Making PRO Grade Acoustic Panels | Clean Look No Staples

[@JohnHeisz]

You can watch this video with narration here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJikh6ulZtCEgtk It also has measurements from the room these panels were used in to show how much of a difference they made. Of course listening it is the real test and I can tell you that the improvement in the room is easy to hear.

[@Mtonazzi]

I'll watch the narrated version now, but I really dig the editing on this one.

[@ericwilliams538]

I am trying to find the video you posted about "speaker stacking"... I believe that's what you called it. I was trying to explain it to a buddy of mine, but showing him your video would be easier. I have taken a huge interest in your "transition" from wood working to speaker design/ home studio design....

[@DIYBuilds]

I can't decide if this video makes me want to build something, fight someone or smoke something. Great video John, clearly much effort went into this.

[@ildefonsogiron4034]

It makes me wanna dance. The music, the action, the sounds of tools and the making have a close and we'll planned syncing. John is so creative.

[@SamuelCersosimo]

Awesome!

[@spudpud-T67]

I realise I need bass traps in my office.

[@davidkho5195]

Super clean way of mounting the cloth!

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

I enjoyed the editing as much or more than the actual project. Good job!

[@BryGy]

John, two things really caught my attention. First, it was an interesting build. Second, and more compelling to me, I really loved the video production and stylistic story telling with this one. Not every video needs a voice over, not every maker video needs detailed build steps. This one really hit it for me!

[@irakopilow9223]

At the risk of coming off as some sort of armchair director, I must say that I really enjoyed your editing style of this production. You said so much without uttering a single word.

[@BenStrano]

As a ex-recording engineer, now woodworker, I only clicked because I just wanted to confirm my suspicions that you were going to make the same old panel everyone else does. Nice job adding the spline detail! A perfect balance between simple and effective. I didn't see that one coming.

[@tzaylor]

Do you have any suggestions as an audio guy

[@BenStrano]

@@tzaylorPretty much what John shows here is what works best. There are ways of spending more money, but not necessarily worth it in my book. In my old studio builds we used Owens Corning 703, but I'm not convinced it works better or worse than Rockwool you get from the homecenter.

[@tzaylor]

@@BenStrano cool, thanks for the good info

[@leumas75]

As an ex Music Professor turned Acoustician, I must agree with @@BenStranohere. You DO need to do some basic diagnostics of the room and see which frequency ranges need to be toned down - OC703 is designed to absorb higher Hz, as OC705 does the same for the lower range. Buy Roxul Rockboard 60 and 80 are, respectively, almost identical absorbers to the 703 & 705 at a much lower price. ATS Acoustics (no affiliation, just a long time buyer) has a site that actually lists a wide variety of panels, what Hz ranges they absorb and how well they do, with prices listed, pros/cons of each material, etc… It’s a great source, even if you are going to buy from your local hardware guy or Lowe’s or whatever. www.atsacoustics.com/page--Selecting-the-Right-Acoustic-Material--ac.html

[@NickHillMakesMusic]

Holy cow the spline technique is genius!! Love this video!

[@shushumna]

Just WOW!!! The music, the edit, the shop aesthetic, the equipment. Did you ever see yourself becoming a filmmaker? Make some documentaries John : ) Great skills!

[@mattschoular8844]

Nice to see a different type of video. Also great to see the brief overview of the workshop at the beginning. Your countless hours of continually upgrading the shop has paid off.

[@Gearwork_]

This goes to show that now a days that if you want to get something cool/useful you gotta build it yourself

[@youkounkoun2]

but if you don't have the right tools, you won't get it right.

[@morgan5941]

@@youkounkoun2 I'm curious as to what you think the right tools are. You can achieve the same results as he did with simpler tools. Saying you can't is just making excuses.

[@troygagnon5914]

John... Video editing is by far surpassing anything I've seen on your channel. Thank you for taking your time and sharing this with the world.

[@MrWFCJR]

Love the VIBE in this video. New tunes, new camera angles, clips of grabbing perfectly organized hand tools and appliances. Exploring some new creative techniques. Thanks John.

[@michaelwcorrieajr2278]

Yesssss! Thanks for the video John! As someone who is also very involved with music, these are the perfect kinds of projects! Super clean look!

[@bloodswarms]

Well, sir, you won the game with this. This should have all the acoustic panel views. The trick shot of no stapling and the clean edge work alone makes this the best video on acoustic panels on youtube.

[@act.13.41]

You really stepped up the video skills on this one. Well done John.

[@BentusiProgenitors]

Dude, this editing just jumped your video quality through the roof. I LOVE it!!! Really looking forward to more

[@negotiableaffections]

The mosy underappreciated thing in the workshop...the space between the tablesaw and the workbench - invaluable when cutting in a tracksaw stylee!

[@Jaspel]

This is one of those builds where you need to watch it more than once. The edit drew my entire attention on first view.

