DIY Acoustic Panels- How to Make Cheap Acoustic Home Studio Panels

[@SGTDayDay]

I did the same exact thing about 3 years ago. Building your own panels is the best way to do it trust me & it was kinda fun to if you a creative person

[@fantaztikbeatz]

Man i saved hundreds of dollars doing it myself no doubt.

[@Scottie2528]

I built 8 of them myself for my home studio. Came out great and look professional. Cost around $20 per panel rather than about $50 buying online. Saved about $240 rather than buying them online. Would highly recommend doing them yourself. Not hard to do at all. The video I watched gave a little bit more info like the exact measurements to cut the wood, so that it would be 2 by 4 feet exactly and how to prevent the wood from bowing in after assembling it. You did a great job with this video too. Real quick and straight to the point. Also pre drilling a hole before putting the screws in the wood will prevent the wood from splitting when drilling the screws in.

[@JustMamba]

Probably saved more than that.. the shipping is usually as much as the panels themselves.

[@Scottie2528]

@@JustMamba yea that’s true. I didn’t take that into account.

[@Karim-ik5ij]

Panels that thick are going for 200 now

[@IronHorsey3]

I like how you went to the store and picked up exactly what you needed. Thank you!

[@cb4j]

This is the best version of this process I've seen. Real positive vibes and love the hands on in store tips and shopping experience for DIYers.

[@apeirogang5694]

Yo! Wavy .. I'm from Zimbabwe and this video is perfect for producers surviving under the unfriendly economy of our. You an angel sent

[@beaujaymes75]

Just finished mine. In total cost 236.00 wood, staple, fabric nails, rockwool. Wayyy cheaper. Thank you sir. Had to work in the heat but it was worth it. One suggestion. Het high and might drywall picture hangers and i got tone claw picture hanger on yhe top of panels. Each one of my panels were 10lbs a piece. Drywall jangers hold up to 20 and 40 lbs.

[@heymom...4237]

Just shopped online for acoustic panels & the shipping costs were outrageous. This video just saved me around $500 since I need about 4 panels for a couple of home offices. Thank you.

[@Gang-25j]

I just got 4 for $289 plus shipping with more layers and foil on the vey back

[@tinkuvt]

​@@Gang-25jcan you please share the link of the items?

[@NarcoMusikRec]

[@kqsystemzrecordings]

THIS WAS SUPER DOPE. I SPENT $500 ON A LONDON 8. NEVER AGAIN!! THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL.

[@shammusiq3836]

Super helpful video!! I just got a 20foot garage that Im turning into a studio. You just gave me the solution for my sound treatment problem. Greatly appreciated. All praise to the most high YAHH.

[@4brotroydavis]

Havent done this yet but i keep coming back to this video. All these other diy videos have people sawing the wood and using advsnced techniques. Smh. Shoutout to wavy

[@Lyvvie]

Awesome! I will be making these. One thing about the basic rules of upholstery and canvas framing is to pull the fabric tight over the frame and staple in the centre first, and then go out to the corners. I look forward to installing these!

[@beaujaymes75]

I took your advice. It worked out good

[@O.RichardsonMusic]

You just saved and upgraded my studio with this video.... 5⭐️'s Bro

⚡️🌊

[@YungHustleTPM]

I love this bro good lookn

[@OFFICIALBEATSLANGERZ]

Lol that panel got on yo head good video just made 6 today🤣!👌🏾

[@zellomedia]

how about an isolation shield like kaotica eyeball

[@RedEyeAV]

He has a video on this I believe that test the eyeball with and without acoustic panels.

[@Iamraychris]

Ready to build my own studio 2024 goal !

[@christopherrodgers815]

Thank you so much, just made about 6 because of this. Very helpful, he needs alot more credit for these heavily detailed videos. Good looks

[@garfieldwilliams5345]

Hey W. Wayne! This is just what I needed…I appreciate your efforts to keep the community informed! Blessings!

[@BridgetMouton]

This seems to be easy enough for me to do. I like that it can be very inexpensive to make and can also be as decorative as you want with the type of fabric you choose. Thanks for sharing.

