I was talking with an engineer from Michigan that told me about a studio that now being demolished. It was built in the 80's and had walls with 6 layers of drywall everywhere! Wow that's mass for ya!

I had a similar small studio built on my house. Unfortunately I lost it in a divorce.

The "open space between the walls" he speaks about is a good idea (for soundproofing AND improving room treatments). When it comes to windows in the room, know that they will be reflective. You must plan proper treatments to compensate.

But all my windows have curtains, for example--heavy enough to affect not only light but also warmth and sound. This is the kind of variability that makes it hard to figure out what to do with your own room.
@doublet1472 жыл бұрын
@@autobotsNdecepticons The curtains can work as a weak absorber which is good (not ideal but better than the window). 3D diffusers on the ceiling behind you would help also.

Definitely very helpful! I just bought a bunch of Room Treatment material and put it up. I tend to be a perfectionist when it comes to certain things so hearing you say “it’s not going to be perfect eased my mind tremendously, my room sounds a lot better and for now, I’m satisfied with it 😁 thanks for your expertise!

@One is Ten Thousand if He Be the Best just hang some little metal hooks from the ceiling studs, get big moving blankets from harbor freight, and cut little holes in the blankets to hang them. It doesn't look the greatest but it works really well actually. I have blankets over the windows too lol

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!!

This is the first time I have vehemently disagreed with something Chris sad. Normally he is a fantastic resource. But those mini vocal booths? If you're a beginner, or in a bedroom studio, you DO want one. I wonder what led Chris to diss them-has he ever been in a vocal booth? Reason: when you're recording vocals, and you're in humble circumstances (bedroom, back office, whatever), you want recorded vocals to be as dead as possible. By 'dead' I mean lacking any sound of the room it was recorded in. Why is this? Because then you can use plugins to add reverb, delay, early reflections, and make the vocal sound any way you want. If you record the sound of the room you're in, you are STUCK with that sound forever. So definitely find a way to record without picking up the sound of the room. Sure, if you're lucky enough to have a dedicated space, and have spent a bunch of effort 'tuning' the room, you may want that as part of the recording. But most of us are not that lucky. Record your vocals in a 'dead' environment-whether that's in some closet full of clothes, or a padded room, or yes, a mini vocal booth.

I know that some people (even Graham) has been able to get decent results with them... but every time I've tried one, I hear the phasing that happens, and still hear the room around it coming back in the form of reflections. I have much better luck (and don't have to spend the money on one) if I just put a bunch of clothes or blankets and egg cartons around me in the closet or bedroom. !! But there is a reason they are made and they can be worth a try!

The box behind him (a diffuser) doesn't "make the sound go everywhere". It reduces echos & reflections.
@chrisliepe2 жыл бұрын
It diffuses the sound. When the sound hits it doesn’t reflect directly back… it goes multiple ways off of the multiple surfaces. Diffuses the reflections so it’s not a slap or an echo by creating multiple types of reflection.
@adilmuzic2 жыл бұрын
Covering all the walls with foam. Does that work well or just destroys the sound? For mixing and recording. Room size would be 17x15x10.5
@doublet1472 жыл бұрын
Covering all the walls with foam "could" make sound seem dead. Proper acoustics in a room require proper placement of 2D diffusers, 3D diffusers & absorbers (including bass absorbers "bass traps").

There are lots of better materials, but sometimes we need to work with what we have and can afford. My plan is eventually to build my own treatment, but I needed to get to work as soon as possible in the new space, so I went ahead and hung the foam I had.

I'm sorry to have to say but this is absolute truth. But some of you people do a very good job of confusing people about these issues... on the one hand we viewed videos that say the things that you're saying all wrong and then you come along and say it's perfectly okay and vice versa. I hope you can understand my point... there are some so-called professionals who swear by the things that you're saying wrong! And man is just totally confusing

As much as Chris Liepe has some good advice when it comes to home recording, I do not come to this channel to see his videos. I come to see Graham, who is a natural when it comes to speaking before a camera, and was always at the front of this channel prior to 2021. Graham, your videos have revolutionized my music. Please come back! And don’t give up on this channel that, many years ago, saved you when your were on food stamps!