[@kanedNunable]

that way of holding the fabric and making it look like a detail is a great idea.

[@brantlers]

I generally do not enjoy the transition into entertainment that many maker videos are making, but this is a style I can really get behind. Silent woodworking that is instructive, eyecatching, no fluff, and a good soundtrack. Keep it up.

[@withJordanFrank]

SPLINES! GENIUS! Oh man, having built my fair share of these, that is such an eye-opening way to do the fabric. I'm never going back. Loved the editing on this vid too. Thank you!

[@manrichvangreunen7490]

I have been following your content for almost 2 years, John, but this video felt so different and so exciting! It is not the lack of narration, but more so the camera angles, transitions and backing track guiding us on this journey. Thank you an keep up inspiring!

[@ScottBaietti]

John, sometimes I out your videos in my watch later queue and forget to come back. Really glad I remembered this time. I love the editing/ cinematography!

[@hassleoffa]

DUDE! ... you edited the SHIT out of this. It's awesome. I don't have any need for "acoustic panels" but now I want to make them anyway.

[@spudpud-T67]

Just install them outside in you yard and make the world a better (quieter) place.

[@tworailsrails1821]

I played this one twice already: once to watch the build, and again to just listen to the music which just happened to fit my mood. Love it.

[@Dusty-Builds]

Attaching the cloth like window screen. Absolutely Brilliant!

[@FOMI1970]

I don't have any idea about acoustic principals , but i've enjoyed every second of this build , music and photages are awesome.

[@kristianseaney8821]

From now on, when I have to explain "show don't tell" I'm going to reference this video. The panels are a perfect solution to a friend's studio I have been searching for

[@webblab2415]

That idea of cloth fixation is genius and the legs...👍..perfect job..

[@ryanmurphy007]

Now you have managed to combine my 2 favourite things in life. Woodwork and techno……. Thank you.

[@leif913]

Made similar panels a few years back that hang on the wall. Your video showed me how to improve the design, mainly by setting them off more from the wall. Generally love your vids- this one is no exception!

[@jacobmcguffie]

It comes as no surprise to me that you managed to come up with a classier way of installing the material on these. And those bases! Beautiful!

[@redoorn]

Man, that room is Fantastic. i can see myself spending many hours in such a place. one comfortable chair, an ottoman, and a side table to hold my adult beverage and whatnot. another great video. had to rewind and turn up the volume.

[@wittworks]

I loved it. Love that you broke your mold and went with something different. You have a million subs. No need to worry how the video performs. You’re a legend. Keep throwing curveballs. If they don’t like the music, it’s called the mute button….

[@tkdmp5698]

Wow this dude is so skilled both in video editing and wood working Im amazed!!!

[@TheMarcball]

Editing level is insane. Kudos, chief. Thanks for the inspiration and keep on trucking!

[@bdcopper]

As others have commented below, great film editing and production! Certainly one of your best videos in both subject matter and production. thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@Jrodmcn]

Besides being an excellent video your thumbnail is what pulled me in. 6 of the best classic rock/metal albums ever!

[@scottspropertyservices6877]

That spline idea was brilliant! Such a nice tight clean finish to the cloth👌🏼

[@EpicBastler]

For me the best video of you in the last few months. I like the editing and the music. I really like the style of this video. Everything went so smoothly and is nice to look at

[@Pi3.1419]

John!!! That video was awesome 👌 And the way you held that cloth down is genius!!!

[@TheWeekendWoodshop]

I appreciate the creativity behind this video SO much. Well done John!

[@creedsexton296]

Well John I must say after watching your other channel first today I didn't know what to expect..i like this format... not for every build but for the right project it works great...

[@saadutuber4920]

Outstanding Filming & Editing as Usual

[@_rlb]

Brilliant editing John!

[@shamanFR]

I have to say, I love the new format. Could be the genius in giving us all the details for the build without saying a single word. The great video editing. Or maybe the music. I think it’s a mix of all three. One thing is sure, I love the work put into it and love the new format.

[@sampull3541]

That was a very uniquely edited video!

[@cradd00]

Good job John. I like the way you edited this video.

[@HennerZeller]

The splines result in a very clean edge and will do an excellent long term job in keeping the cloth tight. Wonderful idea.

[@markjacobsen605]

I like all your videos but this was just perfect. I agree with other commenters --> music, project, video editing were all perfect. Keep up the great work.

[@sapelesteve]

Nicely done John & must admit that I enjoyed the different video format! Well done! 👍

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks :)

[@jayhitek]

i really really liked the new format of this video John

[@rickfletcher8389]

Excellent video and neat construction technique with the splines 👍👍👍👍👍

[@DIYDuBItYourself]

The detail in the build, the detail in the editing, absolutely beautiful! Goals on all accounts

[@kristonrolf1433]

Knocked it out the park with this one John. Amazing editing, so engaging, really appreciate the hard work that went into that.

[@daifeichu]

WOW! John. That was a really cool video. Great job and those panels look nice.

