How to make Studio Sound Absortion (Under $100) HD

[ThaReaIFake]

So can we just take the stuff out of our bed and use that as sound proofing?

[GrupoCupidoOfficial]

BTW can someone tell me what that soundproof crap is called?

[GrupoCupidoOfficial]

Did anyone else notice he is a albino? Not making fun of, but thats cool, cause its rare.

[bigden25]

@GrupoCupidoOfficial He's not albino. He's Irish. Which is also cool.

[PuffWebEcig]

Lol, sound proofing is keeping sound from getting in or out. Sound absorption is reducing echo, room modes, and standing waves. Neither have anything to do with the other. These are absorper panels, there is no such thing as sound proofing panels. Sound proofing is done with the construction of the room, not the treatment.

[bondenjostein]

Seems like some of you need a clarification as to why the sound proofing is needed. When you record drums for example, there are ALOT of different sounds getting thrown around the room. When you sit down with the mix afterwards,you want to get a clean as possible sound. Sound proofing reduces the echo getting thrown back at the mic's. You dont need to proof the entire room (You shouldn't), but corners are important, and just some squares on different places along the wall.

[Dwallz420]

Did it make a noticeable difference with the sound proofing?

[tmg78ohio]

LMAO I just learned how to waste 3 minutes and 39 seconds for less than $100.00

[gmc400ex]

panel came out very good, what is the material that you stuffed it with?

[RedNeckJetSkie]

Lol i just noticed im watching this a year after it was posted :3

[CSwiss]

lol. This shit was like a comedy. With all that stuff you had layin around. I was thinkin maybe the whole room will get convert, but you only did a window with it. hahaha. That was funny. Thanks for the video.

[ignorantnikka]

[omarphi215]

nice vid, even nicer e30!!!!

[wazonu]

A bit similar to what's in my editing studio.

[sirohi29]

bob the builder..!!!

[ChrisArvinNeffIN]

Next project......paint your fence!!!!! Thanks for the video.

[myheadface]

I can't believe all the people here who don't get how important it is to have absorption panels in a studio???

Awesome video bro! You did a really good job... they look great too! I'm going to use your method to build me some.

[kanesaid]

thanks, that's easy and cheaper

[dizzymaine]

WAHT RACE ARE YOU AHHHHHH

[ehandkz]

@dizzymaine Pee.

[Tyler5646]

so if i were to use his in my room (wich is larger then 3x2 feet squared) will all the sound in my room be attracted to it or is this justs the dumest thing i have ever scene?

[TheFunkmeisterD]

Excellent vid! The exposed beams and black material looks good. Do you have any before and after measurements? Thanks

[FREETHINKITOVA]

gingers have powers did you see how he made his dad appear with a nod of his head.

[Chipinjack]

man..is that a cherry red '89 BMW 318i in your driveway ??

[TakeThisChancee]

hey, where did you get that black fabric and what is the name of it?

[MrBlackBrit]

Quit clapping your hands, fag.

[leefamous]

For those of you wondering, it is 'Roxul 12-Pack 47"L x 15-1/4"W x 3"D 0-R Stone Wool Insulation Batts'.

[lefkada88]

how is this material called?!

[Footlesspluto23]

Man did u see that old gezzer helping that kid i was like dam!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stefanopunkskate]

hey dude.. .where can I buy those foam soundproofing things... and what is the product exactly called?

[cantfixstupidboy]

Could I use this in my vocal booth instead of foam? Would it be the same? Thnx

[maderomadero]

ur dad or who ever helped is a G for helping you.

[weisson001]

Auralex foams has a particular shape on the foam, like some kind of little dunes that are supposed to cancel certain sound frequencies. Yours, in contrast, doesn't have those shapes, yours is a flat pad. So, are those little foam shapes really important at the moment of reverb canceling, do they really make any difference on sound quality? or does a flat pad works fine as well?

