I was making videos for this channel out of a tiny rehearsal spot for bands. It was small, but beyond that I didn't have much to complain about. That was until my landlord raised the rent and put a very loud (terrible) band right next to me... so time to go! There wasn't much else in my area, so I decided to build a studio for myself. This video is a documentary of that process. Thanks for watching!

RU-vid algorithm brought me here. While I know nothing about acoustics I found this fascinating. I may build some of these sound dampening panels for my home office, cutting down on the noise would be super helpful.

@cuomomusiccreation 8 месяцев назад

Totally! I use my studio as an office as well, and having the panels makes for a peaceful environment to get work done... can't lose in my opinion 👍 Thank you for the comment and insight on how the algorithm is working.

Excellent presentation and good advice.I too have built several project/semi-pro studios in my homes through the years. I built a very similar drum riser and applied 1” thick rubber padding (old car tire strips) to the bottom of the 2x4’s. I like to think that helped. Lol. Great job and thanks for sharing.👍

@cuomomusiccreation 3 месяца назад

I buried 12 gauge electrical cable (southwire can be had cheaply on amazon). The duct system that I made works fine as far as airflow. I don't have a problem with insects, spiders, etc... and it stays warm in winter and cool in summer with proper AC / OIl heater that I got for $50.

What size shed did you start with? I just purchased a 24’x12 shed to create my band practice space as well as a recording studio.

@cuomomusiccreation 10 месяцев назад

Wow that's awesome! Mine is "just" 16''x12'. I made sure to have a high ceiling though. I think it's over 14'.

@pancho2491 2 месяца назад

What’s the material you used to cover the ceiling? & doing that sounds better while recording then sheet rocking the whole ceiling?

@cuomomusiccreation 2 месяца назад

I just used fabric over the faced insulation. Then I have the duct system above that so that it doesn't get gross over time. It pretty much kills a lot of reflections acoustics wise, but sheet rock would have been the better choice if I cared about making it look like a real house. I cared most about height though. If you go with sheetrock, then as long as you treat above your listening position with an absorptive cloud, and possibly a couple more absorbers/diffusion on the ceiling further back in the room then you should be fine... so long as you make the ceiling as high as possible, higher than a traditional room (over 8-9 ft, preferably over 10).

What about air conditioning.. won’t your shed furring g the summer experience heat? Your gear needs to stay cool and dehumidified ???

@cuomomusiccreation 2 месяца назад

I had an air conditioner (the kind with the hose that goes out the window) last summer. It was more than enough. Now I've got an oil heater for the winter and it's all good too. No shrunken fret boards or humidity damage to the electronics around here. The ceiling ducts help with airflow as well... so it never gets that backwoods tree house feeling.

@braedonavants Месяц назад

Im having trouble figuring out how to position my workstation to be able to access both my 88 key piano and my drumset, and be able to record/mix all from the same chair. Any ideas? I imagine I would need the speakers to be equidistant from the walls but then that means my kick drum will only have a foot or two between the reso head and the wall.

@cuomomusiccreation Месяц назад

Thanks a lot for the question. This is a tough one without seeing the overview of the room unfortunately. However, if mixing is a priority then it is important to have the speakers at the same distance from the side walls. Also, if the room is rectangle then set them up so that they're aimed at the longer behind your mix postion. I've had more luck acoustics wise shoving them up against the rear walls in smaller rooms, as opposed to bringing them out into the room. At least in my experience there's less negative low end consequences, and it saves space.

What did you use for your door cover?

@cuomomusiccreation 8 месяцев назад

I cut a makeshift brace out of plywood to the door dimensions, then spray glued rockwool to that, then tightly wrapped it in a plastic painters tarp and stapled it down to the plywood. Lastly I wrapped it in the black canvas that you see in the video. Unfortunately I forgot to record most of the process 🤦 Thanks for the question!

What are doing about AC? It’s much hotter here than where you live

@cuomomusiccreation Месяц назад

Where do you live? It gets pretty hot and humid in Massachusetts from June until mid September, and I use the type of portable AC unit with the exhaust hose that goes out of the window. It works great, but I attribute the air ducts to the fact that it doesn't feel like a treehouse.

@Mattdylan101 Месяц назад

@@cuomomusiccreation I’m located in Alabama. I have a shed about the same size as yours. I was thinking about getting a a split AC system since they are much quieter than window units. I just wonder if it would create too much ambient noise.

@@Mattdylan101 Well, yes it is too loud for mixing / recording. And I'm sure leaving it off even for a little while would be tough in Alabama 🥵
