You are pointing the most sensitive part of the microphone outside, towards the untreated room. No wonder it sounds the same as before. You should flip the setup 180°, so that you have the booth behind you with the mic pointing towards it. That way, no reflections go into the front of the mic (since it's pointing towards the booth) and the reverb coming from the room is now behind the mic, therefore it's not picked up.

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.

That's an interesting idea! It's definitely worth considering the possible outcomes of using the microphone in the opposite direction. Standing with your back to the vocal booth may indeed help to reduce the amount of background noise that gets picked up by the microphone. It's always good to experiment with different setups and see what works best for your specific situation.

Fiberglass and Mineral insulation are basically equal in this application as this vocal booth is about sound treatment and neutrality rather any type of sound proofing where Rock-wool does a slightly better job. Pink is my suggestion over mineral/rock in most scenarios including soundproofing.

@TrueSoundTV 4 года назад

Joshua Stanford Yes I do understand that this video slightly contradicts what I have now stated in newer videos. This is mainly due to the fact that I have just learned a significant more about acoustics over the years. My vocal booth videos were meant for the starter home recording studio who is just looking to have fun recording their music. If you are interested in a serious vocal booth, it needs to be a very large space and is adequately treated on all surfaces like in my new studio build. As you stated, not worrying about frequencies that are lower towards the floor not being important, that still is true when trying to have a minimal vocal booth set up like this. Focusing the acoustic treatment around the microphone it’s going to be the most effective with a minimal set up like this. In the very near future, I’m going to have a video series on building a home recording studio in a bedroom and going through the entire process of how to make it the most effective with what I now know about acoustics

@Salsuero 4 года назад

A vocal booth is literally an acoustically-treated closet. The reason it wouldn't be recommended is if it wasn't acoustically treated. If you were to put acoustic panels up on the walls, ceiling, and the floor isn't concrete, you'd essentially have a vocal booth.

I would scale it up quite a bit and make it 4" thick, and close the back so fiberglass doesn't get in air.

So closing the back actually will begin to reflect more sound. The insulation is what is slowing down/stopping the sound. Thicker insulation would grab more sound

The easiest and best sounding DIY booth I've yet heard. Well done!

@theconvert1208 5 лет назад

I agree with another comment that the choice of the pink foam is likely to create a messy disaster over time (nothing like breathing fiberglass!), and I think it relates to the goals of the project/booth. While there was some positive dampening effect, some of the construction and material choices (presumably in pursuit of the budget goal) seemed to make it unpractical to use over time. The exposed paper backs are a problem in any studio where people come and go. At the very least he could have thrown fabric over it too. I'd have chosen even a particle board or MDF backing for stability--especially if I were significantly "allergic" to the insulation. Also, the pink foam is cheap, but the acoustic value of it is questionable--higher quality acoustic foam is costlier, but more effective. I'm not overjoyed with the bottom being absolutely open either, especially if this is used in a noisy residential environment (which I'd presume most DIY booths might be)--I know it won't completely eliminate all noise, but if you're already doing it, reducing some frequencies of the noise floor is better than not. And as was mentioned elsewhere, rear reflections tend to be a much bigger problem than the behind-mic reflections that most mics are designed to adjust to already. In comments he replied that two of these could be made to stand back to back, but at that point, I think you're better off considering a completely different design. Still, as with any of these, there are ideas about approach, methods, materials, and design that can feed individuals to develop their own designs. Thanks TSS :)

@gabopalacios2028 7 лет назад

Man, I like your ideas but I'm curious about the audio result if you record while your facing the rest of the room with your back against the booth's walls

@TrueSoundTV 7 лет назад

Yes, i know. In another video, i was talking about how these vocal booths only stop sound from the back and not the front. The mics have such good rejection from the back that the vocal booth seems a little redundant. Which is why a fully enclosed vocal booth/treated room will always have a better sound. You should really just build 2 of these booths and stand in between the 2 for the most isolation. Thanks for watching!

@endure_elevate 6 лет назад

Nice video. Can I implement this exact method in building a rectangular enclosed vocal booth? I'm asking because on one of your replies you said an over absorbent and enclosed booth isn't a good booth because it over absorbs some necessary frequencies that make the voice full.

@TrueSoundTV 6 лет назад

Hey so yes you can definitely over-absorb when recording vocals. This does depend on the space your recording in though. So if your room is full carpeted, or is already acoustically treated with more than foam square tiles, it might not be necessary to do the full square booth. So what does the room you're recording in look like? Thanks

@endure_elevate 6 лет назад

TrueSoundStudios Thanks...my room has a bit of space, but not properly treated yet.

Thanks for the video, even if its not perfect it's great that your trying to help people out👍🏻

@JeffDanos 4 года назад

We used the recycled denim insulation instead of fiberglass. It's pricey, but seems to have good acoustic absorption. Just don't believe the pix of little kids touching it. It may not have the itchy qualities of fiberglass but the amount of dander that it drops during installation is dreadful. It helps a little if you shake it outside before installing. Still need a respirator.

