BAMA studio wish list
We are building a recording studio and practice room.
This modern digital facility will allow Borrego Springs music students the ability to learn the latest audio technology.
Skilled carpenter Jeff Murphy applies a bead of acoustic silicone before 1 inch thick soundproof glass is installed.
His double wall filled with rockwool and topped with mass loaded vinyl will seal off the room from outside sounds.
Rising well above the drop ceiling all the way to the rafters, the additional double wall construction was much more complicated than the usual 2 X 4s and drywall design.
Next a final layer of drywall will be applied over the special vinyl, leaving almost no sign of the specialized materials, just silence.
A patch bay allows audio connectors to pass through the wall without compromising the sound proofing. The desk is now being built, and equipment is being installed.
Below is a list of the items we are purchasing. Please consider making a donation to give the students in our underserved community the chance to pursue their dreams.
Many thanks to those who donated funds or equipment.
We now have much of the equipment needed to finish the project.
Future plans are: build a stage, purchase drum line equipment, additional wirelesss microphones and lighting equipment. Ideally we want our students to be able to perform, mix, and handle all technical and creative aspects of a performance.
