Here is how I made a Recording Vocal Booth for Under $100!
(Apologies for the wonky audio. There are detailed instructions below so you don't miss anything!)
_________
For cutting the PVC, you will need a hacksaw, seven 10ft PVC pipes, measuring tape, a pencil/marker, and a mask.
Wear your mask to prevent from inhaling the PVC dust, and take two of the 10ft poles, measure to 5ft (in half), and cut.
Take the rest of the poles, measure 4ft, and then cut another 4ft out of the excess (out of each of these five 10ft poles, you will get two 4ft poles and one 2ft pole).
You should end up with four 5ft poles, ten 4ft poles, and four 2ft poles.
Here are the rest of the supplies:
10 ft PVC Pipes: www.lowes.com/...
Elbow PVC Fittings: www.lowes.com/...
Tee PVC Fittings: www.lowes.com/...
Acoustic Foam: www.amazon.com...
Moving Blankets: www.amazon.com...
Now you are ready to assemble!

What a huge upgrade in audio quality. Splendid DIY acoustic treatment.

@everythinglife2334 2 года назад

This is the cheapest best way I've found! Thank you Soo so much for this!

@triciaosborn8093 10 месяцев назад

This looks great and pretty straightforward. Was there any issues with the sound coming in from the gap between the bottom of the soundproof blanket and the floor? I noticed the length didn't reach the floor. Did that create any issues?

Quick tip, or a blanket on top and something of a shag carpet on bottom

@CaseyTylerCovers 3 года назад

yes! such a great suggestion!

@aidarsays Год назад

I recommend wooden pellets. They are fantastic bass traps. But them in Any box, they will trap the lows

@AmazingKenDottie 2 года назад

That’s a nice and simple build. I like it. I have been mulling this build over in my mind for a few years and today, I decided to finally do it. Thanks to a friend who basically had the frame I needed (metal piping). All I have to get is the blankets and soundproof foam. I will do a slight variation to the build by mounting plywood in the open spaces of the piping and attach soundproof foam to that. Question for you? Do you have a shelf to set an iPad/iPhone or your lyrics on!? Thanks for your video…

@mcneillmama50 2 года назад

I've been toying with the idea of building my own sound proof booth. On a tight budget. Wonder if you could leave off one of the pvc pipes in the middle, so the draped blanket becomes a door where you don't have to duck under to get in?

@ruthlessrich4674 2 года назад

what about using velcro for a door?

@mcsporan Год назад

This is such a great idea, I'll be heading to the plumbers merchant on Monday. One question though, what did you use for a roof?

@CaseyTylerCovers Год назад

awesome! I actually didnt use a roof but you can definitely purchase another moving blanket to lay on the top!

Hi Casey, awesome video :-) I was also checking out how to make a vocal booth and your video came at the right moment - You're awesome :-)

@CaseyTylerCovers 4 года назад

thank you!!

@joshrainbow-IceTenor 4 года назад

@@CaseyTylerCovers Good morning Casey. The blankets you bought are very thin aren't they? Do they absorb enough of the reverb sound of the room? My living room has a lot of reverb and because one person says I need the professional blankets that are high in price and another person says I need thicker blankets because the thin ones don't really absorb anything - love to hear your experience with yours. I am a opera singer, so I not really want a fully closed booth where all sound boomy, the vocal still have to sound alive. Hope you can share with me your idea on the blankets and what your results are with the thin ones you use,,Thanks

@CaseyTylerCovers 4 года назад

@@joshrainbow-IceTenor they are pretty thin! I was trying to keep my booth super cheap, so I definitely would go with a more expensive and thicker moving blankets if you're not worried about price@

@CaseyTylerCovers 4 года назад

@@joshrainbow-IceTenor I think the blankets I have still work nicely though, but I would prefer a thicker one... For what you're looking for they may work though :)

@joshrainbow-IceTenor 4 года назад

Casey Tyler hi Casey, thank you so much for the reply, I rely appreciate that. Thursday I will set up the PVC framework :-) I will check if I can try some out and purchase the one that sounds best, maybe the store here want to let me try a few :-) again, thank you for your help :-)

@darellhaynes6429 2 года назад

Totally Heard- Elbow and ended up buying the wrong thing. Can that be more specific? I didn’t think they were called elbow.