[@CURBSIDECHRIS]

THANKS DUDE FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO . THIS HAS BEEN A CONCERN FOR ME FOR A BIT CAUSE BUYING THESE THINGS ARE CRAZY EXPENSIVE AND I LOVE BUILDING MY OWN STUFF SO THIS WILL BE A PROJECT FOR ME THIS UP COMING WEEKEND . CANT WAIT TO CHECK OUT YOUR OTHER VIDEOS . THANKS AGAIN BRO

[@joethane]

Man, this is amazing. I’ll be doing this today. I was lmao when you said “If you a OG like me, and you been through the fire” right there wit you my guy. Hands been through the ringer! Thanks for this well laid out video

[@melodiakmusic8037]

Dope demo and extremely helpful bro 😎

[@2jaycee]

wavy the funniest and best engineer on youtube

[@thesunthatsankmusic]

Super helpful and straight forward thanks man

[@sd8829]

Thank you, this was very helpful! Online soundproofing panels have lots of mixed reviews and are very expensive! The best part is I can do this by myself and save lots of money! Thanks for taking the time to make this video 👏🏼

[@sabinak2669]

Did you created, does it work? How much was total cost?

[@dabigguy83]

Loved the video man!!! The only thing I would have done differently was to staple the frame at the ends first before I put the screws in, would've made it easier to put the screws in without having to hold the boards to align them.

[@EDawg_32]

Cool thanks! I like how you walked us through it

[@GraffHabit]

This is the best video on the topic that I’ve found. All the other ones are people saying dumb shit like “DIY panels for $20 a panel!”… ya, if you already have the wood and tools and just need to cut it and put it together. Most of us have to actually go buy wood, buy insulation, and maybe buy some tools to make the frames. That can bring the cost up to over $50-100 a panel… but still way cheaper than buying them outright. Do you remember what you spent? Probably going to make some next week

[@spareroomtech]

This is great info! I'm working finishing a new office space / recording studio and desperately need to do some sound treatment of the area. Great walkthrough. You earned a subscriber. Thanks!

[@MrProZeca]

Bro I would like to see you doing one for the ceiling

[@Jay2swrld]

Man thanks mane , this was very handy . Saving me couple hundreds here frl

[@bstiggs]

Building these in my moms apartment for when I move into my house 🏡

[@ElembeeOfficial]

LMAO! What the heck? I was enjoying the video and the transition sound at 12:50 really threw me off! 🤣🤣

[@Cj2phy]

What about making an over head cloud?

[@thesimulations8900]

Awesome. Thanks. Doing this in my garage studio and finally getting rid of the old overpriced foam.👍

[@meljohnson5579]

Awesome!!!! Planning on doing the same for my Studio under construction now!😊

[@nessabugs2347]

Fantastic and thoroughly giving steps to achieve acoustic panels. I appreciate the affordability and simplicity thank you!

[@guadadvent]

I am the first to watch from Guadeloupe in France

[@doobmusiq]

I needed this

[@coachcleats13]

Raider Nation, I'm a follow this tutorial and build mine...thanks

[@GeraPinon]

You da goat wavy 🔥🐐

[@mrdigitalmayhem]

What an awesome vibe. Love your content and your approach. Keep going man.

[@joshboatwright6600]

Thanks for this. Saw the price of panels up to 400 dollars and said nope lol headin to home depot today 👍

[@madstax707]

Dope video, gonna make some of these soon. Word of advice, make pilot holes before the screws so the wood doesn't crack

[@YoBiggz-t7o]

That's true but the reason the wood split it because of the sharpness of the beginning of the screw but if you take a hammer and hammer the top of the screw so the beginning is sorta flat then screw in that solves that problem 99.9 % of the time (carpenter's trick) especially if someone doesn't have right tools at the time peace out and stay creative

[@denisedevlin-li2201]

excellent video, very clear description of what you need and good instructions. Thanks Wayne and Home Depot.

[@ChiefofThangz907]

Now this is much better than ordering panels.....🙏🙏

[@AG_TheReal]

This was dope!!! might have to incorporate these in mine, but, its sort of DIY , but, Believe it or not, the cheap 12, 24 panel acoustic foam for the home studio your thoughts? you can get them form amazon...or your local guitar center, or from sweetwater, some really don't know the difference, is there? or where should one place them, from a 12 piece, 24, 36, 48 etc..is there a really an effective spot to place? sort of DIY, or a DIY Eyeball?

[@G7Supreme]

so theoretically can you build a studio booth out of sound panels, could you help me figure the measurements out?

[@10MilliJay]

Yeah You Can Use Door Hinges and Abs Pipes Or DIY Yourself Walls Depends On The Height Of Your Room

[@TheElectricfishmusic]

Great video Wavy.

[@jamesrivera3426]

This is amazing content, man

[@alexfilmwriting]

This is cool. Way cheaper than those wiggly foam panels, foot-for-foot.