[MrElectronik91]

Pease out lol

nice video

[guitmeister]

The tools are more than a hun.....fool

[MasterHak]

good job bro

[tech5353]

it is the same stuff as is in your home walls, and the same principle he uses with fabric is used for keeping you safe in your home. A simple barrier. Also on a different topic, it's acoustic treatment, not sound proofing, sound proofing is to keep sound out of your room and requires floating walls and pouring concrete. This is to deaden sound, kill standing waves, and cancel reflections. It looks like he made a bass trap.

[tech5353]

@dmcrae007 that's what the fabric and wood frame is for, to keep the stuff from flying around in the air. Rigid fiberglass panels (a woven fabric version of the blown fiberglass insulation, much like what he is using) has been tested to work as well as auralex foam when used properly...just make sure to wear a mask when you initially build the stuff, give it a while to settle before bringing it in your studio and you should be fine unless you plan for someone to rip the cover off.

[MrAntHeezie]

@tech5353 Many Cases It Works Better Than Auralex Seeing That The Foam Is Usually Thin As Hell. Just Wanted To Chime In Bruh

[karp821]

@MrAntHeezie Why Do You Use A Cap For Every Word?

[CountryMaster16]

if that thing costs you over 30 bugs your doing it wrong!

[HarunDanyal]

@CountryMaster16 What is the exchange rate from bugs to Canadian Dollars?

[CountryMaster16]

@HarunDanyal i dont know xd

[jimmy2035]

Could I sound proof a door like the way you showed us? Thanks for the video btw, very clever and practical.

[xxPINKxx456]

What is the soundproofing insulation called?? I can use this design! thanks



[JoshuaHopkin]

@xxPINKxx456 You can use fibre glass insulation and it works just the same and cheap

[666Conscience]

we drink every time he says ahh ,or umm aha I'm fuckdkd smashsm ed

[1nsaneHeadshotZ]

ALBINO!!!!!!

[DjLOCKSTEADY]

What kind of wood did you use for this

?

[vanpelt132]

very nice!! ;)

[37no37]

what is the function of that frame exactly in the corner.

[Bweemo]

It's just Fiberglass Insulation from what it looks like... Probably could work with 703 acoustic fiberglass and lose the framing, it'd be like the walls and panels in a movie theater.

[jimmybo0m]

yo wats that foam material stuff called?.

[SnERdMusic]

Just get studio sound proofing foam from ebay

[HighscoreBoy]

parental supervision advised

[BigMoney891]

wats the name of the foam?

[logansdrums]

lol i thought you were going to do a room under $100 CRAP!

[malebassplayer1990]

@logansdrums it says in the description he did 5 panels for $98

[wdowa94]

@logansdrums Me with my band were made practice room for... 120PLN and that's about.. 35$?

[kunfucanine]

Does that small addition really make a difference?

[bt97gml]

@kunfucanine More than you could imagine. Sound doesn't reverberate evenly, so if you can hunt down problem spots, a little goes a long way.

[idreamtofflight]

@kunfucanine yes sir, obviously more is better but it makes a difference.

[hellojacob]

Love the video! And the E30!!

[theTHANEshow]

dude ur a badass.. That stuff is pretty lightweight right? Just like insulation?

[MrTesco4life]

He looks and sounds like Steve-O from Jackass... I like this guy (y) :)

[NasseerBoss]

does this improve the acoustic or soundproof the room?

[squirreltrench]

@NasseerBoss This helps with the acoustics of the room itself; it will not help with soundproofing.

[noodiTHEboss]

Thanks...Looks Great

[MaxLunauOfficial]

What did he use for Insulation???

[WoombedJeans]

@MaxLunauOfficial roxul

[setareyemetal]

it is good but i dont have money

[freakshowtim]

look nice actually.

[VOIDFACTORY]

What is the size of this ? and the weight ? isn't it too fragil ?

thx for answering :)

[Zunaro]

@VOIDFACTORY I can't imagine it weighing much more than 10-15lb, he used what seemed to be oak, but you could use a lighter material like poplar or pine and add some corner braces (small triangle cut from 2-3" boards) for a nice rigid strength.

