a ceiling cloud trap. Here is a link to the full studio acoustic building series playlist on my channel. Enjoy! Playlist link

instead of all that measurement , you could get a large cardboard , cut it exactly the size of the panel and punch a small hole exactly where the eyebolts in the panel are positioned .... then place the cardboard on the ceiling and tape it to place , moving it and adjusting until you found the perfect place ... then for marking all you need to do once the cardboard piece is taped to the ceiling at exactly the right spot, take a pencil and mark the location of the eyebolts from that little hole you punched :)

[@steveiak9970]

Made a huge difference at the end when you talked under both it was wsy more under control. I like what you did with the trap along the edge of the cieling I'm definitely going to do that with mine now

[@hamooddyy]

keep doing yo thang bro you rock!

[@normanfarrow646]

I love this guy he is so entertaining,

[@DrummaMan75]

AMAZING video!!! I'm mounting 3 panels in my ceiling this weekend. Headed to depot now to get toggle bolts. Thanks for the detail...I'm one of those aliens who DOESN'T know what's up...LOL!!

[@rohanjoseph101]

Awesome video :) One question and I'm sorry if I missed this. How did you get the holes to be in a straight line and correctly parallel/perpendicular to the ceiling and walls? Did you use a chalk line maker or something like that?

[@solomonespina]

most people use rockwool for the bass traps right? but what do you use to trap the mid and high frequencies effectively?

[@OfficeofthePacific]

Great job, man

[@basicblak]

OMG, this was the funniest fuckin shit I’ve ever heard that just so happens to also be educational in the process. Well done my man, thank you for this!👍🏼

[@BizzyMo]

Very nice, got the same at my studio.

[@ThorslundMusic]

How does the chain work with the eyelet on the panel?

[@TheMusicman961]

haha are not even, don't you hate that... also how did you get the angle ones in the corners up?

[@themaizeandblue]

Thanks for the super-informative information Dozer. Really appreciate it you taking the time/energy to help all of us out here in the rest of the world. Quick question for anyone who can answer. For the straddle traps you used mechanical wire, but for the cloud traps you chain. Was there any particular reason for the difference here?

[@Dozerbeatz]

No problem, glad you like the video. Chain, because for the ceiling clouds, they could be seen. Chains would look nice. Mechanical wire can be substituted with chain. I ended up updating the studio. I will be making another video soon. Ended up using front wall panels for ceiling clouds, and building a full front wall behind the desk, that is about 7inches thick, floor to ceiling, from corner trap to corner trap.

[@themaizeandblue]

Ah ok so it's mainly for aesthetics. Good to know. The update sounds massive, looking forward to getting a peak at it.

[@Az1zz]

Perfect

[@Ibantar]

Dude... You're crazy as hell but you know your stuff!!! Some very good info to help me finish my home studio. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. (Tell them aliens to back off... LOL!!)

[@g00thier]

Very helpful video's thanks!

[@juniorliles3035]

Appreciate the video it really helped!

[@martzooo]

I love you man !

[@Dozerbeatz]

Also google "Finished Basement: Studio/Acoustic Advice Welcome" for another gearslutz thread of the studio.

[@Dozerbeatz]

Thickness is one of the many things effecting frequency absorption of both rockwool, and rigid fiberglass like OC703. There are many other factors. Google search for "Bob's Absorption Coefficients" for an example of frequency absorption characteristics. For more info on my room, google "Upgrading Acoustics/Measurements Included". Take a look at my thread with pics and measurements at Gearslutz. Enjoy.

[@melgibbson8955]

Hi, I looked at that table and I wanna ask u what this means? 703, plain 2" (51mm) 16" air 3.0 pcf (48 kg/m3) 0.66 0.95 I mean what is 16" air? 16 inch away from ceiling?

[@GroverLee]

Yeah, helpful and funny. I stole another guy's line: "Explain it to me like I'm a five year old" because there's always that one thing people assume you know that is the key to the puzzle. And that's the one day you skipped class. heheh. The only nerdy thing I would add is that when you drill that hole in your ceiling, you've created a place for the sound to get out, so if you're really trying to "soundproof" as well as bass trap, then be sure to fill that hole back. But hey, good job, Dozer!

[@Dozerbeatz]

Thanks. Not really trying to soundproof, as this is in the basement, and its location does not allow noise from outside to cause a problem, and sound can not be heard by outside public. Mainly concerned with taming acoustic inadequacies.

[@tomvice]

Panels, especially clouds, need to be 9 inches thick of “safe n sound” (40kg/m3) to absorb all the sub. Thin panels are just not worth it If you want your room to sound big you need thick ass clouds. Without them the room will sound boxy

[@beastofboston1]

alien algorithm! f n awesome!

[@DemarkusLewis]

yeah pretty entertaining bruv .. nice job ;)

[@Doyledrumz]

Sic Vid!!!

[@OHMyResistance]

[@drehardin]

8:00 This guy has me dying laughing. Go Dozer Go !

[@canimaStyle]

if your floors are the same dimension you could have just measure off the floor and transferred your measurements to the ceiling with a laser

[@canimaStyle]

thats where the if part of the comment comes into play :)

[@Doyledrumz]

Bowling Balls!!!!

[@stringsnare]

yo dozer uh...im renting..uh...if i did this...uh...can i fill it after, lol haha

[@juniorliles3035]

Real platinum chains dawg lol

[@dozermendoza]

[@mikesmith1115]

fear4me Agreed, a sure sign of inadequacy. Fucking aliens, fuck this fuck that. Shut the fuck up. So redundant.This room is going to be so dead with those punk ass speakers WTF dude?

[@monkeyfriend6991]

Mike Sobczak says the troll that just typed bad words...hypocritical much? "punk ass speakers" ...hmm..so does this mean your inadequate also? Welcome to the interwebs sissy...

[@kadiummusic]

As usual in a lot of American videos, too many F bombs. Shame.

[@smash461986]

Why are you shouting? Is your room that dead that you can't hear yourself? lolz

[@IDCrish]
