Air Conditioning in a small room
Without getting into any elaborate and expensive scenarios, I want to put a window mounted type air conditioner in the room I am currently (temporarily) using for my studio. It's a typical small bedroom size and it's been getting quite warm with summer now here. Anyone have any tips on who makes the quietest (5200 BTU would be plenty) unit? If I have to I'll take breaks to let the room cool down but it would be great if I could at least do some of the not so critical work in pro tools with the AC running.

Re: Air Conditioning in a small room
Don't get a window mount. Get one of those portable ones that you can put behind your desk and won't hear the noise as much. They're probably a lot more quiet anyway. They have a small exhaust hose that you can run out your window (has a kit for this). They're also de-humidifiers which is nice. You get get them new from dealers on Ebay real cheap.

A portable, great idea, thanks! Now about that Genesis unit... will it make my mixes sound more ethereal?

Check Sears. The concept is good but I believe they are somewhat expensive.

I'm sure there are. Check Ebay for the brands of the portables, and then check the company's website for dealers in So. Cal.
