As we’re setting up a new studio in our spare bedroom, basement or attic there’s often this nagging thought of:
“Man, is this really gonna work..?”
The room is SO small. The ceiling is SUPER low. And the resonances in here are just OFF THE CHARTS.
Is it even worth doing anything at all?
In today’s video I want to show you just how much IS possible, even under what seems like the worst circumstances.
Together, we’re going to look at what just 10 bass traps can do to fix the low end in a small home studio.
And yes, I’ll show you all the measurements as well.

It's such a pleasure to watch the French and the German speaking in english somewhy ;)

@WarerBrow 9 месяцев назад

Can't thank you enough for what you're doing Jesco. You probably know the tendency in audio-engineering circles to promote the "ear-only" approach, like if one does not need measurements and should only listen trying to find something pleasing. Hence the "every voice his own microphone" approach, which probably pleases manufacturers most :) With your information I really started feeling that I'm finally understanding where am I going in terms of building my own studio.

@Xaikar 9 месяцев назад

Great interview, I just recently built my own absorbers and traps myself and I can relate to so much of this. Thank you both.

@lexvane3494 9 месяцев назад

Thanks so much, again very informative and once again proves what's you can achieve when doing a few, but thought through, steps!

@ricrocren 8 месяцев назад

Great interview. I need to get this course. I'm literally at this point where I've built a bunch of absorber panels, but it looks like I need to apply this "systematic approach", so that I can ensure success in the outcome.

@lorenzo4708 9 месяцев назад

Hey Jesco, Loving these interviews, as always. In my previous studio, I used twenty 18cm deep panels, and they worked like a charm. Now, in a smaller room (2.49x3.12x2.45m) after selling my old panels, I'm thinking of going for those fabric stretch PVC profile systems for acoustic walls. But, I'm wondering if covering more surface area will really give me significantly better results than the panels. In a previous video you mentioned diminishing returns; what do you think? Your thoughts would be awesome! Thanks

@SunnySkiesInAZ 8 месяцев назад

Great video, Would these techniques translate to 15 channel home theater? I have an idea on where I should treat; ipsilateral and contralateral, corners for bass build up, and ceiling for for center speaker reflection. Curious if your ideas are only for studios.

@nikolaudio 8 месяцев назад

Jesco, do you have anything to say about nearfield-subwoofer setups? If it would/could be beneficial etc

@WarerBrow 9 месяцев назад

Isn't it right that since echo time in LF not improved (500ms), that will still have huge impact on bass? Like, if frequency keep playing when other note already started - will it create additional disruptions in the said frequency response?

@dansantoso48 9 месяцев назад

For me empty room is very hard to find seating position i prefer corner and middle absorber in place much easier to hear but i cant put sub in corner anymore so i use middle point.

@cassio_zambotto 7 месяцев назад

I hear early reflections in his voice quite heavily for a sweet spot (assuming he is sitting in the sweet spot). Very surprised with the prices, here in Brasil rockwool is insanely more expensive than wood.

@KaneDWilliams 8 месяцев назад

Is there a reason you chose to build the panels without the diffuser faces that Jesco himself uses? What are the dimensions of your room please, as it looks like it could even be as small as the space I have to convert to a studio, although sadly, I think this is still ages away due to the list of other home improvements to do.

@ooooobpbpbpooooo 9 месяцев назад

Sorry if I missed it but, the graph axis at 43:50 are SPL, Frequency, and what? Decay time in ms? Thanks!

@RichieWynne 9 месяцев назад

Yes, delay time in ms :-)

@KaneDWilliams 9 месяцев назад

How thick are Paul’s panels and did he have any air gaps? It sounds like he didn’t as he said he screwed them directly to the walls. Thanks

@padenot 8 месяцев назад

Panels are 15cm thick and I have air gaps of ~20cm on the ceiling and the ones behind the speakers are in the corners so that's a fairly big gap. No gap on lateral panels indeed.

@KaneDWilliams 8 месяцев назад

Thank you Paul.@@padenot

@WackyJackyTracky 9 месяцев назад

Wouldn‘t it be better if he closed the gap to the wall of the front-corner traps? Also he didn‘t seem to have done anything on the back wall…. diffusors and combined diffusor-bass-traps?

@lauris.marcenoks 9 месяцев назад

didnt catch which exactly rockwool was used? trying to find which one to take in europe but its so dificult as they dont need to measure gas flow resistivity anymore and it just syas ACCORDING TO EU STANDARTS.......which one to chose guys?

@RichieWynne 9 месяцев назад

I went for 33Kg per cubic metre but it was difficult to find. The retailers don't seem to publish the gas flow figures but they do publish the weight and 33 is spot on. If its between 30 and 40 you should be fine. Hope this helps :-)

@padenot 8 месяцев назад

I used Rockmur Nu from Rockwool (each country has a different range it seems like that's the name here). It's the afr10 (meaning > 10 KPa · s/m2 air flow resistivity) product that is used for isolation of attics or that kind of thing. It doesn't have any paper backing or anything like that. I found the precise certification in a pdf on their website, they have to make them available for each product I think, you have to dig a bit but it's there.

@highshelf9138 8 месяцев назад

@@RichieWynnewhat about 50kg? Is it overkill¿ Or it works better¿

@Studio22mix 8 месяцев назад

10 base traps only 😮 Please don’t tell Eric Velentine ❤

@zootook3422 9 месяцев назад

Low number of panels maybe but the room is small so the % of covered area is pretty high. The benefit of small rooms 😁

@padenot 8 месяцев назад

This room is 4.3x2.41x2.48m, that translates to ~54m² of surface. 10 panels of 1.2x0.6m is 7.2m² so that's about 13% of coverage (but four of those aren't flat on the walls so not quite).

@manuelalmeida2635 6 месяцев назад

why do people pay hunderds Euro for a course, to know how to position yourself and put panels around your speaker and first reflections Points? Im not hating but what makes people pay that money?

@novinnovations4026 2 месяца назад

Honestly, audio treatment information is pretty readily available at this point. Everything is out there to learn for free. People pay for these things bc they believe the course has magic information that isn't available anywhere else that will make all the difference in their setup. They are, of course, mistaken.
