How much ISO do I need?

Ill try to make this short.

My wife and I just moved into our new build house. I am wanting to construct a home studio in the basement that can later be a nice man cave and/or home theater for the next buyers.

I read through Rod Garvais' book, and it seems a little over my head, but there are good points that I could take away from it.

Dimensions and ideas for multi purpose recording studio's

I'm going to build a multi purpose studio on 5 acres in a location where there is little outside noise to be overly concerned about. I'm in the country, on a very private lake where the sound of nature is actually something I would rather hear as a natural ambience (maybe I am onto something lol)!

Do we need to spend thousands of dollars on recording gear or software?

When it comes right down to good sound, the mix and master, I personally believe I can get by on most basic DAW platform with good to excellent preamps and conversion.

That fact that I use and discuss excellent gear is because its available to me, and because its also a passion of interest.

Mixing Critique

hi.. fairly new to mixing and mastering. Check out my mix and let me know what I can improve on. FYI, artist brought a YouTube beat to the session and didn't have wav files so it was a little hard for me to get all vox takes to sit in the mix so I fear it'll be either to loud or to soft compared to the beat. regardless let me know! Feedback is essential in my opinion. Thanks

#10 AWG (2 conductor) vs. #12 AWG (4 conductor) Speaker Wire

Hey guys, I'm doing some wiring specs (exciting right ? Lol) and I'm completely unsure of what to go with.

It's speaker wire for a cinema setup. The surrounds, and the Screen Channel speakers accept up to 10awg wire with barrier strip screw terminals. The reference speakers and subs are on speakin NL-8 connectors which accept up to 12awg wire.
