BUILD A VOCAL BOOTH FOR 70$? // DIY TIME

DIY TIME! 🔨
.
My home office always sounded horrible for singing... so recently I set up a low-cost DIY vocal booth! I was absolutely surprised how dry vocals sound in there, for a total cost of 70$! 🤯
.
I decided to make a little vid for you about how to set it up yourself. If you've got any questions, ask them in the comments or write me a DM! 😉

This is the easiest and most affordable way I've seen to make a DIY vocal booth. So simple! Thanks 😊!

[@lukeiggy]

Hi, glad it helps you! You're welcome! Let me know if you tried it yourself, and how well it works for you!

[@DonovanFrancisDaniel]

splendid

[@Ghxzt2161]

I actually did this as well with the same blankets (great harbor freight find) and I put them on rope to slide open and close

[@lukeiggy]

awesome! are you happy with the result?

[@weepingmidwinter]

Love the hammer!

[@lukeiggy]

me too!

[@mikaelnine]

Perfect 💯

[@lukeiggy]

thanks so much!

[@VELVETBUNNi]

This go hard, thanks!

[@lukeiggy]

you're welcome!

Boxy vocals , taming high frequencies with a steep curve on low end . Low end is density dependent . You’re better off recording with the echo and removing it with plugins . Boxy vocals will not be fixed right unless you’re in a low NSF room . ( true treated room ) . So save your time .

[@lukeiggy]

how would you remove the reverb in post?

[@espion2KX]

You can't

[@bigol9223]

What does this mean? Using blankets for a booth will make the vocals boxy? What is boxy?

[@lukeiggy]

@@bigol9223 Sounding boxy means that only high frequencies and, to a reasonable degree, mid-high frequencies are being dampened. Low frequencies can not be dampened by blankets, and not even by thin walls. You need thicker, more heavier walls for that.

[@bigol9223]

@@lukeiggy so this type of setup would make the vocals sound bad or am I not understanding

[@olayinkaolabode6159]

Can duvet work?

[@jamesanderson2035]

Setup is cool. What's the music?

[@lukeiggy]

Thank you! Well, that's just some stock music I found in my video editor haha. Couldn't tell you, how the song was called.

[@dimitrisxaidemenos4122]

Is this soundproofing at all? I mean can you sing and not disturbing your neighbours?

[@lukeiggy]

I didn't make any real measurements. It's kind of soundproofing, let's just say maybe 10dB. For vocals though, not for any low-frequency stuff.

[@panterabacon1655]

What type of heavy blanket you used?

[@lukeiggy]

it's your average type of moving blanket. they're a bit on the heavier side than "normal" blankets, but not so much as real acoustic blankets, which are considerably more expensive.

[@olayinkaolabode6159]

What blanket do you use?

[@lukeiggy]

I used rather cheap moving blankets. I think I got 6 of them for 20€. Basically it doesn't matter which ones you use, as long as they are a little bit thicker than your usual thin blanket.

[@brennanwn]

I NEEDED THIS MORE THAN EVER THANK YOU 🙏

[@lukeiggy]

Glad to have helped you! Have fun DIYing 😉

[@vangoghsear218]

Can people hear you outside the booth ?

[@lukeiggy]

Mostly, unfortunately. It's a bit less loud outside the both, which is better than nothing. But the booth is way better at providing a great sound INSIDE than at proventing the sound from going OUTSIDE.

[@krystalbennett4265]

Duh 🙄

[@monotypical_]

If you’re really poor and can’t even do that, just use your closet

[@lukeiggy]

I 100% agree! ;)