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks 👍

[@fh5786]

I like it when you try different approaches to your video production. Keeps it interesting for you and your audience I would think.

[@bazouellek7989]

John, I do like most of your videos, but this one is different. Your guess for change was a good one. I really liked this one.

[@wwsvs]

Beautiful video (editing, graphics, music, sndfx) and wonderful skill making the panels. Thank you for posting this!

[@eduardom800]

Damn it John. Your video editing pleeeeeasssss!!!! You're good and you know it. (this style sure fits this new "instant gratification" generation i like it) The pannels look gorgeous.

[@peternewman9713]

Love the electronic music! Great editing and production!

[@MCsCreations]

Brilliant, John! Really well done! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@oper827]

Excellent work and video. That is the only one so far I wanted to watch twice and I did.

[@benjamin.john.harvey]

I really, really enjoyed this. The music, the editing, especially the filming. 11/10

[@OriginalRaveParty]

Seriously impressive editing and creative work.

[@johnwhitley2898]

Wow.. pretty cool 😎!!! Canvas stretching, ingenious!!

[@OpekiskaWood]

Love the music, the project and the editing. Cool stuff.

[@jamiejenn2011]

Nice brother. Great job. For those of us who understand where your coming from. The idea of the oak splines were a great way of thinking out side of the box. 👍

[@wardprocter2371]

Love this departure from the regular build format! I look forward to hearing more about it on your other channels. Hope the new format is kind to you algorithm-wise. I don’t think you get enough credit for your editing skills, this was awesome!

[@craigscabinets2131]

Dude, I’ve been watching you for years and this was one badass video bro. Really cool!!

[@jeffbaker8808]

I do like how the sound panels are standing and looking at the wall. Sonic sentinals. Great vid - both versions!

[@qiri7090]

Excellent idea. Always with that touch of genius.

[@robertborowczyk5722]

extremely good video. It is so good that I have watched it few Times in a row

[@TexianPa]

These came out lovely and you’ve really grown as a videographer and editor. Loved it!

[@MerwinMusic]

Cool stuff. Even the editing on the thumbnail to squish everything into frame.

[@debrhodes7021]

Wow! Really enjoyed the video - the editing was very creative! That panels look great.

[@Dgpaz69]

Beautiful design & craftsmanship! I need two.

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

Cool video format! The design follows everything I have read on panels for studios. Love the spline idea. I give the whole video a 10 out of 10. Gold!

[@rafvdp6391]

Very cool video John, don’t know much about acoustic panels but I do know the video is high-end. Beautiful job. 👌

[@wolfgollnitz899]

I enjoyed that! Glad you decided to publish it.

[@Wordsnwood]

Wow, that as a fun edit! Good job, John!

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks. I thought I'd try something a bit different to judge the response. Came close to not publishing it, actually.

[@okkrom]

Art in the panels and in the edit!

[@EvoGeo]

I saw the scrap bin vid first for some reason. This is an awesome video! Love the experimentation. Woodworking video can all blend together, but not this!

Great video edit and the groove-spline hack is just superb (had never seen that before, thanks!!).

[@bigburlymikesmswoodworking]

Not a project I would tackle, but the video itself was awesome. I loved the music and the editing was great.

[@gablebarber]

Damn clever way to mount the fabric. I can't tell you how many thousands of staples I've dealt with building similar panels!

[@bga.123]

WOW wheres the two thumbs up button! good on you for trying something different, as much i I love listening to you describe what you are doing this was VERY well done. the sound effects from the tools in time with the music was perfect, loved it

[@JamesBiggar]

Excellent video.

[@chorehunter4125]

You’ve done it! This is a very special video in my opinion. Thank you!

[@vicf6509]

Love the way this video was shot and edited. Nice job!

[@QuadDoc]

Freakin awesome John!! I was thinking to myself… “oooh I don’t know about these panels.” Then I saw the end product!! WOW, I need to learn to trust you, you impress me more and more every video. Thank you for taking the time out to record and share this with us!!! 👏🏼👍🏼🙏🏼👊🏼

[@jameswebster9048]

Fantastic video John. Absolutely loved it! Keep it up. 👍🏻

[@jigzo78]

Feels like im watchin a montage for some dystopian thriller. love it.

One word, GREATE ! Greetings from a German Woodworker Channel Torsten

[@Bonzomallard]

Wow. Great content John but that video!!! 👌👌 The camera work and editing were effing brilliant. You sir, are a guru

[@TokyoCraftsman]

That is a very cool video. Respect for all the work shooting and editing it. Next up are the acoustic panels themselves, love the clean design, and the captured spline idea is brilliant. Cheers from Tokyo! Stu

[@davidgerardgeraghty9890]

Sweet job. Love the fabric clamps clever and stylish 👍

[@guysquarred]

very elegant, both the project and the editing !

[@tannersmith8948]

Man the editing on this is fantastic!
