Part of the problem is that bass waves are "bigger" than higher frequencies so cutting off the top would actually help, or at least removing the acoustical foam. Remember that being in front of the box during recording also blocks sound pressure and contributes to the boxy effect. Experiment with the distance you are from the mic, and you may also find that that will help.

The testing was very well done ! It helped convince me of the potential of such a build. I intend to record book readings for a local audio librabry project (for people unable to read) and I will probably build a similar device ! :-) However, I would recommend the video from diy perks about the comparative performances of various cheap sound insulating materials. It appears that stacked towels (shower towels that is) are hugely better than usual insulating foam. So I think I'll build a similar booth, only with towels from the local charity store instead of foam.

What are your tips for using this? I made the box exactly the same way but it sounds really bassy. Where should the mic be and where should I talk from?

@JoeLamOfficial

8 жыл бұрын

That's one side effect for using a small box. using a larger box, speaking slightly further away from the mic and tweaking the EQ audio with software can reduce some of the bass, also depends what mic you are using as well. Some mics are naturally more bassy.

Hamaji Neo Only way is to speak less close to the mic and if that doesn't help, use software (EQ) to lower the bass in your recording if the mic itself is very bass heavy. The box does emphasise this even more being in a compact space. There's not too much room for the sound to escape to.

What is the application? Is it live voice, voice over (I am guessing not since they like it bassy) or music? If it is music, I always roll off 100hz to 150hz, gone, cya, out of there. So I will roll off guitars at 120 then the vocal at 110 or 130, depends on the singer and such. But 100 to 150 on down, can be gone. If your box has to be this size, this box is pretty dang small. Put your mic all the way back, mount a pop filter to the box, and get some more distance. Or, if you can't do the above, add some bass ports in it. They are dirt cheap to buy, or you can make them out of pvc. Bass ports on a small box will do wonders. Or use a much bigger box. More distance with a pop filter. Roll off 100 to 150hz on EQ, and sometimes I like to boost it right before the roll off.

I found a link to your video on Amazon while considering the purchase of the ridiculously under-priced Blue Yeti microphone with built-in A/D converter to make it USB compatible. I'm listening at 6:00 AM through a pair of Etymotic Research earbuds, which reveal very subtle differences in sound quality. In terms of relating to your voice and image in this video over all, I slightly prefer the sound of your lavaliere mic, even though it is much noisier, because in the right location the ambience contextualizes your presentation for me, and perhaps because you are just more relaxed when you're not facing the mic. Of course, one doesn't always want that much audio information in a recording or even a conversation. The portable soundbooth you created is brilliant. Not to state the obvious, but it might be better if you raised it up so you wouldn't have to lean forward and down to use it. I would love to hear a sample clip with your mouth at various distances from the mic (including much closer to the pop filter, almost touching it) for comparison's sake. You have a wonderful, confident and reassuring voice. When I was your age, I did a couple of commercials and some voice-over for local TV and radio stations, and I can say with confidence that you've got the goods if you ever want to go that route. You probably won't get paid for it (at least at first), but it's quite fun. Thank you for showing me and your 70,000 other viewers how to construct an inexpensive and portable sound booth. I truly appreciate it.

Mark Hubbard Hi Mark. First of all, thank you for watching my video and leaving me a nice constructive, interesting message. The lav mic is very noisy and the cable is really long which makes it annoying to use, but mainly the noise from the lav mic really puts me off personally hence why I wanted to explore the sound booth and the purchase of the Yeti mic in the first place but then I found that the Yeti would pick up lots of background sound (not from the mic itself). I would like to do more comparison if I had the time, but unfortunately at the moment video production has been slow due to real-life work commitments. I'm shocked that you think my voice is suitable for VO stuff, I personally find my voice rather annoying and strange even though I have to listen to it day in and out when I'm editing my own videos lol. Thank you again for your feedback.

I like the box sound. I listen to many audiobooks and the slight difference in sound quality does make a difference for my listening pleasure. Hoping to recored an audio version of my book and like your DIY video.

I'm being so honest I could not tell the difference from it being in the Box to being out of the box but when you put it back into the box I could hear the difference it did sound Tighter and clearer

Actually, when the mic is out of the box the voice sounds more natural. Into the box the voice has a lot of bass which is not natural at all. The buzz noise from the computer can be completely removed if you put a towel under the mic.

Thanks for the tip, it is possible to tweak the recording in post to remove some of the bass though. Depends if you or the user prefers to have a bass-heavier sound.

Really no IKEA in New Zealand? The box isn't that critical to be honest, any box will do. The acoustic foam is the key here. Thanks for watching bud!

Absolutely awesome. Might have to build one myself.

Awesome video. I made one with an additional step - reinforcing my mattress foam inserts with foam core (for added insulation and sturdiness) - sounds is pretty good. Thank you!

Brilliant video. I happened to have an ikea box sitting in my office, and some egg crate foam in the garage. I had a "box" like your built within 5 minutes of watching your video, and got similar stellar results (also using a Blue Yeti.) If you don't have a pop filter, you can also just drape a t-shirt over the front of the box, and it'll cut your pops and hisses. For those making this, a utility knife also works great to cut the foam if you don't have a bread knife. I think I agree that there's a lot more bass that comes with this solution. I can see times where that's a fit and times where it isn't. I also found, that even with this on my desk, my laptop hard drive and fan (running Audacity) were still giving enough vibration that my mic was picking it up. Had to leave them on a separate table. I found that putting my script on a stand behind the box worked well, as I could still reach and see it, but it kept me facing the mic. Thanks again for the shared ingenuity.

Hi Ben, thanks for watching. I like your idea with a shirt over the box. Never thought or heard of that before. Thanks again for the support.

This is a great explanation of a difficult subject. Thanks.

Very cool. The Ikea box idea was a nice addition. I had thought about the foam, but was going to use a cardboard box. I much prefer the idea you had. Thanks!
