Hi Warren! In my home studio I have two bed mattresses facing up against the wall behind my couch. In my city you can't get fiberglass panels or anything else like that, so I had to innovate. I can say those two mattresses do an amazing job on my studio acoustics. Great video as always!

This is going to be a great new series! It does nevertheless bring up an interesting two-part problem or question that was made clear to me after watching “Get Back”. Hidden behind all of the shady aspects inherent in the now defunct “record business” there was at least one feature of it that was not only good, but was perhaps essential to the question of why the music was objectively better during that period. That feature was the separation of the artists and the studio recordists. The artists had “only” to focus on writing, mastering their particular instruments, rehearsing, putting on the best show they can, and growing as musicians. That in itself is a very daunting and difficult list of responsibilities. The same is true for the folks responsible for producing and engineering the artist’s records. Nowadays, I believe too much of a young musician’s fleeting precious time and money that _should_ be spent on honing their musical and performing skills is instead being spent on the very costly and time consuming business of putting together some approximation of a recording studio, and kidding themselves that if they can somehow manage to figure out how all that exotic and expensive studio gear actually works, then the music will just happen. I have to wonder: How many talented musicians are out there making bad studios instead of making great music?

Great point Wyatt! That's kind of the bag we're in. We've got the music writing and performance part down, but we are in the process of building our own studio and recording/producing/engineering/mixing our own album. The recording part is fine, but mixing and re-amping effects is just daunting, exhausting and making me reach the burnout point way faster than expected. Maybe if we could have a friend come in and push the record button for us and then help us mix that would probably make everything a bit more feasible for us.

@@theelectricsplash7384My advice would be record things that are within your skill set, and utilize a professional engineer for the big stuff and mixing. I have a client right now that’s taking that approach, and it seems to be working well for their budget. We tracked the major instruments and lead vocals in the studio, and they are doing background vocals, some guitars, aux percussion, and some other things at the guitarists house. He has a decent setup and they recorded demos there so I’m confident he’ll get something I can work with (which sometimes is also not the case!) Even if you do record the whole thing on your setup and you’re happy with the sounds, it’s really worth hiring a mix engineer to send it to if you aren’t experienced with that. It’s an entire skill set on its own, and fifteen years in I still learn something new on every project! A good mix can enhance decent sounding tracks by a surprising amount, so even if that’s all the budget you can muster, remember it’s so cheap to do that compared to how it used to be!

*This is an excellent idea, Warren!* Setting up my home studio in my 22' x 15' living room/dining room space. I've eliminated the dining room section where the studio will be set up. All will be placed at one end, with the sound throw running down the longer 22' space. Can't do much with the living room end, but I expect a lot of diffusion/absorption from the hard and soft furniture. Trapping the corners will be done in the studio end only. Proper cloud may be tough as the dining room chandelier will have to be eliminated, but a solid one-piece cloud is out because of the light socket. May have to do two strips instead. Setting up the desk at the 38% location permanently is not feasible, so I've built the desk (a coverted wooden kitchen table) with wheels to keep it close to the wall when not in use, and easily rolled out to the sweet 38% spot when in use. I've three 4-space racks with a monitor on top of the middle rack and a 12-space side car for additional gear. Some day I'll actually learn to use all the stuff I've added over the years! Will be adding a roll-out drawer for a MIDI keyboard, computer keyboard and mouse as well. This is only the 2nd time in all my research that I've run across the 38% factor for desk set-up. Would've thought it was more commonly known. Looking forward to this series as I plan on *stealing almost every suggestion presented!* Your vids are terrific and I'm sure we'll pick up a ton of info from your efforts, Warren. By the way, I love that sweet Yamaha guitar you play in some other videos. I've got over 20 guitars myself. One would think I'm something special, based on my collection... but I'm more of a blues hacker who never saw a *Tele* he didn't like!

thx for highlighting Bob Golds room mode calculator. I'd been doing my own measurements, but this is wildly easier and more informative.

The cherry Zaor MIZA has been my room for 2 years now. Absolutely love it! Measured and treated the room myself. Working professionally out of it. I’d be happy to do a little walkthrough if anybody is interested in seeing it!

Hey Warren! This is going to be a great series. I'm sure many folks will look at their environment and start thinking of ways to improve their space. I built a 24x40 studio from the ground up in 1995/6 centered around 3 Adat's which were just becoming available at the time. I researched everything but I was young and had no clue as to acoustics...anything actually...looking back. Lol. Also, no budget to address it properly so all my treatment was homemade. Cheap Auralex 12 inch foam sqares, floor to ceiling in the 5x5 vocal booth. The drum room, 12x12 had 2 outer walls that I had floor to ceiling insulation covered in black burlap that actually sounded really good. I made some gobos from with rigid insulation covered by black burlap as well. Framed 2x4 carpet remnants on backer boards as deflection hanging above the console and more burlap covered panels on all the walls. It wasn't perfect, but it actually did have a positive effect on the sound and for a young guy it was a dream come true. These days I'm solo in an upstairs bedroom looking forward to see how things go for you on this project. I know I'll want to redo everything! Hope the arm and hand are healing up well!

