I honestly wasn’t expecting too much from this video as I’ve seen so many KZread “experts” try to talk about setting up panels on the walls. I was pleasantly surprised. I actually learned a few details that I wanted to known and hadn’t heard elsewhere. 👍🏻

How can anyone dislike this video? It's very informative. Thanks!

That was very useful! Thanks!

Great video, I resolved many questions about how to improve the sound at home. Thank you!

Rober, you viewed this video over 2 years ago. Do you now know that foam is useless? Have you learned a lot more about studio treatment since?

Wow ... I loved this Video. Great insights here. God bless

Thank you!!!!! Easy tips for newcomers as myself.

Great Video ! Learnt some basics of sound wave behaviour. I have a problem with a large room and was looking to understand it. You gave me the lead. Thank you very much

awesome video ! easy to follow love the visuals !

Great video, thank you so much.

Thank you for making this simple enough for my little brain to understand. Got my subscribtion! I'm trying to build my first professional home studio and haven't even shopped for sound software for the room yet.

THIS VIDEO IS EXCELLENT!

This was insanely helpful!

Simple and clear. Thank you so much! Greetings from Paris ;)!!!

Great video! Thanks

Excellent video thankyou

Another thing the video doesn’t talk about is that all panels attached to walls are only effective at absorbing mid and high frequencies based on the thickness of the panel. A 2 inch thick panel when attached to a wall will only ever be able to absorb down to about 1.7KHz. Everything below that bounces right off and still reflects around the room regardless of what the panel is made of.

Great clip, very informative.

great work thanks

This video helped me loads. I'm building a bedroom studio for production, recording, mixing, and mastering and am completely uneducated in this area. This information was instantly helpful. Thank you! Subscribed and liked. :)

Blair James Ryan It’s not useless, know it all. It still absorbs high to mid frequency reflections to remove ‘echo’ from a room. Foam is less effective for low frequencies, but it’s not useless

Amazing video and not an hour long!

thanx man.🤘

very accurate plans for something like that I found on Avasva

Came here for the info. Stayed for the acting!

the table in front of you dude :O early reflections

You didn't talk about the design of the panels though. There's flat panels, pyramids, ramped, waved, ridged, cupped ect. For most people it's probably just an aesthetic choice but it probably does have a small impact on the effectiveness as foam doesn't absorb 100% of the sound.

Hey, man... Thanks for the video. I've struggling with my shitty acoustics... My vocals and acoustic guitar recordings are awful. Have to work on that!

Looks like my studio. Maroon and gray absortion panels on an orange wall.. great minds.. .

Whag kind of acoustic treatment do I use? Diffusion, but I don't use panels. I just have stuff everywhere, lol.

SparkofLight you could do it and that is perfect for vocal both's, it could even be roundish or like an romboid, but for mixing squared rooms are preferred because they provide the best stereo imaging which is very important in a mix.

Thanks! A lot of trial and error is going on in my little studio..

Great superb

I think that was awesome! Wish you would teach that at koocam. I would definitely pay to learn that from u to get suitable answers for my questions.

Good resource right here! Just got my own room to make a studio and I'm doing my first room treatment ever. Would you guys be able to give me your opinion on the best possible setup if I send you a sketch of my room?

Great video, thanks for the explanation. However, what would be the best in case one of the walls mostly exists from glass windows (not wanting to block the windows as it's the only source of natural light for the multipurpose room)?

Nice video, thank you. You wanted a comment, so here it is :P I have 6 weird panels (kinda shaped like Tetris pieces. Tetrominos?) And I'm curious on how to best place them. I can't sit at a perfect position in my room, and I'm not mixing, just want to make the room less echoey as I also want to do streaming, which means using a microphone. I think I'll place one pair behind my speakers and two pairs on the wall behind me as my left wall is a window, and the wall on my right is quite far away (thinking about first reflection points). I'll have to do a test to see what's the most effective, with small nails, they are easy to move around before making a decision (though my landlord might disagree..).

Nice info, however I'd like to correct you in describing Bass Traps. Real Bass traps are not made of foam. Those so called Bass Traps are just a marketing ploy (they only work on high and mid frequencies). Real Bass Traps are either membrane traps, helmholtz resonators or traps with rock wool or fiberglass with an air gap inside.

Exactly. I am getting tired of everybody posting foam as a solution to bass when technically it simply cannot work. What we have here is yet another video suggesting solutions with no research done. Poor effort.