@MrFree-vj8qj 3 года назад

add 2 or 3 others and it could work for singing and most situations, also a flat surface like that is just asking for reflection even if the soundproofing is great the acoustic treatment isnt unless you add acoustic panels to these

@HKMUSICWORLDTV 7 лет назад

Great but what about the réflexion from the back do I need an other back panel ?!....

@TrueSoundTV 7 лет назад

That's a great question. So if you don't already have acoustic treatment in the room your recording/mixing in, then yes some sort of absorption would be helpful. This also depends on the mic your using and it's polar pattern and how it rejects sound. I wish there was a way to show you how the booth sounds when you are in front of it. The video doesn't do it justice. So in the end, if you don't have acoustic treatment in your recording space, you could built 2 of these booths and leave room between them to go in and out. Or build this booth and built one extra wall to put behind you. Hope this helped!

@HKMUSICWORLDTV 7 лет назад

TrueSoundStudios appreciated men am gonna do that thanks for the advise 😀👌

@robertdurhammusic 7 лет назад

Would you say this method was better than vocal booth 2? As there's no backing for reflections coming back to the front of mic. One other question if that's ok. I built my own vocal booth recently with the rectangle method however I feel it's sounding really boxy even with bass traps. The booth walls are made from plywood with acoustic foam convoluted panels covering top to bottom. The ceiling and booth door are treated the same way and the floor is carpet tile, small rug and thick folded rug. (More so for squeaky flooring)😊. I'm feeling the booth may be too big in length at 110 cm length , 90cm wide and 200cm height therefore is giving me a lot of the booth wood noise possibly. Would you suggest shortening the length of the booth or would blankets in booth 2 be a better option and remove the wood walls altogether to reduce boxiness and boominess. My room sounds reasonable and has some treatment. I feel option 3 could work but I was looking to have it isolated a bit more like booth 2 and was wondering about the return reflections hitting the front of the mic With booth3 Great videos buddy and very informative. Sorry for the long question.

@TrueSoundTV 7 лет назад

+Robert Durham Music So yes, vocal booth number two is still an effective booth but because it's limited by the thickness of the blankets, I think the results could vary quite a bit. I personally think the R13 insulation in a standard room sounds and works the best. Obviously this is based on my equipment and my experience. So what are your walls exactly made of? Is it plywood covered by one or 2 inch foam? Let me know, thanks

@robertdurhammusic 7 лет назад

Hey man. Yes that's pretty much it. 3-5 mm plywood with 2 inch thick foam tiles. I placed 2 bass traps in the corners behind the mic facing singer ceiling to knee level. And another 2 along the ceilings of the walls to make the booth less square. I think the ceiling could possibly be too low which is giving me the extra bass but I'm thinking of just going with the producer choice blankets and going with your vocal booth 2 option. I even took the door off the booth to decrease any boxiness. It's a shame as my vocal booth was great and felt a nice place to record. But then if it doesn't sound great it's useless. Thanks for the reply.

@TrueSoundTV 7 лет назад

Robert Durham Music Yeah that is definitely not what you want to happen after you spend time putting it all together. I unfortunately haven't had good results with those foam acoustic panels. They seem to do the least amount of acoustic damping to a room. The problem you're experiencing sounds like the sound is passing straight through the foam and is being reflected back by the plywood. The reason that the acoustic panels in vocal booth 3 works so well is because there is no reflective surface behind the panel and they're 4 inches thick. If you're not too concerned about how it looks, I would first try draping thick comforters over the foam panels. This should add some extra dampening and reduce the hollow sound.

@robertdurhammusic 7 лет назад

TrueSoundStudios fantastic man. That's what I was initially going with. Where the sound was bouncing back from the ply. I hung up 2 smaller panels similar to your vocal booth 3 on both sides of the vocalist and kept the bass traps also. However I still feel the ringing is still there based on the fact the ceiling and behind the mic are essentially treated the same as the sides with just ply and foam. I think I need to eliminate the ply and foam and look at doing a hybrid of your 2 and 3 booths. Build the booth 2 frame but have the walls and ceiling made as booth 3. Just fabric and insulation for density. Time consuming yes, extra work maybe lol. But as my studio is in and around an office block to have the isolation is more desirable and beneficial. Outstanding sir thank you for taking the time to help me out with this. Your video content is phenomenal and straight to the point.

As a professional, I'm gonna let your "this is obvious" revelation fall flat. No one said using something like this wouldn't reduce reflections at all. However, this definitely won't "PREVENT sounds from even entering the room." That logic may be obvious to you... but to me, it's just obviously incorrect.

Great video. Are you going to do anything with the vocal booth? I would buy it from you if your willing to sell it?

Thank you! So yes i'm going to sell this after i do a video comparing all of these vocal booths. So where do you live anyways? I couldn't ship this, it's too massive.

