Build a DIY Recording Booth for your Home Studio

[@inwithdasmithsiwds6103]

I would love to do this DIY for my husband as a Christmas present, I had the same concept in my head, but seeing you build it made the thinking process easier. Thank you

[@gabrielchumelcamarena5593]

Your husband must be very lucky

[@heatherbryson406]

I LOVE IT! This is the best video so far that I've seen on building a sound booth. Genius..

[@dmvscorpio6834]

This video is still golden til this day !

[@sveta237]

I admire people like you so much!good luck to you xx

[@LuckyMcSwim]

Does this booth also stop the voice from going outside? My problem isn't recording quality but neighbours... I wonder if this could be a solution

[@cristojoven2677]

How much did this cost?

[@flikflak24]

I would recommend Haveing a double wall between the walls to them ( with some rubber pads at where the sealing and floors though the wall and put some ultratouch insulation r30 in between)

[@christiansnipes6621]

how much did it cost for the supplies? not including tools/recording equipment, just the foam, wood panels, and adhesive?

[@strangekittyca]

Using velcro strips might be handy, instead of double-sided tape. This way you could change out the insulation later if you need to, or re-adjust.

[@DerrickHair]

How much did all the supplies cost you? What size were the measurements of the booth. THank you, great video!

[@TheVealChop]

Nice! That's badass! Small, but you can do varying versions of length and width for, say, a trumpet player. I did a similar thing to a walk-in closet with rugs.

[@axel76]

Great video, good job. I noticed you covered the entire booth with pads, I thought it was important to leave a small reflection area like a small window or untreated spot to avoid drowning the sound. Do you think you need that?

[@tf642]

nice. this gives me a blueprint to build my own. thanks for sharing this! appreciate it.

[@flikflak24]

Would strongly recommend to build a bigger box around that bog with about 9" of distance to all sides for way better isolation of sounds from the outside getting in and other way around ( door included in that recommendation)

[@TSIRHCSEVAS]

hi, great video, if i build a 2 m x 1.60 m vocal booth can i use it as a mixing room also?

[@luoyisishimisi470]

Thanks for the video. I just wish a had all the space you have to do this.

[@Legitposting]

Well, how would you suggest ventilating? I don't necessarily think it matters since he's not going to stay in there. Only to record.

[@BigTexTV1000]

What if you don't have A door? would the sound still be alot better than recording in an open area? Because I have like A little closet its in A U shape I have bed foam all around it I got it from wal mart.

[@tmmtmm1320]

Yes, that does look fantastic. Where I am, the summers are extremely hot. Is it the same where you are, if so, how did you account for that?

[@ErikNnielsen]

I live nearby a street and trying to find a solution to be able to record good quality vocals at home. Do you think that your kind of vocal booth will be enough to stop sound to get in?

[@MsSwaggUp]

This video was awesome more musicians need to see this! I was wondering how is it breathing in there?And if its hard, would it be smart to drill some holes through the wood?

[@madi8249]

I'm building one of theses but money is a issue how much did this cost roughly if you don't mind saying

[@NPrescott]

With that wide angle lens recording, it looked like it was about to fall apart at any moment wish the bent walls haha Awesome job though on the build. I really like how you stapled the foam to the walls. Made it look like fancy upholstery :)

[@CelsoMachadoJr]

i looks functional. I just wonder if the performance of the singer after sometime gets bad due to no ventilation. Still sounds as a good home studio solution also for guitar recording.

[@madebyharlem9690]

out of all methods I have watched this is the easiest and quickest way to build a legit both.....Thank you for this video, The music was terrible tho lol.

[@GokhanTaskn35]

MAN you made it!

[@IliasMichailakis]

If I create something similar to this with mdf wood and a little thicker insulation pads, will I reduce the noise of vocals that goes outside?

[@JeffRiggz]

I really like your idea. I am going to build something very similar but I want to use 2x2 beams around the inner edges for extra support. Perhaps I will film it and throw a video up. :D

[@TwistedSoulTV]

finally an actual booth not a box thanks

[@JeffreyMiddelveld]

dude, you're freakin' awesome

[@YNTRecords]

How much did it cost you for all the equipment to set up the booth

[@princeicio]

That's exactly how I thought I'd build my vocal booth. Thanks! What kind of wood is that?

[@princeicio]

Update since this video has come up . I built my own studio and it cost me 400 dollar for the plywood and everything. I started voice over and failed miserably

[@taipharaoh7005]

very nicely done ! great video!