Fantastic Warren! I've been excited for this for a long time and I can't wait for the future of not only this channel, but your buisness in general! You are such a huge inspiration to me, and I must say you are very appreciated!

Years ago I visited a friends big photography studio. One thing I noticed was that everything was wheels. Everything could move around to create different spaces, so when I converted my basement to a recording studio I made everything except the mixing station movable. Every gobo was on wheels, every platform for drums, etc. could be moved. This has proven to be very helpful.

Hey Warren this relates to another one of your videos I just wanted to THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the Alice In Chains D string wah trick on guitars, holy SHITE.

And two of those tricks are from YOU! so I’m entirely grateful. Thank you so so much man. Your tricks made my guitars sound absolutely massive

This is great. I’ve thrown my studio together when we moved house 6yrs ago and have always said ‘I’ll get round to setting it up properly one day’, well with this information I’m gonna learn and set mine up as you do yours.

This is great! I wish I had a room that large. Mine is 9' by 9'. Maybe one wall is 10 feet but I doubt it and it's crammed to the tits with gear. And other stuff too. I made my own acoustic panels but they could be better. What with all of the gear, 2 keyboard racks to the left and right of me, a double tier guitar stand against the back wall that holds ten guitars, shelving units with miscellaneous things on them, an open door closet full of gig bags, tools and fishing gear and a tall cabinet in the corner. I don't think I have much in the way of standing wave buildup but It's hard to say. I rent the house so I'm not going to spend a ton on re-configuring. At least it;s my fun space and I love it! I'm looking forward to more in this series. Cheers Warren and thanks!

OOH! This is going to be a popular series for the channel, without a doubt! My big issue right now, in the process of putting together and improving a bedroom studio, is a fairly prominent air duct molding that goes around where walls meet the ceiling, on two walls only, with an added closet on the side, making for a very uneven room size to work with. I will see how far I can push one of these calculators with the amount of measurement detail that can be put in for uneven walls. Maybe hang some 45 degree clouds off the duct to offset its reflections a bit.

Sooo cool, looking forward for practical and helpful tips :)

Haha me too!

Love this, especially the graphs and diagrams. I have some experience with external soundproofing to minimize sound leak. You need to think of the room as a big bucket of water, wherever the water would leak out so would your sound. Doesnt matter how waterproof your bucket is, if you have a hole in it, it's going to leak. Some problem areas you will find are light and power sockets! You need to back fill them with spray foam often. You want a heavy airtight door. If you take an old hollow core door and fill it with play sand and attach rubber seals all around. Remember to isolate any speakers so there is no acoustic coupling happening. And the number one tip for this is if you know you are going above and beyond (such as a weekend of recording drums) talk to your neighbours before hand if you can and see if theres any no-go times

This is Awesome!!!! Definitely going to consult like this when building a more permanent space! Thanks Warren - looking forward to see the final result :)

Thanks Jon, I filmed this part before the accident.

This is going to be absolutely fantastic for me as my room and updated studio to be are near identical in size even down to having the large window at the mixing station to deal with. I am interested in seeing what you decide for that window. I have had mine "plugged" and covered with heavy drapes for a couple years now and missed not being able to bring some fresh air and sunlight in from time to time. I do have a different situation being that the wall to the right of my table is the wall that has a very large angle drop from the ceiling and I have no clue how to diffuse and absorb properly. I built my own studio table many years ago and it continues to serve my purposes perfectly - so nice chunk of change saved there. Can't wait for the next installment Warren! The timing of you taking this on couldn't be more on point with my schedule. MASSIVE CHEERS SIR!!

I bet you are very excited to be doing another room. Very good advice from those two engineers. This idea won't cost a lot. The room is not long enough to get oodles of bass but who's is. If you can put another rear wall door in (L H corner rear)(not double glazed) and leave both doors open going out into the hallway... it helps the bass to breath a bit more. If you want to close both doors, you can make both door frames filters as well f you don't need to worry about sound going out, and security. The back of the doors can be MDF or left just as a filter to go through and out. Great idea innit. Good to see how it turns out Warren. LOL

Bet your arm is doing marvelously well progress! Feel better soon! You will have intense guitar ideas 💡 when you play again! Make sure you record them lol

This is very exciting! Can't wait to see how it turns out. My room is very very similar so it will be a blast to see how you do this, so I may be able to make adjustments to optimize mine a bit better.

First time watcher - I'm trying to outfit a near cubic room (it's not a full cube, thank heck) with treatment for mixing/listening/office space mixed usage. It's a touch smaller than yours, but this is giving me great inspo for different products/tools to use to get the room listenable! I'm here for this series!

I’m building a studio in my basement right now, 23x16. I’ve been using the FabricWall system and have it installed now, following the videos from Colt Capperune, and am really pleased with the results.

