How to Build a Recording Studio : The Recording Booth : Building a Professional Recording Studio

[colinwar]

hahaha, i love the unfiltered comments. serves you idiots right putting this shit on youtube.

[xash007]

none of your video's help ... :/

[therealfactor]

"Traps the sound within the particles." Are you functionally fucking retarded? Do you think that if you talk like you know something people will believe it?  Sadly, it does. So keep your fucking mouth shut. I'm being extremely serious.

[guitarsbunch347]

hot damn this shit is so fuckin retarted i think im gonna go piss all this bullshit out of my head!!! go hang yourselves!!!!!

[starstarstar42]

Please rename this channel to USELESSVILLAGE.

[SwitchedProjex]

nice recording studio... NOBODY CARES ASSHOLE!!!

[HEMAS13]

let the soundn scape open the door and everything u said will come flying out like repeating yourself! take it from the experts

[royorbitol]

Does the sound build up over the years, when its trapped in there.....?

Should I let it escape every now and then?

[RonansRecordingShow]

Actually having one of the panes of glass slanted does not "trap the sound", but reduces sympathetic resonance between the two panes.

[JCFreak1121]

Are you kidding me! Wow thanks for the tip. Now I know how to construct an entire music studio! Good job "Expert" village.

[thomas1985deftones]

This didn't explain anything, it just let that dude advertise is shitty studio!

[Josiuh]

THIS DIDNT TELL ME HOW TO BUILD A RECORDING STUDIO!!!! CHANGE TITLE!!!!!!!!!!!

[polyphony89]

Every time I try to look for advice on Youtube I find this expert village shit which just pisses me off. I didn't select this video to hear some hack explanation of acoustic decoupling I wanted ideas on how to make a vocal booth. Looks like I'll have to do it the hard way and work it out my self because this Expert Village shit teaches you nothing and I am now dumber and extremely frustrated after watching this video!

[BohPass]

What Buddy fails to explain is that since the two layers of glass are not parallel, any sound that does penetrate one layer of glass is not reflected off the other layer at the same angle. Therefore, the vibrating air works its way downward and loses energy as the gap increases and does not continue to resonate between the two layers. If anything "traps" the sound, it's the vacuum that should be between the layers of glass if it's a proper install. These expertvillage videos are very poor.

I have that painting :)

[DJWildstyleTV]

My home studio is under works we posted a small tour and part one of converting a bedroom closet into a nice vocal booth. If you wanna check it out go to djwildstyletv.

[JDMCB7S]

how the f***k do u show how to make a booth

[mediadigitalonline]

How much is gonna be, if i make one same as you did?

[blix409]

@mediadigitalonline like nothing. closets just need foam.hang blankets in the closet. If you're recording in a closet don't waste your money.

[Mc3FlowProductions]

thx for that, prety helpful

[mpelletier92]

Expert Village is probably the worst shit ever made to teach people how to do something.

[MaurqelHbkWatts]

damn right

[FiSTFigHT09]

ey u may dink dyr stupid but it works, wen u slant ur windows like how its done on da video the sound is shot bk in a dif direction keepin it out of you mike

[mpelletier92]

I'm not talking about the technique he's using, I know that's a good way to build a studio. I was just saying that expertvillage suck in everything with all those "experts" who makes shitty tutorials.

[juiciibeats]

DOUUUUUUUUUUUCHHEEEE:]

[TheSmoothCriminal]

FUCK THAT SHIT

[GodspeedingCar]

just because its sound proof doesn't mean its a good environment to record in. i could make a 3 foot thick concrete box and rocord in it if all i cared about was it being sound proof. it'd be cheeper...

[ExtranjeroProduction]

It mean's that is a perfect environment top record in depending on the genre

[GodspeedingCar]

i agree, it just didn't come out that way. it seemed he was stressing how "sound proof" it was. if you make video's with helpful tips, a good point to make would have been that sound proofing isn't necessarily what your main goal should be. sound proofing and designing a room sonically are different things. either way, for a minute in length i guess he did his best

[enacra101]

@GodspeedingCar true, theres still room acoustics and dampening to worry about, siund proofing is the last of your worries unless you have neighbors

[chanelite1]

jajajajaj read!

[djcsr]

"...and within this the sound is unable to escape" WTF is this moron talking about? It looks like he turned on a video camera, started talking, then realized that he had no idea what he was talking about so he made something up!

A tip for all you "Expert Village" people... before you make a video, buy a book, do some reading and actually learn enough so you can attempt to pass yourself off as an expert. When you make shit up, we can tell!

[tabster28]

i find my basement is the best for vocal recording,its very dry

[HRcircut85]

The title of this shit took longer to read than fucking entirety of this video, Expert village is horseshit.  I fucking hate you people, none of your videos help at all, Just when I think i find a video with relevance to what I'm searching, I see your bum fuck logo and know its going to be worthless. Don't ever do a another video again unless it is ACTUALLY HELPFUL AND NOT 20 Seconds LONG!!!!!!!!!

