Great job Weezna and thanks for documenting it. I was a full time working touring recording musician before becoming a Tech in Boeing's Noise Engineering Lab. Spent five years recording noise and vibration in their Low Speed Anechoic Wind tunnel, reverberant chambers and on flight tests. To me it looks like you really did your research and I commend you. Congratulations! I only wish something like your videos were around when I was very young trying to glue egg cartons to the walls of my garage as acoustic treatment. Big time misinformation. Thanks again and good luck. I'm a big fan!

Absolutely loved this series! I'll never have to build out a full studio, but I learned a ton.

[@artofstorytelling9406]

Thank you so much ! I'm in the middle of building my first studio and these videos have been a blessing ! Much appreciated

[@ShadowOpus]

Great video series on your journey of building your studio. I've been in my current studio for 20+ yrs and will be building a new studio in the near future. Your video has given me so many great ideas. Thanks for documenting all of this!

[@robertoj.fernandez2189]

Congratulations on your new studio and sharing your experience is valuable for me. Godspeed

[@dvcerdeira1]

Amazing series!! Congratulations

[@jimcasso407]

Nice! Excellent suggestions man. Very helpful, clear and useful.

[@dougb5028]

Great series, but this lessons learnt video is pure gold. Thanks Weezna.

[@davegibson6604]

I loved following your build. I think it's been the most comprehensive series of videos documenting a studio build. I wouldn't be so quick to diss the green glue though. Another layer of 5/8 drywall would reflect a lot of energy back into the studio. Green glue converts the sound energy into heat, which means a reduction in excess sound inside and outside the studio space. I used it, and yes it was expensive, but I am very happy with the results. Keep the vids coming...they really are great. 😃

[@martone6852]

Awesome man love it, bring on the test results! 👍

[@house9850]

fantastic series thank you for the upload and knowledge share

[@OmoiSenpai]

Hello! I've watched every video in the series, and Boy oh boy was there so Much information to grab from it! I'm super thankful that you posted these up on KZbin. I have plans on building a Studio Room ( Shaped for Mastering mainly ), outside of my mama's house where I live :P But once I get myself up and running money wise, then I'll commence the actions! Thanks again for these videos! =]

[@JeserNoob]

Fancy seeing the legend himself here

[@okemstudio5967]

Thank you for doing an awesome video on this serious topic. This really helped me!

[@TrueSoundTV]

Glad it was helpful and thanks for watching!

[@brian_simmons_]

A lot of studio designers recommend not butting up the ends of drywall layers one to another, but rather leave a little gap to put backer rod and caulk. What are your thoughts on that and what made you choose to forego it?

[@GregoryGuay]

Yeah, I thought that was standard practice….

[@justinjones6810]

That low frequency hum you heard coming from the dimmer switch is usually because the switch was not well insulated and probably because they used cheap components in the dimmer switch box

[@TrueSoundTV]

Gotcha, yeah either way the dimmer wasn't necessary

[@testube]

Great tips. I've had trouble with dimmers and LEDs, too. Even the ones that say they are LED compatible have given me trouble, especially if you plan on having more than one dimmer being powered from the same breaker panel. Not only noise, but flickering.

[@mirroremageentertainment4924]

Weezna, you are the Man!! That was soooooo informative brother. I love how in depth you go with such detail as to how you built truesoundstudios. I,m going to shut down soon, only to rebuild Mirroremage ENTERTAINMENT. Thank you for all your wisdom and information. As ALWAYS we at MIRROR EMAGE ENTERTAINMENT wish you NOTHING but Success 😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✌

[@JeremyHorn]

Dude these videos have been so helpful. Thank you!

[@TrueSoundTV]

Glad you like them and thanks for watching!!!

[@kangazkorva5674]

10:55 it’s really useful to make an alert button in your house connected with a studio. (Both direction) And a fire system connection, extra phone line etc...

[@KarlGutowski]

If you have a null, it's not because you took out too much bass, it's because you have inadequate or improperly tuned acoustic treatment for bass. Bass traps that neutralize up to 100% of bass reflections are a studio designer's dream.

[@TheQxY]

Interesting video 👍 Excited about the upcoming series, as it's more like what I would ever be able to make, as I'm just a hobbyist.

[@stephenchow5161]

thanks for this

[@michaeldouglas2634]

Great advice. I guess I will be returning the dimmer switches I got for the can lighting. Did you use can-lighting and if so what did you use to extend them for the additionally layers of drywall? On the Dimmer switch did you check to see if it was compatible with the lights that you are using? Just curios because I had to find the right dimmer that goes to the lights I am using. Don't have anything hooked up yet so couldn't tell you if mine buzz or not.

[@mjsthx1138]

smart lightbulbs. you can dimmer without a dimmer.

[@AlexisGitarre]

About the lighting and dimming. I use wireless controlled bulbs, yes they cost a little more but they do not make any noise at all

[@GregoryGuay]

Really?? So the wireless LED dimming units avoid the hum that typical wired dimmer switches create??

[@fredchrisallen69]

Hey love your videos. Why use wood studs and framing instead of metal studs

[@NickChase]

Yeah first thing I thought when I saw you build this studio is "how the hell will you cool down this room"? Because this kind isolation is made for keeping the room temperature.

[@maciejtolinski2490]

What kind of microphone you use for room measurements?

[@TOLLBOSS]

Hi there I have a question I get headache when making beat on head phones does it make difference when mixing and making beats in a sound proofed studio with quality equipment or the sound will make headache after being exposed to high volume for along time ?

[@PearlLaneTV]

Is 12x14 too small for a control room?

[@digital.olimon]

Dimmer switches are trash! YOU want smart bulbs for dimming rather than a resistor dimmer switch