I'm building a semi-isolated bedroom studio/drum room. So far I have used Audimute Isolé panels hung over the large window in this room, with custom cut foamcore panels in each window to insulate and reduce thermal damage to the Isolé panels On the door to the room, I have a panel similar to the Isolé (with mass loaded vinyl) that hangs on the door itself to allow easier access. The rest of the room uses GIK Acoustic bass traps in the corners and clouds on the ceiling, as well as movable freestanding gobos for around the drums. I also have diffusion panels on the wall behind my mix position as well and additional ones above. The room is well controlled now and the drums are no more than 45db outside the room! I like Sweetwater a lot but they didn't offer anything even close to suited to my needs. GIK was the way to go!

Really excited for this series, Warren!

Hey Warren, Thanks again for more awesome content. We happened to be renovating my home, and the last stage was a purpose built studio on a very tight budget (7.5f x 16f). I used Fire rated dry wall because of it’s denseness as the sound rated dry wall was too expensive & didn’t give much better results acoustically, the walls/ceilings were filled with Autex polyester ceiling batts (drop down ceiling for larger air gap). Before spending anything on plugins or gear i invested in 6 broadband absorption panels at the listening position, just recently got a absorption cloud above the listening position. Room sounds pretty good, just need diffusion on the back wall, of which i will use a bookshelf. Don’t have bass issues as my monitors are Emes pink with small 5.5 inch drivers, perfect for the size of the room.

I'd start with the basic structural things that are hardest to correct/change later, before jumping into the "sexy stuff" like acoustics & furniture. Electrics. Including cabling & routing/segregation for power outlets, lighting, data & audio. e.g. Installing a dedicated supply from the DB exclusively for my space reduced my noise floor massively. Then I'd look at flooring, windows, doors, & HVAC as required + consider condensation & moisture control if you're going to be in there a while with no airflow. e.g. In a relatively quiet environment my "widow plug" was open backed for better bass absorption but this lead to a mould build up on the window behind it from condensation, I'm now on 4 layers of curtain & only 2/3 of the panels fitted. It's a real PITA dismantling a room & sorting these things retrospectively, + the downtime it causes too.

Very cool video. I wasn't aware that Sweetwater did anything like this. I kind of went through the same thing with the folks at GIK acoustics when I was looking at treating my mixing room. They gave me great recommendations for traps in my room which greatly helped the way the room sounded. Very cool to see this video should I ever decide to move and have to design another studio. I'm sure this series will be helpful for anyone transforming a room into a studio. Looking to see the future parts to see if there is anything I would do differently to my rooms. Thanks for sharing Waren!!!

When we built our house 11 years ago, I wanted a studio, and wanted to have a full band playing with drums and not disturb our peaceful cul de sac. (So just in case the Beatles dropped in and felt like doing some recording, I could do it.) The block is on a slope, so we built the studio on the bottom level, where the garage would go, so it is half submerged into the hill. I put a hebel (aerated concrete) wall at the front, facing the street. Every book I read said to stop noise, especially bass, you need to surround it with mass so that was what I was looking to do Makes sense because you are looking to absorb sound wave energy, and bass carries the most energy. There must be some formula that shows energy carried in a wave decreases with frequency. If did the job becuase I walk up the drive to the footpath, the drums are pretty much drowned out by the wind whistling through the trees.

Awesome, Warren! I look forward to future development!

Like many others, im sure, i just started a studio in spare bedroom too and am eager to learn. Mic choices to room treatment. Recording electric and acoustic guitar, vocals, cello, violin, trumpet. Starting with scarlett 18i8, and over purchased on mics with guitar center's generous 45 day try and return policy. LDC Warm Audio WA47jr, AKG p420, Sterling ST131, dynamic SM57, ribbon Sterling ST170, smaller LDC Lewitt LCT 040mp and Sterling SL230mp. 3 weeks in and i am struggling to settle on what to return. Lewitts have such high highs and surprising bass they're keepers. 1 LCT on neck of my dreadnaught and 1 sl230 just behind bridge seemed to get best capture so far on Furch acoustic. P420 seems to have more hi end than vocals need, so i'm leaning toward keeping the wa47jr and returning the p420. Especially pairing wa47jr with sm57 on my voice i liked the sound of the 2 blended. Leaning toward krk rockit 5 g4 for monitors. So many decisions and not enough experience to choose wisely :(

Looking forward to seeing this all come together 🙂

That's great to hear Andy!

Wish there was a Store on Sweetwaters's level of affordability here in 🇯🇲 🤦‍♂️

Sorry to hear that!

Great stuff as always, Warren. With smaller (less inputs) interfaces often found in these situations, I'd love to see you do a video about how to record drums with one mic, two mics and four mics as that's often the number of inputs that are available.

a lot of really good information here! thanks for sharing Warren

You're very welcome!

Your timing is perfect! After recently moving to a new house, my combo office/studio room is a spare bedroom almost exactly the same size as yours. I'll be watching future episodes carefully, though my budget will be substantially smaller than yours.

Can't wait to see the finished room ! Good work

Really amazing video, full of interesting info. Thank you 🙌🏻