[TimTkachyk]

@HRcircut85 Haha! OMG so true. I agree completely with what you said, and am equally pissed with these assholes.. but your delivery made me smile. Fucking brilliant lol :P

[ollecarlsson]

fu*k the glasses Im building it right now without any damn glass, its gonna be dark and heavy rituals while were recording....

[cnkrain]

wow that helps.. . a lot.. b-shit!

[hexdcs]

LMFAO about the glass

[UberTroll13]

lol about the glass

That's sound insulating, it prevents sound coming from outside into the mic or outside to the mixer who's trying to concentrate. :P

[genevaslab]

that's bollocks about the glass, it's slanted so the reflection of the sound hits a diffuser or the dampened wall and is eliminated. second of all why would anybody take advice from somebody who's sound quality on their video sounds shit

[DigiRarefaction]

Yes, you are correct. Also, the sound should be slanted on the other so that when the engineer is mixing the sound won't bounce directly towards him. All expertvillage videos are shit.

[james07jamesjames]

your right dude! :))

[Bootwell]

thats what i thought, the acoustics in that room sound terrible

[ilovefun321]

You are wrong. The real reason why glass is slanted is so that there are no frequencies that resonate between the two. Otherwise you will have glass that resonates at a specific frequency that you would never be able to get rid of unless you removed the glass. The reflection is just the added benefit of this as well to keep waves from resonating within the rooms or reflecting back to the vocalist.

[tilfrie]

I second that

[r0manyk]

consumer grade camcorders don't have mic inputs, which it looks like they were using.

...and, 'errrr', i'm not sure who cares about the dead space between glasses, or why i'm receiving a tip.

[r0manyk]

He is merely explaining components of a recording booth, a la video description. This is a Youtube video, who cares if the sound quality is sub-par. Why would we expect a sound recordist to own professional video equipment? He doesn't claim that slanted glass alone prevents audio from seeping - he does say that WITHIN the two pieces of glass, it will not escape. Since when did a lack of reading and listening skills give someone the authority to criticize the proper way to record audio? Sheesh.

[heyawhaw]

errr ... shouldn't a pro recordist care a little more than other people about sound quality? He should have a few pro level mics somewhere? A window in a recording studio is a evil necessity in the first place, it bounces sound pretty good which is bad in a studio, therefor the slant away from the microphone. Who cares about the dead space between the glasses. It's non moving air to isolate the studio from the control room.. Just a tip: Not everything on YouTube is true, even from Expert village

[javieralza]

how doi i download the program.....

[csmceo]

want to see what they sound like in the end...

check out LIL BRUH in TOLEDO

[gab2k9]

geez, who hires these people? They know f**k all

[JamieCunningham]

lol

I think they wanna nake it easy to understand for other poeple.

Jamie

[demofactory]

Er, uh. You built a recording studio (pro at that), and your Youtube audio is still distorted and very dull sounding. Are you the get the coffee guy, or the untangle the cables guy? I don't mean to be harsh, but...

[BuildThisRoom]

I like that part about sound getting trapped in between the glass panes! Those EV people, where DO they come from!

[papitored]

LMAO, they are clueless I'm still trippin on the explanation of the glass. The reason the glass is tilte is because of sound deflection back to the mic.

[aliengtr]

yeah i saw the same looking booth at the adult bookstore, costs quarter to see movies in there though and can you explain what that hole is waist high into the next booth?

[bassmaster5675]

wow. expert village people are fing stupid. at least when it comes to anything about recording studios, or logic. haha

[djmykill]

i dont think so ,,,,wat a retard

[smily1901]

This guy doesn't seem like he knows what he is talking about. Most videos by EV are not helpful.

[boshnjakica]

thats probably the ugliest booth ive seen.

[SeTSwiPe]

The glass information is incorrect. The slant doesn't stop sound seepage. It redirects reflection so that the sound doesn't reflect back flatly. Optimally, one is supposed to face the glass downwards so sound goes away from the mic, which is usually higher. You COULD do it upwards, but have to worry more about reflections.

[jearms93]

I asked How To Build Not how you build it!...

[Dzoni73]

Expert Villages videos sucks, they are short, incorrect, and what they "recommend" are so expensive.....

[djduckyduck]

what if you slanted both glass

[CakesVanleer]

LAMIATED GLASS.

[BboyElectrix]

probably plexiglass or something

[Bkamai]

What type of glass is that?

[buddha3838]

Its probably leadened glass. Its a specialty glass that you can usually order but it's expensive

[SeTSwiPe]

either laminated or insulated glass, but don't listen to him, the slant doesn't help or hider sound from escaping.

[TejpalTV]

help or "hider" ey?

[KillerNumberX]

It's made out of a mix of 100% pure crystaline gold, laced with billions of tiny transparent diamonds; this completely soundproofs the room.

The cost is only $999,999,999,999.82, just like all the other options and ideas "expertvillage" offers and suggests.

[dkrumrie123]

hahaha

[St4rtDr4maMUSIC]

LMFAO! noice

[ibl33d]

lol