@rafaelmatosdasilva 3 года назад

why didn't you just lay the acoustic curtains over the structure in an inverted U shape and avoid all the hassle of hanging them? you can then cross another curtain over and then you have all 4 sides done. wouldn't this work? thanks!

@rasikpadavali 2 года назад

Thanks madom..

@Dumebi2 2 года назад

Doesn't Lowe's already sell 5ft, 4ft and 2ft poles, or am i an idiot and the reason you suggest the 10ft ones is so that you can save more money

Great idea!! I'll try it on the future! I have the same Yeti mic as you do, yours sounds great! I don't do singing but I'm still trying to make mine sound better. Did you tried any tutorial to calibrate it?

@CaseyTylerCovers 3 года назад

Thank you! Honestly I don’t really know what I’m doing with the mic haha I’m definitely not an expert- I just watch a lot of RU-vid videos!!

@davidbanfield3280 3 года назад

I found a tool called voicemeeter, a virtual mixer. It's free and you can find loads of tutorials on setting it up on youtube.

@19TimiT91 2 года назад

I can hear the difference between computer mic and yeti mic, but I'm not so sure I hear a difference with the yeti mic outside and inside. Is there a reason for that?

@Ethnopharm_33 Год назад

Good idea!!! Very simple. Also if anyone is needing to cut the PVC and don’t have power saws, they sell a little cutter at hardware stores for like 15 bucks.

@willemdegrebber7227 2 года назад

Hi Casey, i don't want to be a smart ass or anything. But when you are in the booth, who presses record? This is a serious question

@CaseyTylerCovers 2 года назад

I usually just bring a chair with my laptop on it in with me! I’ll press record and make sure the music is pushed a bit so I have a few seconds to get situated and then start singing :)

@imrecco 2 года назад

would this help stop people hearing me from though the walls?

@javiergiacomone9861 2 года назад

Same here. We don't have it here in ASIA. Plan to use fleece blanket or quilted comforter.

@jaekim2585 3 года назад

Hi Casey - Did I miss how you dealt with the roof of your booth? Curious about that part!

@CaseyTylerCovers 3 года назад

Hi Jae! I actually don't have a roof on mine. It seems to work really well even without one, but I'm sure if you wanted to buy an extra moving blanket and lay it on top, that would work well too!

@lilogrunwald1934 3 года назад

Awesome! Could you tell me what is product is holding your yeti mic?

@CaseyTylerCovers 3 года назад

Hi Lilo! I’m honestly not sure what brand it is because I got it probably 10 years ago, but it’s just a normal mix stand from guitar center :)

@newlifeknow 3 года назад

Awesome video. I am looking to do the same thing but for me When I’m in the booth singing will the people that live upstairs from me hear me Singing because I got to keep the noise down

@musthavemetalradio 2 года назад

Yes, they will hear you. This is for using as an acoustically treated space to record in (no echo) and is not intended to keep sounds in or out of the booth.

@Marco-zw2lu 3 года назад

Is a booth like this useful for an acoustic isolation treatment ?

@TylerMiami 3 года назад

I've heard these fall over unless you glue the pieces in. Did yours hold up ok?

@CaseyTylerCovers 3 года назад

I put it up and tear it down every time I record and it stays fine! Sometimes its a bit wobbly if I don't take my time to really make sure the pieces are in, but for the most part, it works great!

@jakemorgan3686 4 года назад

Hey Casey, I may have missed it, but could you let me know how many of the blankets and foam pieces you ended up using to build this setup?

@CaseyTylerCovers 4 года назад

hi Jake! I used all 4 blankets for the walls and then I think only about 8 of the foam pieces. It can vary with the foam but I’d definitely stick to all 4 blankets for the walls!

@jakemorgan3686 4 года назад

@pinklatte9612 3 года назад

Is this also soundproofing your voice so people outside the box can't hear you?

It's not quite that soundproof! You can definitely still hear from outside the booth.

You say to order 10ft pieces but you cut it in three pieces of 5, 4, and 2 which is 11ft, so which is it, 10 ft or 11 ft?

@CaseyTylerCovers 3 года назад

It's 10 ft. We only used two 10ft poles and cut them in half (making the four 5ft poles) and then the rest were cut 4ft + 4ft + 2ft = 10ft.

Not a real vocal booth it's an enclosure. For a real vocal booth plan that is 100% air tight 20X years in the business. Not to take away from your enclosure baffle but this isn't booth.