What sound absorbing material (to reduce room reflections) should I go for, for a song booth frame, that also isn't crazy expensive? It can't be very heavy either, as the frame is made of plastic (pvc-pipes). Is velvet fabric a good choice, or thick duvets? Or a combination? I've heard "moving blankets" can do a good job too.

@Incinerate7 4 года назад

@@donnyten2041 My booth simply fell apart. PVC-pipes aren't very rigid when thick duvets/blankets are placed on them. I made a doubled frame with the pipes and the duvets instead, leaning against my living room wall, which will be behind my back when I'm singing. I think this is a better solution. I've read a lot on Sound On Sound and they think these solutions are the best budget alternatives. A booth tends to result in a boxy and unnatural sound, they said, if it's not a premium and carefully designed booth. A frame doesn't take up much space either.

@craigsweeden1376 2 года назад

Why would you use fiberglass ? Roxul? Roxul is way better. First hand experience. Doesn’t slump like fiberglass. Had better absorption for low Frequencies, hence most bass traps are made out of roxel in professional studios. It doesn’t itch when handling still use gloves but it’s also friendlier on your health. Once I switched to Roxul it was hands down better in everyday. For roughly 45 to 48 bucks you can get a huge roll of it at Home Depot . Just throwing my two cents in. Nice presentation

Why did you pick the material R13 fiberglass? That type of material was designed for thermal insulation inside a wall cavity. You don't want to breath the tiny fiberglass particles that will become airborne. R13 wasn't really designed for acoustic treatment for music and speech. So, why didn't you use another material that was designed for music and speech for acoustic treatment?

@frankjameseagles9670 3 года назад

it does not address the issue of reflections from the front of the microphone/booth. you could have built dual corners and had one in the front and in the back and it really would have made a difference.

@rmv2333 3 года назад

Nice video but instead of spending 60€, I'm spending 120€ and I'm building a complete booth with 4 walls. Plus, mine will be filled with acoustic foam attached to the inner parts of the walls. If my vocals don't sound clean with this I'll probably jump off the window xD

You are funny ) Why do you need stay faced to this panels man? If you have shotgun mic on your cam,which capturing the sound just in front of you,so your panels in front of you do zero job,cuz your shotgun mic or typical condenser or dynamic mic which have cardiod diaphragm capture sound only in front of you,so all you need to do stay with your back to this panels,so the sound not bouncing of the walls in front of your mic,and for more effective,you put a small panel on mic stand behind your mic,that will be the most effective way using this kind of rig for record vocals

@SomnoNaut 4 года назад

I don't understand why you built the walls with spaces for 15 inches of insulation, when the insulation is manufactured for 16" on center home framing. Why not just make your openings to be 16" on center (yes even with the 1 by pine boards), then there would be no need to cut any insulation except at the ends. The flaps built into the insulation could just be flipped and then stapled. That fiberglass insulation gets nasty when it flies around. You really should use gloves and long sleeves when doing any exposing of the fiberglass.

@TrueSoundTV 4 года назад

Claude Albertario 16 on center framing is only the from the center of a 2x4 to the next center. The actual space between the two 2x4s is 14.5 inches which is why insulation is 15 inches so it fits snuggly. No matter what, handling isolation makes the fibers fly around, even gently unrolling it. Also, the more wood you put into an absorber, that makes more reflection points which your trying to avoid.

@SomnoNaut 4 года назад

@@TrueSoundTV Then why is there all the cutting along the edge of the fiberglass insulation showing the pink? It is supposed to be encapsulated. The space was too small, so the sides had to be cut? I don't get it.

@Salsuero 4 года назад

So Vocal Booth #2 was better than #1 because you enclosed the space. But #3 is better because you used fiberglass insulation and somehow didn't need to enclose the space as a result? I'm calling shenanigans. If you want a "booth" -- it needs to be enclosed. Otherwise, you simply built a couple walls to a booth. I'm not saying it won't be effective, but why is this better than #2 other than using thicker insulation than blankets if the entire back is exposed?

how to make your reording boxy and muddy 101. alone the fact, you tell to use BLACK fabric like blue sounds different. those boxboothes are the ebola of audioyoutube. it is at the same time more sibliance while more rumble and will be way worse if you layer 3-4 takes. it gotta sound like those amateurthings sound-worse.

@Noxo_off 3 года назад

it's not a booth fella ... what about the isolation behind you ? you just spent a lot of money doing this and you could just buy those useless front shields they selling everywhere for the same result ... when you press rec, the sound will travel behind you as fast as possible and your booth will be useless cuz the sound will bounce back into you cardioide microphone ... So, you used time, money, space, tools, ... for ... nuttin

This tutorial is ineffective and DANGEROUS. Rock wool is toxic and should be covered with more than just fabric. On a second note, rock wool isolates sound, it doesn't dampen it. So it will do nothing to your reverberation. So I'm sorry but no, no, no. Don't imitate this guy, he clearly doesn't know what he's doing.
