you will put the mixer, recorders, and other outboard equipment. The other rooms, such as tracking rooms or isolation booths (depending on the size of the room), should be connected to the control room. As the musicians sing and play in the tracking room, the engineer records the act and examines the sound in the control room using speakers or headphones. Read the rest of this entry »
Aircon Will Keep Your Home Cool and Comfortable During Those Hot Summer Days
Summers can be unbearable sometimes in some of the hotter regions, so having an air conditioner in good working order is imperative. An aircon air conditioning unit can keep your home cool efficiently.
The wall mounted unit has a cooling capacity of 9,000 BTU per hour to 24,000 BTU/HR. It usually costs S$50.00 for a unit. The price has recently been lowered to S$30.00. The ceiling/cassette units have a cooling capacity of 18,000 to 45,000 BTU/hour. The price of the aircon ceiling/cassette unit was usually S$60.00, but is available at this time for S$50.00. Both units will do a good job at cooling, just choose the one you need depending on the size of the area that will be cooled.
Once you have chosen the cooling unit you desire and have it installed, you will be refreshingly cooler and be able to escape the hot weather months of the outdoors. Should you find that your unit needs servicing, you will be glad to know that aircon technicians are conveniently available for any troubleshooting or repair that needs to be done.

Whole House Attic Fans: For Your Family, Your Pocket and the Greater Environment
There is a very great and important focus upon energy consumption in today’s society. The connections between anthropogenic (human-sourced) carbon dioxide emissions and the changing of large-scale climate patterns have been well-documented by scientists. Mass destruction of eco-systems and the unprecedented rate of plant and animal extinctions have made it clear that now more than ever we need to be smarter and more aware of our home’s impact upon the environment. This means being more careful about the technology we use to provide us with electricity.
There are a great number of alternative energy sources that can generate clean electricity, such as solar panels and wind turbines, but for many people, these technologies are either too expensive or too inconvenient to be used in the home. Whole house attic fans on the other hand are an innovative design in ventilation that not only keep your house beautifully cool, but consumes only 10% of the energy required by traditional A/C units. Together with whole house attic fans, you can enjoy the comfort of a cool house with a far lesser environmental impact and of course, lower electricity bills! Read the rest of this entry »