[KeatonAlexander]

clean e30 bro

[oaa8195]

What did u use for the insulation?will rockwool help??

[bradhammett1]

Your wrong with the fabric, to must be able to see though it when held up, so that the sound can travel throw it and not bounces on it. The company make panels and they work for better then yours but cost more. One thing your Rockwool 80KG make sure that use this or a higher deserty but not Hardrock. but well done

[samventuraable]

what kind of foam did you buy

[hungdaddy916]

hey dude, where did you buy your foam from?

[rockard94]

i putted that kinda panel all over my ceiling, its already a great improvement. Now ill complete my project by covering my entire walls with this kinda panel.

[VideoMenu]

1:41 - I like how we're supposed to play it off like we don't know where fabric stores are. Gotta ask an old lady. ;)

[jamesal]

i watched this and i couldnt help but think of me and my dad doing projects around the house xD

[2020ghost2020]

so, your my hero, and a genius!

[jokanenc]

nice



[mr4y]

You forgot one thing:

The fabric HAS to be acoustically transparent, otherwise, you'll reduce the rockwool/fiberglass absorption and some frequencies will bounce back into the room. Burlap is a great acoustically transparent fabric that you can use.

[CKS5000]

@mr4y could you name a couple of others, I don't think burlap is the style i want to put on my wall.

[mr4y]

@CKS5000 Keep in mind that the laws of physics don't care if the fabric is not your style. It has to be acoustically transparent. I mentioned burlap because is the ideal one for budget bass traps/broadband absorvers because it's cheap. You could use Guilford of Maine, SoundSuede(not SonoSuede) that are acoustically tranparent as well and are sold in different colors and styles.

[persianprince6699]

whats the measurements! plz put on description cheers! 

[XxJamezTaylorxX]

just to add; that was my mum!!!

[XxJamezTaylorxX]

i think gingers are sexy.

[ricardo0161]

where did you buy the panels?

[MrKellen127]

GINGGEEERRRRRR



[Proaudiostore]

Mate ,what are you doing there is called sound absortion not sound proofing.

[dzokicagvg]

can you tell me the dimensions please thanks

[ct6mblack]

Great video. This is what I plan to do at some point with my room. Not to nit pick too much, but technically that would be considered acoustic treatment vs. actual soundproofing. Soundproofing would be to keep sound from leaving a room. What fiberglass or rockwool insulation accomplishes is the absorption of reflections within a room. Sorry. I get too technical with everything :) Again though, great video. Thanks for posting this.

[RXillusionist]

never knew gingers could be so awesome. thanks hahahaa

[mixtoMO1]

Hey man i would like to know what do you put behind to keep the roxul in place ?

[kitchensink955]

is he albino?

[phxrocks69]

That is a quality sound trap, and nice approach, teach us broke ass musicians. (Broke , not lazy). This won't keep much sound from escaping the room, but it will make the room sound better for recording. We slam a drumkit at 3am with neighbors sleeping 40-50 feet from the kick drum. You need to box the sound in, with acoustics in mind. A room inside a room, with a floating floor is the best. You can build an awesome 8x8x8 drum/iso booth with about $1,000 in high grade materials.Ours is 8x16x8

[HDR4317edits]

The name of the insulation is called Roxul; safe 'n' sound

[HDR4317edits]

fabricland made me lol

[mttfrnkl85]

@HDR4317edits haha me 2

[ashmiel911]

you can use in the vocal booth

[son1caaron]

Diggin the e30

[CCstarworks]

...this is awesome...

[thecobraunit1q2w3e4r]

Where can i find or buy Rockwool???

[xilentpwn]

Really well done, man. 

[jimmylim618]

what actually is the material you put between the wall ?

[skylarsmith3]

@n0tyaP my mom knew

[CjDAudio]

@skylarsmith3 hahahaha nice

[hothengchun]

so all you need just cover the window??