[@kylehendrickson8527]

Would 1inch thick plywood work alright for such a project?

[@randydilley9109]

Do you have links to where I could buy the equipment needed? I remember seeing it last time on the video?

[@NicoleBolton87]

How do you attach the desk to the wall so it doesn't fall?

[@TheFrossmanp]

How much did everything cost only the booth

[@mrkarma4908]

Great video. how did u put the table inside?

[@Countdown33k]

Hey nice work mate!How much Money you spent only for the booth?I need one exactly like this!!!Awesome!!

[@kanaK2Nakal]

Great! I shall begin my build! Cheers frm San Fran!

[@BigPharmaBeatmaker]

very very good and inspiring, all the best to you.

[@dissolvemusicofficial7652]

Freakin incredible!! thank you I am going to do just this :)

[@rodolphe971]

i love your recording booth man , could you give me the exact reference materials, where did you buy and the overall price without mic thanks

[@MrLeemacdougall]

Hey man, love how you have put this together, very creative. But can you tell me, how loud are the vocals outside of the booth? I am looking to put one of these together and also plan to practice singing in it, mainly so not to piss off my neighbours. Would this work for helping to soundproof so I can sing inside my apartment? How much does it reduce sound on the outside?

[@soyunapersonanormal]

I'm guessing your neighbours wouldn't really hear it since the inside panels absorb most of the sound

[@ChaceBonanno]

Definitely doing this one day

[@TheFlowerPowerHour]

How much did this cost to make?

[@atnightrecordz]

How thick are the fiberboard? Where is the hole for the kable of the lamp (in the same hole as for the supply input)? lg

[@jaeesmichelle]

Do you have issues with it becoming too hot while in there?

[@IliasMichailakis]

Hello my friend. Great job you did there. I want to create something similar for my recordings, but do I have to add rockwool inside (before i add the eggrates) so that my neighbors won't hear me or it will work the way you made it (without the rockwool)?

[@IliasMichailakis]

***** Ok thanks a lot!! What percentage (more or less) do you have with this construction of yours, just to know if I could do the same!!

[@IliasMichailakis]

***** I know! Do they still hear you outside or you have reduced the noise?

[@IliasMichailakis]

***** That's the answer I was looking for. Thanks. ;)

[@Fitzgeraldkinsey]

Where did u find the fiber boards?

[@bikashsubba5546]

does it reduces the background noises like car horns etc

[@dakotaisrollo4540]

Where can I buy some of the fiber wood ????

[@MCRocknDaNight]

that dam techno beat gave me q dam headache lol but cool video doe

[@MCRocknDaNight]

lol

[@TrendSetterzPB]

Where did you get the fibreboards

[@brandonhowarth2402]

are these vocal booths are easy in weight Kg} height and depth the size and easy dissemble reassemble and put up easy pick up and portable, and mobile. like mobile whiteboard for your pockets as well. space saver and time saver..

[@D40Oz1]

awesome video, i love making booths. but to me you didint do as much treatment on each wall.... very box muddy and to help with that is to buy rough bed sheets like the ones you see on hospital bed, put them over top of the foam you used and they absorb that nasty frequency around 300-600 just think about it, a soft fluffy material will absorb high frequencys and then a rough material will absorb the low freqs so put them together in ways you can , this is an old video but try it out if you havent!

[@JasmineIVANNAEspy]

Man I am going to do this, awesome

[@mrlawilliamsukwarmachine4904]

did you do it?

[@slummadekell7626]

@@mrlawilliamsukwarmachine4904 nah but i did

[@youngvet4453]

What kind of wood is it?

[@tudythebest1846]

what kind of wood

[@programedmind]

for an American is that 6 feet high and 3 feet wide?

[@MusicandSwagg]

Hi, What are the dimensions of the boards Please ? Thank you

[@paulthevoice1574]

What do you do for ventilation?

[@StreetWorkoutZurich]

Thank you for this awesome video, you're a fuckin' genious! You did really inspire me to build my own Recording Booth! I mean...hell...why not? Now, there are low, medium and high-density fiberboards. Which one would you recommend?

[@thugproductionz476]

thanks for the video ill make something like this very soon :)

[@Legitposting]

Also, what type of audio foam are you using?

[@thebigreezshow]

awesome video

[@alexanderbarr8944]

I’m watching this from America and we say drill over here so I thought screw machine sounded mad cool

[@kanaK2Nakal]

How thick are the boards? - Thanks

[@InfluenceThaPoetDOPE]

0:57 “Drake. Where’s the door?”