[@JustMamba]

Plus they work better. Those little foam panels only get rid of high frequencies. These will cover high, medium and even lows if you make them thick enough. I made about 20 3 inch thick ones awhile back as well as about 6 8 inch ones for bass traps.

[@Blackmaneforever]

Salute my brother!!! You did that. Definitely informative. Ty 💪🏾

[@elijahlove2447]

Awesome tutorial!! And very thorough 😎😎

[@saltersbdavisiv5430]

Made some thanks to this vid!

[@thehomierich]

Bout to head to home depot right now!!!

[@horacestacey3549]

Thanks my brother. So simple. I have to give it a try.

[@HeartBreakHutch]

Do you still have the materials list? Dont see them in the description

[@bazooka8004]

Dope. Just bought a house and I'm building my own home studio right now I needed this 🔥🔥🔥

[@MarcelloDeFrancisci1]

Wayne, Thanks so much for this video. I followed your instructions to the foot of the letter and they came out great. I did however use gloves to handle the mineral wool.

[@chrisrussoroos6091]

Great demo- thank u!

[@4brotroydavis]

And i just love thay wavy obviously didnt book an hour to shop. U can see the head on a swivel as hes doing his job in public. Fire man

[@cccheeks8819]

Hey if I EVER forget, will you PLEASE remind me that if I ever need someone to make me a custom suit.....to make sure I lose your number..............Love your channel man and I am about to do this soon and just got Epson LS12000. No need to make it pretty, just a frame, some material and zip it up! Thanks!

[@EdgardoSosa-hy2zn]

Love the energy, and the usefulness.

[@alainjulot3490]

Thank you my brother! Wayne all day.

[@jouvan2142]

This Guy is Amazing!!!

[@Plarux]

I would use this idea to create a box for recording. Using the same materials to create a frame. Sheets of wood, then sound panels to cover it. Add a door, etc. Thank you! Video was informative and entertaining 🤙

[@UncleDonzo]

Thanks for this video, Wayne. I’m building a few of these but I plan on using command strips for mounting.

[@fridayafternextfamilycook-8155]

*I'm on the right track lol...Blessings to you brother👌*

[@fanshen]

Yesss! Love this. I’m making my office studio now and need some DIY options before this pricing gets out of control. Thank you!

[@markgueren9633]

This is perfect!! Thank you!! Gunna build some !!

🏆Wave Don dope vid as always mayne ... still gotta go to fabric fold boot camp tho! 🏆

[@makethemix]

I did this today after watching this video. I did 8 - 48 1/2" x 16 1/2" panels. I can't move. I'm so tired. But I'm done now. 😭😂😭

[@profmj7630]

That's what's up. Salute Brother

[@2chi2talk]

dope dope going to make a couple for my apartment.. Wonder how good it would be if I used this method and did something bigger like a walk in studio..

[@runnrr]

Any updates about this or? I’m wondering before I get my home studio soundproofed with this video help

[@awildlife4all]

Really enjoy the videos man. I’m going to be building some of these very soon. Thank you! 👍

[@natashanatural]

Yes this is exactly what I mlwanted THANK YOU WAYNE ❤ ,KEEP IT WAVY😅❤

[@LA-mi5up]

Could a make a portable booth with these If I were to make some bigger/taller panels? Ik I could do the PVC frame/blanket style build but I feel like that wouldn’t be good enough to isolate sound

[@realshinydragonite1598]

Definitely could! It could get toasty in there though in the summer 😂

[@gggz420]

mannn it was so good i thought this dude added a lil reverb on the comparison😂 all jokes aside that was amazing! will defs be doing that

[@Chosen4sumtin]

Very helpful... Thanks bro

Hello from NYC Bro ✌🏽😎 Great Video I'm on a mad budget 😭 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎅🏾🎄🥂🍻 God Bless 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@jayflexxincash]

Glad I Seen This Very Helpful Brother Thanks!

[@RPG_Bliss]

How many do you need on one wall? How far apart do you space them? Ty

[@realshinydragonite1598]

It really depends on the size of your space! I'd get the measurements of your space and factor it from there. You can have a decent amount of space between them, (3-4 ft at most) without much issue!

[@realshinydragonite1598]

Haven't built these yet myself, but i know from being in quite a few studios that you don't need the entire wall paneled 👍

[@BetoCalifas916]

Yo thanks wavy 💯💪🏽 this the best one I seen of these lol catch me at the Home Depot laters 😂😅
