I finally built mine. Sharing my homework in case anyone runs into the same issues I did. The 1.5' lengths (which I read as 1'6") should be 1'5". If you cut the 12 sections to 1.5' (1'6") they won't fit, but you only need to cut one inch off of each of the 12 sections to make it work. I think they intended the 2.5ft (2'6") sections to be 2'5" also. They'll still fit together, but at 2'6" your blankets will hang a couple of inches off the floor. As before, if you've cut them to 2.5ft (2'6") you only need to cut an additional inch off of each section. The blankets have loops, not just grommets, and they'll fit the 1 1/2" diameter PVC pipe like sliding curtains onto a rod. When possible, remove the section of pipe and slide it through the loops, rather than sliding the loops onto the pipe (as they did in the video). I ordered a fourth one so that they'll overlap more and have more of a ruffle; they're a bit taut with just three. I used eight 10ft lengths of 1 1/2" diameter PVC pipe, and I listed my cuts below. I didn't have a whole lot of waste, but I'm sure there's a better combination. I don't remember what other lengths they come in, but with something like five 10ft lengths and four 6ft lengths, you'd have nothing leftover. 1st: Two 3ft sections, two 2ft sections 2nd: Two 3ft sections, two 2ft sections 3rd: Two 3ft sections, two 2ft sections 4th: Two 3ft sections, two 2ft sections 5th: Four 2ft 5in sections 6th: One 3ft section, four 1ft 5in sections 7th: One 3ft section, four 1ft 5in sections 8th: Four 1ft 5in sections. If you're a little confused by the differing names of all of the fittings like I was, don't worry about that. Just go by visual appearance and purpose. Make sure you get 1 1/2" diameter. Some of them look tapered, but that's just to prevent snagging; your 1 1/2" pipes will still fit into them. I couldn't find them all locally and the ones I did find were more expensive anyway, so I ordered them all: You need *four* 4-way tee fittings (the link is for a Pack of 4): www.amazon.com/dp/B00MNIYPFI?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details (one of these) These go vertically on the rear side. You need *eight* 3-way corner elbows (the link is for a Pack of 4): www.amazon.com/dp/B00MNIYPBM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details (two of these) These are the corners, top and bottom. You need *eight* side tee (the link is for a Pack of 4): www.amazon.com/dp/B00MNIYGXO?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details (two of these) Four of these go vertically on the front side; the other four go between the corners at the very top, connected to the cross. You need *one* 4-way cross pipe fitting (the link is for a single unit): www.amazon.com/dp/B018HF6IYQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details (one of these) This goes in the very center of the top. You may go over budget on this project, especially with 2022 prices (and if you get a fourth blanket). I ended up close to $300 but it's still very cost-effective.

Thanks so much for spelling out all these details. I'm thinking of making mine a bit larger than the size in the video. I'll be using the booth with a big mic with a shock mount, mounted on a tripod mic stand. Does it seem like 3 feet by 3 feet is enough room to include a mic on a tripod stand, along with a pop filter? I'm also 6'2" tall and I'm wondering if 3" between me and the top of the booth is enough headroom. Do you have any opinions about that? Thanks again

Finally built one of these for my own! However, i did a few minor tweeks to really give it that more "professional" touch and look. First off, i put some cardboard walls on the inside and lined every wall with acoustic foam squares, and also added a wall mounted fan in one of the corners. For inside lighting i ran an led strip around the top, and cut the surrounding foam to fit. The result is a MASSIVE noise reduction from inside to out, and inside, virtually dead. The sound of a dead clap is quite interesting. All of this and still saved over $200 building it! (I also extended out the side walls to make it a 4'x3' space for more room)

Check this out: I also bought myself a $100 Gazebo / Pergola (200cm x 200cm) and placed it in my basement on a noise absorbing rug. I left the outside "walls" off and placed moving blankets on all five sides. Got myself a 10M led strip for the inside and some bass traps in the corners and foam on the inside off the blankets. Super easy set-up for recording with my D18 and singing at the same time straight into my iPhone using the Roland Go Pro mix. Call me cheap but I just love my little "tent" inside my basement. Nice and cozy. Love your channel man!!

First, I would like to shout a HUGE thank you for sharing this brilliant idea that I needed to see a lifetime ago LOL.......but really God knows exactly what I need and when. This is just what I need. I've gotten my blankets and saw, but that PVC is now 2-3X the price listed in this video!!! I have searched all over online, locally and second-hand, and the prices are all pretty much the same!!!! This is definitely less expensive than the Vocal booth to Go, but is no longer very budget-friendly. I'm ecstatic about building my booth because I have songs that need to be recorded like yesterday so I have no choice but to invest the necessary funds to complete the build, but I thought it would be a kind gesture to update everyone's expectations on what they should be prepared to spend on this alternative DIY booth. I will be sharing my experience when I begin building my also. Wishing everyone all the best.