[o0who0o0o]

where did you buy your insulator??

[RapRnB4u]

@ 3:16

Where do you buy those speakers? Because I'm using a laptop, and I don't want to use those tiny speakers that are built inside the laptop.

[desiguy118]

i used Rockwool and to cover the pannels i used the Furniture Sofa cloth(kinda welvet),is it ok?used one sheet of Acoustic Foam,but still i hear a little echo in my room..?

[jrizzopivoto]

He looks like Active child

[henryshee666]

is that finish

[alpunkbrewster]

are u sure this works

[Pyro5139]

@suzukifurb you should namely set up around the area you working at. sort of enclose around your gear, covering your amp, place where your playing. that will keep most the the acoustics inside. as for the rest of your studio, its not essential but it does keep the sound trapped.

[DeadlyMixKrew]

I GOTTA GIVE IT TO YA. YOU MIGHT BE ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTANDS RECORDING.

[slowmofo357]

Nice E30 :D



[Airphel]

what brand was that insulation?

[rplumey7]

Im trying record my first album but i dont know if you help christian singers,let me know,Thanks!!!!



[rplumey7]

Im trying record my first album but i dont know if you help christian singers,let me know,Thanks!!!!

[IxdokuxI]

GINGERS HAVE SOULS!

[irfaniss]

hey! if i may ask, how can i sound proof my whole room?

my neighbours already started to complaint

[moh1612]

@irfaniss Pray that your neighbours turn deaf soon & that'll give you more leverage to do your thing :D

[irfaniss]

@moh1612 yeah, i was hoping that will happen, haha

[KDKlivee]

You should make one on how to make a soundproof booth, that what i thought this was gonna be when i clicked it, Good video though it still helped.

[ErveGalanti]

Great job ill try that,

where to place these acoutstic panels ?

[DJMKN93]

What is it actually doing? Blocking the sound going through that wall???

I want to block sound going through the wall my speakers are up against...how can I do that (cheap)? By putting 2 of those in my wall corners?

[lcity06]

nice vid what kind of foam is that and where did you get it and ho much ?

[bradn7]

It would be really usefull to list the items in the description so others can purchase that or have ideas of dimensions and everything.

[shapeworkstudios1]

very cool!

[clumpft]

So, are these specifically bass traps??

[tuantien1]

What is the brand of insulation that you used?

[DubForDays]

what is the exact insulation you are using?!'

[scotedavis]

@DubForDays I'd say roxul ?

[CjDAudio]

@scotedavis Roxul Rockboard is what cha want to use. I used a different kind in this vid, but i made a few more panels recently and i use R&R and it worked soooo much better for me.

[scotedavis]

@CjDAudio I found 5 sheets of 3in thick in a construction dumpster. I forget the brand but I made 5 panels for real cheap :) this vid helped great with framing and placement , thank you 

[AFazn]

BEAUTIFUL!!!! YOUR A GENIUS

[Beliy2009]

Hay brother what's the background music can i have it please?? !!!!!

[mic4rap]

u r a serious dude..

[tonganbreed]

keep up the good work!

[Sjf611]

You should do a vid on mixing

[VivilEntertainment]

it look very nice =) now I have a imagination for that thx man

[DJStereoTypical]

Sorry to be a stick....but this is not sound proofing, its acoustic treatment, (Absorbtion) to "soundproof" is to block / stop sound leakage....

any problems please look at my company on the web to clear things up

custom audio designs .co .uk

[TheEXXpert]

wow. Good job. thanx for that

[pimpchryz]

put a light behind it

[ShortBrownMC]

really cool video!! What is the name of that house insulation foam or whatever?

[ma0fille]

@ShortBrownMC "safe and sound" is usually the name it goes under, the size I've seen is R-23 or something close to that

[ShortBrownMC]

@ma0fille thanx man for the name and measurements

[RAYGproductions]

Good Job.