[@dranon147]

where can I buy fiberboard panels like that?

[@sergioramos8001]

How big are the insulation pads?

[@tadeuszmusic]

Where did the extra piece of wood come from? For the shelf

[@sowwyumed6257]

From a tree.

[@prettybutterfly1900]

what make and model is the microphone?

[@mache3984]

Dang, I need to hurry up and make something like this.

[@xTheRiddler45x]

Idk, thats why im trying to find a solution... and im pretty sure being in there for even 20 mins would effect you with no ventilation and unless your 1 take Jay z plan on being in there for longer than that...

[@UniqueTouch]

Great job! I have a few questions Sir. 1. I live in an apartment and need a booth I can erect when i need it-And-take down when not recording vocals what do you suggest Sir. 2. Where did u buy that padding? HomeDepot, Lowes? Where can i buy it sir? Sincerely, UniqueTouch! 1.21.14

[@UniqueTouch]

Thank you Alia S. For the link and ur reply !!. I saw the vid if the mobile booth and im impressed!. Thank you!

[@madeyes2182]

I love it bro

[@jahdaymusic]

I need to make this :)

[@socproductionsofficialtv1]

all of your stuff is very nice except of you didnt make a window to connect with enginner i didnt see some machine for air.also if you coul have better-bigger light it will be great.nice styff though!!!!

[@NikiMcNally]

Wow thanks!

[@davidwashington4282]

Je rêve! Je suis en train de mater la vidéo et tout d'un coup je te vois parler au milieu et je me dis MAIS C'EST ALIA!! hahaha

[@patsony]

waaaahooooooo so good in final

[@Raye6VEVO]

how much did this cost you?

[@IrateMusik]

Is it roomy?

[@Legitposting]

Yeah, I'm curious about this too. Please post a reply!

[@msmichelleelizabeth]

total cost?

[@morbjrn5265]

Michelle Elizabeth About 300-400 USD. Excluding microphone, the stand, headphones, and lamp. Acoustic Insulation is very expensive. So is fiberboard depending on your location. Cheap alternatives are oriented strandboard instead of fiber board and denim Insulation/ Carpet padding instead of acoustic Insulation. All in all for my slip around the edges version of this project, it's going to be 152.64 USD including tax!

[@nathalyrihma2788]

where did u find the wood boards?

[@drastikpup]

MDF medium density fiberboard. Sold at Home Depot, Lowes Menards, Large Lumber Outlets. www.dawbox.com

[@silasjrgns]

cool video:)!!

[@devil0448]

I really like this idea, only issue I have is the boards are warped and that would drive me fucking nuts.

[@timbalero1982]

It's a wide angle lens.

[@MaxTheSpycar]

***** Watching with a wide angle lens kinda makes me crazy lol

[@amorislokerse]

Building frames with rockwool is way much better.

[@StuartMartz]

What are those insulation pads?

[@StuartMartz]

Thats just a photo. Brand or something? I'm in the States, and want to see if I can locate those.

[@DutchPrankGames]

Stuart Martz just look on ebay: acoustic isolation pads

[@morbjrn5265]

Stuart Martz a cheap alternative is Carpet Padding or Denim Insulation you can get at your closest home improvement store!

[@codking82]

nice! but you are gonna be sweating in there with no ventilation or air flow and you have a light and computer in there omg must be like 90 in there

[@Lee-ti8hq]

aaah ça tue Alia !!!

[@imdiyu4u]

Doesn't it suffocate you?

[@curtchauvin5303]

+DIBYENDU MRUGARAJ as long as you do not fart in there.

[@imdiyu4u]

curt chauvin I guess you exhale Oxygen as well

[@imdiyu4u]

+Alia Schaefer I appreciate your real life lessons. Thanks

[@ami7mina]

Wish you would just come to my room and make me one. lol

[@tobywigley5220]

My works too. Used woodprix handbooks and build it with no problems.

[@ANRO_ANRO]

i couldnt do that..its creepy being there alone lol...

[@pierreleufrayjr]

I'm surprised I don't see anyone asking for a sample on how it sounds. No offense to the uploader, but I don't know what this room may sound like.

[@pierreleufrayjr]

Ok I'll look

[@velocitycinematics]

Smart :D

[@NoStringsAttached88]

legit

[@RayoBeatz]

its gotta be hot af in there and i know it dosn't stop your voice from the outside.

[@pablopiccaso7891]

Don’t do this at home! No doubt the acoustics are terrible and the whole process was a waste of time. He’d be better off treating the whole room for a better sound and practical recording application