I think this idea is great. I have a pretty isolated room already, but need slightly better absorption for some of my recordings. I think this is a great solution. And for those KZbinrs out there that want it to be a little more aesthetically, pleasing, you could always double down on the blankets, and have a second set on the INSIDE of the pipes too, so you don't have to see them. 💪

Thanks for the tutorial! I went ahead and made this too. I'm currently waiting on the blankets to arrive. I will note, that if anyone else is planing to make their own vocal booth, don't forget to take the thickness of the PVC fittings into account. If you follow the measurements in the video, you will end up with something that is taller than 6.5 ft.

@I A M D Y N A S T I I built it, but if I could go back, I would actually just build sound panels and cover my walls with them. But if you're set on building this booth: I recommend double layering it, to make sure there are no reflections coming off the walls into the mic. Also! DO NOT buy the blankets from the link in the description. They arrive damaged and smell terrible. I instead got all the blankets and grommet kit I needed from a Harbor Freight store. You can find them at a hardware store. I got 9 blankets total, two per side, and one for the top. In the end it was about $250. You should buy a PVC cutter tool. Makes it easier.

@@blazingfire90034 What? I know it's not for sound proofing that's not what I said. If you're doing voice work the deader the better. If you're speaking inside the booth you don't want the mic to pick up room reflections. If a talent agent or whoever listens to your audition or demo and hears the "room", that's a strike. Don't you think reverb is something used artificially? Adding a reverb effect to guitar or vocals? "The booth is for reverb"?? Makes no sense. What you want to do for recording the voices is called "absorption". Homemade bass traps are the best way. If you make this booth and can still hear the room it's useless.

Designed and built one of these, trying two types of moving blankets. I didn't notice a huge difference in recording with or without it. Been using a master closet, filled with clothes instead... Just like engineers did in the past.... Closets, bathrooms, kitchens :) Works really well, but it means moving equipment to the closet but, found a moveable rack cabinet, which a laptop can sit on. Planning to modify & build it. Will probably sell the vox booth. If u build one, make sure you don't make it 8 ft tall if u have an 8 ft ceiling. Have enough room for a person, wearing headphones (adding height) and a mic stand and possibly a stand for lyrics on paper, a phone or tablet. If u don't have a ton of room, think outside the box (pun intended), like making it triangular so it's placed in a corner.

I built one like this myself, draped two layers of moving planets over it. It got really hot in there when singing and when I sang louder still a lot of low end reverb and echo bled through. I ended up buying an Isovox2 and it’s vastly superior to any home made vocal booth. It’s expensive but so is completely acoustically treating your room. Pound for pound the IsoVox2 is the best option out there. I wish it wasn’t so damn expensive though

I need to get me some of those blankets. I’ve had two last minute requests for recording audio at someone’s business and both times I was wishing I had the right gear on hand to do the job correctly.

Great video! I know the purpose is not sound isolation, but will it reduce the volume enough to be used for vocal recording in apartments without disturbing the neighbours too much? I mean; how much will it reduce the noise for people outside the booth?

in 11/2024 this frame using furniture grade PVC in white in the upper midwest cost roughly $460. Black is $490. You can mix it up to save $ and use plumbing PVC straight pipe and plumbing flat cross section and furniture grade three-way elbows and four-way corners to bring that down to about $190. this is for a 5'w x 3.5'd x 6 5"h frame

Little addition if you add some PVC Water Pipe Clamps Clips the ones that allow PVC pipes to be clip to the wall, you can screw or glue them into insolated foam which can be cut to the size of the squares spaces of the booth you then clip the foam onto the pipes this will fix sound isolation issue and easy to dismantle. You can add the foam all around but please note you will need ventlation some type of fan I use a slient usb fans I made using 4 200m fans which are silent I did this because they were at hand and was easy enough to add a usb and controller to them 2 for intake for good air and the other 2 for outtake the bad air.

Did you have trouble with the “ceiling” / top bars? Every time I try to put them on the rest of the booth falls apart. And they don’t seem to be long enough at 1.5 ft. Any tips?

I built mine the same way you did.. But I just purchased heavy duty moving blankets (the 96lb ones) and I bought a grommet kit and used a mallet to pound in the grommets.. Then since nobody is going to see it, I just used large zip ties and then rolled the top over for a clean look. One thing I am criticizing is your cost estimate.. If you order the pre made ones online like he did your going to spend more than $179 on just the blankets alone. If you do it how I did it you'll spend around 96 dollars total for absolutely everything.

You could also mount blankets to a corner of the wall( 2 sides settled) and just construct an L shaped wall to close up. Obviously this isn't portable, but takes up less room as the L shaped " wall" can be turned around to lie flat against wall