@agmsmith4079

6 жыл бұрын

Well technically any absorber, foam or fiberglass, can absorb bass if it is thick enough. To absorb 70Hz it needs to be 4 feet thick! OC703 that is 4 feet thick will absorb about 80% or 85% of the energy of a 70 Hz wave. A 4 foot thick auralex foam panel will only absorb about 20% of the energy of a 70Hz wave. So foam will still absorb, just really poorly! Lol

@hotmustafar3351

Bass traps are made out of foam and work in every frequency depending on the measurments. You just need alot of space for a foam absorber that should absorb low frequencies since it needs to be about 1-2 m in depth. This type does get used in the industry.

Great

I can see why it would be helpful to hear a mix in a room as well as on headphones BUT I was more interested in this from a recording rather than mixing perspective. I know this depends on the type of mic you’re using, I have a cardioid mic which shouldn’t pick up reflections from the wall I’m facing, so I’m guessing I need foam on the back wall?

Is the acoustic treatment of the Tracking room as important as that of the Control room? Does 50% of the wall surfaces of the Tracking room have to be covered as well? Does the Tracking room also need Bass traps?

Sound deflectors and acoustic treatment together? Would that work?

Q: is it better to use a checkerboard pattern w/ spaces, or solid lines with spaces same size (50% coverage for each) ?

What kind of glue did you use to stick the panels to the wall?

How does one move bass from corners to a certain part of the room like the center?

So what would be a better shaped room than a rectangle ? And what about a vocal booth is it not good to cover the entire booth with isolation pads?

iv already started the 500x500x40mm tiles Studio Room Treatment in my room Behind my microphone and Pioneer CDJs filling the whole back wall, now.... the other wall where the monitors play to is unprotected at the moment ive ordered more tiles does it really matter i can just fill the other side of the wall, im guessing when your room starts to become sounding dead then ive done it yeh

I got one question if u don't mind I'm confused if I should buy studio monitors or acoustic treatment since I'm on a budget I do have headphones just don't know which ones to choose first

The soft sponge absorbs high frequencies, but low bounces and makes a band imbalance and not a true frequency band for the listener, right ?

Ryanair Boarding musik! Ahaha nice! I actually like this track! Btw nice video!

Hey David Day, this is Michael Dey.

I've got a blue yeti mic and my vocals always sound too reverby and wet and don't stand out in a mix. should I get the kaotica eyeball? are there cheaper options?

My studio is a bedroom with a closet in one corner. The other situation is its my apartment. Which means stuff can not be placed on walls. What would you suggest for diffusing the sound? Bass traps could be used. Also, can monitors be placed without the help of a friend?

One of the foam panels is crooked in the background.

Sir would dis help us in soundproofing a room. If not how to do it?

Hello, Does this help in sound proofing a room? Meaning restrict outside noise coming into the room? What solutions would you recommend?

Late comment. But I think the more devices you're able to listen your mix with, the better. Even Bluetooth speakers, earbuds, cellphones and laptops with their weak ass speakers will give you a acurrate representation of what the average listener will hear.

How about placing panels around mic itself? Is it more effective and less budget??

So you're saying to treat the control room but what about the tracking room?

Where's is the link for the studio monitor placement?

Aarón Angulo the walls? Just normal walls. In terms of foam, you can buy the panels online

Since I don't have the money to pay an acoustic engineer to evaluate my control room, I used my own approach to design and build my control room. It may sound fair, it may sound horrible, I have no idea. But the mixes seem to translate well, except having too much bass. After seveal mixes bass heavy, I stopped using equalizers to "flatten" my JBL 4312's and tried to make the JBL's sound as close to my car stereo as I could. Also I pushed the JBL, against the front wall rather than bring in away from the wall. Those two steps seemed to work. Using my NS10's I simply turn off the room equalizers. But if an engineer came to examine my control room he may aghast of what it actuall sounds like. Maybe someday I may pay someone to come take a listen. KZread Joe Logsdon & Company

Dont you want a dull sound before you start editing audio?

How thick or thin something is does not have any relationship to its density. Also, mirror trick should work best if your head is same height as speaker. Otherwise, I picked up some new information with the 30-40% suggestion. Thanks.

how about using headphones?

im Ghana, i have tried to buy from adorama but i cant get the option

What software you uses in windows

You said all kinds of polyurethane foam do not work. What is the density of the foam you recommend? Thanks in advance.

Link for those panels?

How about apartment phonic and acoustic isolation? I live in a 3rd floor and I don’t want my neighbors to hear me sing or play violin. They are old people and I don’t want in any kind to make the life noise for them every day. Do you recommend full coverage on the walls and sealing? Thank you
