DIY $23.00 Mini Sound Booth build in under an hour.

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I wanted to get better sound recording for voice overs at home. I decided to build my own home sound booth for $23.00 with parts from Canadian Tire and Walmart. (Links to these included below) I used the Blue Yeti USB Microphone for this video and loved the results. I no longer need to rent sound studio space which saves me time and money. My mini sound recording booth packs up and stores easily and makes my sound production portable.

    Just a note to those people saying this could be made "better'. Of course it could, anything can! That isn't the point. This does the job and is cheap. Would spending more money make significant and worthwhile improvements? Doubtful. If anyone wants to spend thousands of dollars on a sound booth nobody is stopping them, but that isn't what this video is about. It's about improving your voice recordings for very little time, effort and cash.

    The truth is his design really could be improved upon by making minor modifications based on acoustic princibles. It's kind of funny though, you can spend thousands of dollars on a room and actually make it worse! At the end of a day it wasn't a bad idea at all! Totally want to try to make a super bad ass version of his idea.

    Thank you Les for posting this!! Excellent advice. I got my music on the "air" using my home recording studio at a time when the internet was not available. One of my ideas which I got from a book as opposed to the internet, was how to build a simple sound studio.I used a "Tape recorder". And a mixer. And plenty of sound proofing. Tape has it's own ambient noise which you have to deal with during mixing and as much elimination of noise as possible. When digital programs came around I transferred those tape recordings into excellent CD quality recordings. Mike placement , which I am sure Les McDonald knows about is essential along with installing sound proofing and this kind of stuff. But it can be done. Especially now. It is easier than ever to record quaility recordings.

    Just wanted to let you know that your video inspired me to create my own sound booth. While mine differs from yours in construction, it is serving the purpose nicely. I used interlocking foam mats that I had from my kindergarten teaching years. I made a cube from them, and supported it underneath with a tv tray and from the inside, I used a small stand that I had for holding up video lighting. When I want things really soundproof, I put my foam blanket over it and over myself as well. Just wanted to say thanks as i never would have thought to do this without the seeds of ideas and creation your video planted in my brain.

I am devoted to promoting your video to others (in fact I just did a few minutes ago) because I have a Yeti Demonstration video that I made and uploaded to my channel. It became and still is very popular because my husband is a system PC engineer and we were able to solve Yeti user problems 99% of the time. This generated referrals and now I intend to refer YOUR mini sound booth video as well. Genius! Thank you!

    First off... KUDOS for going home made. I always like and appreciate innovation like this. I am a VO talent with a home studio aw well... I am listening to this video thru my studio setup and in my Sennheiser HD280Pro Studio Monitoring Headphones as to not have outside elements interfere with my observation of your audio. I can hear definitive room reflection at the beginning of the video when you are looking at the camera... I am not sure what Mic you are using at the beginning but it sounds like the Yeti at a distance... then you cut to the box and audio recorded within... my first impressions is that the room reflections are still there and not eliminated or reduced at all. You also get a slight proximity effect as you are in a small enclosed area with the mic. In fact, the recording in the vocal booth amplifies the room noise more as I can hear your house furnace/fan running which was not so obvious in the first part of the video but somehow became more obvious in the last part of the video when you returned to looking at the camera. So all in all, a good attempt but to get the most bang for the buck (so to speak) you should sound treat the room more and the immediate area around the mic from smooth reflective surfaces. The Yeti is prone to pick up fan noises too... so move the mic further away from your computer and ensure the pickup pattern is set to Cardiod. In post production on your audio, if you cannot minimize the room noise and reflections down to an absolute minimum, you should process thru a noisegate. I actually cover these topics on a series I do on my channel... stop on over and check out the discussion.

    I'd suggest adding some foam to the lid and finding a way to prop/stand/tape it in a stable way beside/behind you to catch any reverb that escapes the foam and plastic container. In lieu of spending more money for thicker foam, you could use two layers in the back/bottom of the container as well. Once you've glued the first layer in simply use a few safety pins to secure the next layer to it. Kudos still, probably the best setup for cheap I've seen yet. (I know one radio pro who still simply drapes a beach towel over her head and makes a "tent". It's hard to fault her setup as she's getting repeat jobs using this setup so she's doing something right.)

    It would be better if it went over your head than the mic. Dampening is meant to go behind the vocalist for the biggest effect. Sometimes filters are put behind the mic, but its only for that extra bit....e.g. could the same effect happen if you turned the desk facing away from the wall, and just stuck the foam on the wall. (I understand the impracticality i guess)...But also you face away from walls for best positioningso maybe in this bad positioning of all your kit if your mic is on that desk, its the best solution?

    I recommend using a wood crate instead of a plastic one. Sorry but, after you said, "all of the voice recording you're going to hear throughout this tutorial was recorded in this little mini booth" and "you be the judge" and then I heard the recording, it very well sounded like a plastic bin (at least in the mid-low frequencies). The foam doesn't absorb mid-low frequencies, so the plastic bin vibrates and creates the mid-low resonance that is audible. Wood might help with that (I might also include an idea I had to stack layers and layers of thin cardboard strips to make walls to diffuse even more sound). Also, if one didn't want to buy acoustic foam, perhaps balsa wedges (such as from a cheap BALSA LOT on ebay) would be a nice replacement for dense foam. Someone should try balsa. Even flat panels of it are sold for sound absorbers online. On a positive note, my local Wal-Mart has started selling wooden bins. So aside those issues, great idea and I'm going to try it.

    Yamsassi I found out balsa is very effective, as some commercial sound-absorbing panels are balsa. I also read a research paper that concluded carpet is better than other cheap sound-absorbing materials. I have not tested other wood yet. I would use a cheap wood crate, cover it in balsa wedges (since they are cheaper than balsa panels and are sold as manufacturing leftovers on eBay), then make the inside all carpet. I haven't tried making a vocal booth yet.

    I suggest dropping a terrycloth towel over the front. Acts as a pop filter and deadens a lot of room noise. And let's not forget a lot of issues can be improved if not perfected in post production. Many comments come from people who have much better ears that most audiences, so what they hear and think is mostly academic. If most listeners think it sounds good, it is good enough. Don't let perfect, or perfectionists, be the enemy of good. Go build your studio and start creating.

    While this method does sound better than a microphone sitting on an open desk it still suffers from the fact that the sound source (your voice) is coming from an open room, so the reverb is still present. It is however, greatly diminished since the reflections are deadened by the box. Good way to control, but not completely eliminate reverb.

    Unfortunately Rafael is completely and utterly wrong. My university acoustics class took bedding foam, quilts, carpet, as well as actual acoustic treatment foam to measure the amount of filter you get from each substance to which frequencies. Live-wire is correct. None of the alternatives filter out ANY harsh frequency’s that audio engineers deem "unpleasant". This is an awful portable vocal booth that will not filter but add unwanted frequencies due to the plastic. The "good" sound quality most of you are hearing would sound better if it were not even there. If you were to use this from a musical standpoint, where you are mixing vocals with other instruments, this would become evident really quickly.

He had to have the mic on his shirt to record the portion where he wanted a real-time video. He meant that everything where he's doing a voice-over narration (not video) was recorded with the yeti. No offense, but that's kind of a dumb question. haha

    Eddie Prieboy that's what I was saying. The guy in the video said he was recording everything with the Yeti. Stevepunk was basically implying that he was lying because there's a clip on mic. I was explaining that he used the clip on mic to record the very beginning, but the voice over part was recorded with the yeti. You were simply explaining the reasoning behind what I said. He didn't use the clip on mic to record the primary point of the video.
