DIY $50 Cheap Recording Studio - How to Make a Studio in Your Room

Today I made a super budget DIY Recording Studio for a little over $50! I have been getting into producing my own music lately just for fun, and I needed a better sound recording set up, so I went out to the hardware store and grabbed some stuff to make it happen! I got the idea from another KZbin video and kind of played with it and made it my own, but feel free to tell me where I could use some improvements!

Thank you for watching and see you next time!

I've been a home recording musician for quite a number of years now, did the whole band thing, played gigs and whatnot...I just found more satisfaction in home recording. I play rock/metal...guitar, bass, drums, keyboards...pretty much everything. My whole family are musicians, and my Grandpa (RIP) taught me everything I know. The home recording stuff I picked up and learned on my own by trial and error...and KZbin of course. I can tell you right now, you are on the right track bro. You will still need a pretty good list of gear, but you're on the right track to getting there. I have a whole room full of recording gear...and I STILL find myself buying things that I can use in the studio. It's an "always buying stuff" hobby...lol. Just get ready...and hope the wife understands. Luckily mine does. So far so good on your purchases.

[@MorrisetteMedia]

+Gun Slinger thank you for checking it out! I'm sure I will be buying a lot more for it over time lol

[@tonguefungus4911]

The cool thing about your mic is that it picks sound in different patterns and there is a switch to change the patterns. For what looks like vocal recording of you . You want the pattern that looks like a head of a mushroom. Also I would suggest if you have a closet record with your back facing the back wall of the closet. If a closet is not available use a wall

I like this creativity. I'm going to do this myself, this is a good ass idea!

[@kangaroo7377]

"I bought 72 square feet of this foam" "6 12x12 squares" This is why college matters

[@MorrisetteMedia]

HAHA oh god i didnt even catch that. I thought 72 sq ft sounded a bit ridiculous but i didn't really think about it after i said it

[@MorrisetteMedia]

and that's more like 10th grade geometry anyway

[@johnhelmes8261]

If you can't count to six by the time you're in geometry, you're gonna have a hard life!!! "How many 1 foot squares do you have, Timmy"? "6"!! "Good job Timmy, you have the same amount of square feet as your age".

[@ChiTownNekst773]

They won't teach you that in college lol maybe like 9th, 10th grade at college they think you know that shit already

[@johnhelmes8261]

omg does no one realize 12" is a foot. The're 1 foot squares and he has 6 so 6 square ft

[@germanmiladelaroca9654]

put the booth facing to one the corners. this way it will catch the sound of the back and you won't have to build the back wall. try this and let me know.

[@david3wrightson684]

you should look up where to put foam for reflections before you stick it behind ya theres like weird rules to follow so it works well

[@MorrisetteMedia]

Yeah i need to look into that too. The space where I have it I dont have a lot of room for anything behind me but once I get a bigger space I will be sure to check that stuff out. Thanks for watching!

No problem dude thank you for this video i made one just like yours right after this and its been my cleanest vocals yet. keep it up.

pop filter. cheap upgrade that makes a huge difference. Foam ones on amazon for the yeti like $5. Mesh ones are better but $30-50

Omg you have the Mic I've been dreaming about since birth 😍

[@BklynBlinks]

i put my mic in the corner of the room and and used velcro in both corners of the wall to place foam and it works wonders

[@gorillabraudcast474]

I've done lots and lots of recording and from my experience as far as vocals go, just hang a thick thermal blanket in the corner! Its sounds the same as having a foam foam. Vocal sound is really all about the pre amp. As far as I have seen. Cool idea tho

[@amari5502]

Bro I have no idea why but this is the funniest guy ever lol nice video though 👌🏽👌🏽

[@d17vwv84]

You the GOAT for this thanks bro I got songs with dope hooks that I make on my phone because I just started rapping

[@MorrisetteMedia]

Nice man! Yeah you definitely want at least a semi pro setup to get those crispy vocals

[@jaffac4ke]

This dude chill af, gl on the business my guy

[@livinonsound8418]

This works, but i think its better to treat the room u are in and leave the mic open so u dont get the box like sound

[@indiebizz7848]

Very good video. Make sure to cover the whole bin with sound proofing. Place foam on corner of wall where they meet. place your back against the foam and the mic/bin in front of you. The sound reflection will be activated. I would use on sides also. In Mix anything 40hz or lower should be filtered. If you guys would like to learn about the music bizz check us out. Updated 2018 info.

[@voborny]

Whoa, this setup is rad! I'm building a pro solar-powered studio in the back of a box truck..... it's coming together, but space is a bit of an issue. Hopefully I can make mine as awesome as yours! Thanks for the video 🤘

[@troyringeisen3912]

Not sure how well it would work but why not put some more foam on the inside of the cover. Cut a hole into the cover and put the cover on the box and then just sing into the sound hole?

[@russellwoo5037]

Put foam completely through it and on the outside so it traps the sound in better

best studio headphones I ever used were Meizu HD-50's.

[@ItsJonnoo]

Dope idea, thank you!

[@thebrutalizer7841]

You know it wold be cheaper and sound better just to learn how to EQ properly instead of masking frequencies and causing early reflections and unwanted coloration with this nonsense that has gone through ZERO acoustical testing.

[@MorrisetteMedia]

+The Brutalizer probably would but as I said in the video this was just a little weekend project for fun and I am in no way a professional, but thank you for your comment

[@thebrutalizer7841]

I can appreciate that, I just feel bad when people waste money on something like this and post it where thousands of people will see and repeat the same mistakes. You're definitely not the worst perpetrator of this though. I recently saw a video that had over 500,000 views and almost no likes despite the fact that the guy glued random non-acoustic foam into a plastic tub (btw these have random resonant frequencies so be careful). I'm glad you thought about the wall behind you though because the truth is that the mic is most sensitive on the side that you are on and least sensitive from the back (if it has a cardioid pick up pattern) so treating the space behind you for reflections makes wayyyyyyyyyy more sense than only putting a foam box around the least sensitive parts of the pickup pattern.

[@thebrutalizer7841]

Side note - I went to college for audio so I do understand that not everyone has the education about it that I do. Sorry if I seemed harsh. I just get so sad seeing bad info get passed around. Now that I think about it though, from a professional standpoint it's probably better that everyday people do stuff like this so there's a reason to actually pay for real studio time when it's time to step it up.

[@MorrisetteMedia]

The Brutalizer haha no hard feelings man, I appreciate your passion for the subject. Not too often people care enough to call stuff out. Yeah I did absolutely no research on this lol I just saw another video of it and wanted to see how easy it was to recreate and decided to document it. I'd like to focus more on audio production and learn more about it as I go so I'm sure there will be more (better) attempts at something like this in the future lol. But yeah I definitely want to learn how to master and EQ tracks too

How do u like make a full song with that studio ?

[@BuddyG]

Anyone using a USB Mic recording vocals, thinking that its high enough quality is wrong. You need an XLR Mic with an interface for best quality vocals. USB Mics are trash for making music.

[@PlayboyGroc]

Where did you get your mic stand and what kind is it ?

[@MorrisetteMedia]

it's just the cheapest one I could find at Guitar Center lol. anything from even Walmart would work to do something similar

[@PlayboyGroc]

so the blue yeti would fit on it ? without a shock mount ?
