Studio Acoustic Treatment Explained 

I love competent people. Thanks.

Finally someone who knows what hes talking about. Thank you¡

Dudes like a a wizard with those pens!

Best. Simplest. And most to the point acoustics vid I’ve seen on RU-vid. This is great thanks!

this is the best video about treating a room that I've found! thanks so much!

I've been looking around for information on this for ages and coming up short. This was the most informative and helpful video I've been able to find so far thankyou!

Great video. Straight to the point, everything you need to know explained in a way that makes sense and is incredibly useful. Thanks!

I've watched a ton of those acoustic clips and this is the best one imo.

AWESOME! Thx for the vid, guys!

Can't beat a whiteboard and dry markers as an instant visual aid. Noticed some stretching of yer man's vocabulary there and yet he still made clear what he was meaning. Very down to earth and pragmatic approach to the matter at hand, which is important. Loved his emphasis on change only what you can change - and, if you cannot change something, move! Got a good few ideas for my own space from this. Thank you for making and posting it!

Great video, well-explained. Thank you.

So clear and easy to understand. Awwwesome tutorial!!!

This is a gem of a video. Excellent explanation!

Extremely helpful - thanks!!

Thank you very much for this!

Great video , thank you

well done keep uploading such vedios it is helpful for many of the people throughout the world. I am a student and doing telecommunication engineering. Today I visited an RADIO STATION where they were talking about the acoustic treatment I wanted to know why these treatment are done, this vedio has cleared all my doubts. well done. love from india

thanks Bro! I love it.

I must say I looked at this video and did not notice the guy on the my left until a few day ago. This was in my Watch Later List. I had seen this before but I am trying to watch all my most important videos. Thanks

Great video, one of the best I've seen, plus he doesn't plug his company constantly like so many of these type of videos on youtube do.

well explained ! thanks

this is such a great video. thank u.

I've just moved to a place with a nice large rectangular studio but it has windows down one (long) side,I.e. at a reflection point, so a drape won't be enough will it, how can I have a panel there too? The only way to have the same materials on both side of the listening position would be to position it across the room so I am facing across. I was thinking maybe I should block the window and put a panel on top of that? Thanks for any suggestions, the video is very clear and helpful and I really appreciate your efforts.

very good video, thx

Sir, glass wool vs Ceramic wool blanket. i didnt find any video on ceramic wool acoustic property. what is the acoustical absorbtion differences between both of same thickness. which one will give better result in case of absorbtion?

This will help me a lot with my upcoming home studio project. I will also like to learn about live stage recording on a budget of course. Can you recommend a book...? I'm good with math so I'd like to delve into the technical as well as the theoretical.

Hi DJ Vespar, I have watched your videos on youttube and got some great ideas on the vocal booth acoustics. I have one question for you. I am build a new studio in my garage and I have a 6 X 7 ft. vocal booth and I was wondering if it's ok to use a metal door instead of a wooden door? I will be using double dry wall with sound board in the between the walls for insulation, and also i will be putting the foam on the inside of the booth.

Very interesting....Thanks

Totally competent wow

been building some bass traps from high density material and some thinner primary reflection panels which are a bit thinner for mids and highs. everything he says is true, esp. that it's easy. about 1000 AUD is required. about 700USD. happy to speak to melbourne folk with panels.

Thanks!! i hope this guys getting paid well, dayumm it helps

Oh wow Thank you so much :)

This is amazing

Say your building a room for a recording space (which is what I'm hoping on starting soon). your obviously gonna want glass between you and a vocal booth to visually communicate with a vocalist. Where would the best place be to build the booth to coincide with the best place to put the glass in the room? I figure the more symmetrically perfect room is going to distribute the sound more evenly (correct me if I'm wrong). Would the best place to build a booth be In a room directly in front of your line of sight on the other side/behind your work station?

good lad straight to the point

THANK YOU

Great video. What absorbing material for diy are out there other then fiberglass to use . Multible moving blankets to will help that's what I can think of right now . I'm a hobbyist and my room size is approximately 12'×14'×8' high.

This is probbaby one of the best educational acoustic acoustic treatment videos iv seen, very easy to understand. Thanks! - Also your link in the description to watch the whole series link is broken

What kind of material were you guys talking about at 8:50? Thanks

Great stuff:D

Sir I want to know if I setup a booth inside a room specially for recording voice with all around acoustic treatments like using acoustic foam , is that a good idea for setting up a bedroom studio ,I mean home studio using a booth instead of taking acoustic treatment all over the room. Remember I have two windows. One is too big. Please let me know sir.

old but GOOD - thank you

can we send a blueprint of our studio for advice for treatment and where to put it

What about a lead walled room for treatment. What would this do?

Other then foam wot can I use for treatment ?

Great video! One question though, is it okay to only use upper mid range headphones to compose music? I can't use speakers since it would bother the neighboors and the bass would probably break my house down. Lete me know! Thanks!

In a rectangular room, is it preferable to set up along the long edge or the short edge? The diagram shows a long edge set up, I wanted to set up along the short edge but I’m unsure if that would cause any extra problems with treating. Thanks!

Before I move on to acoustic treatment, I would like to do some general sound proofing on my walls as at the noment bass vibrates the walls and sometimes creates rattles as well as disturbing other people in my property. How efficient would carpet tiles be as a relatively low cost solution for the walls? At the moment I do more listening than recording but I have the equipment to do so in the future but I feel that some basic soundproofing is a place to start. Thanks in advance.

Nice, Sir, Thank you, Sir

Great video bro

thank you .....

If there is a big window in the room where would be the best positioning for a studio set up? Is it best to have it behind or in front of the speakers? Thanks in advance!

I recently moved into a house with a basement with my fam and I have my parents living with us so to make their lives easier until they get their home, me and my fiance' took the basement. The basement is unfinished though, but it has very thick Owens Corning insulation along the main area of the walls where the "den" would be with the sliding glass door but everywhere else; our bedroom area, the laundry room, the back of the staircase, and the unfinished bathroom has nothing. You can walk through the framing into the next room. My setup is a mix between being ready for recording music as well as the ability switch over to TV/Movie viewing and/or gaming. I apologize for how long this comment is but I wanted to give an idea of what my area looks like in order to see if anyone knows if it's a good idea for me to get panels to put up in the area and those very thick drape sheets (I think it's called Feter or Feeter idk how to spell it ) over my sliding door so that when I do record in chances to make my area more acoustically treated with the limitation of not being able to actually finish the basement. Also, of course being unfinished means the floors are still concrete is that an issue? Oh I forgot, I have a garage to, as I sit in my chair facing the screen the wall to the garage is behind the monitors and comp screens, the sliding door to my left the back of the houses wall is to the rear, it's the wall that has the overly stuff insulation to where they had to shoot rivets into it.

So, if the foam is bad for the low freq, then what are these panels, that you're talking about, made from?

I haven't watch the video and I already click the like button.

Are thinner panels necessary if thicker ones are already absorbing the highs?

Hi, Can felt be used as a material? Is it dense enough? Thanks

How do you know which material blocks which frequency?

Hiya. Quick question if I may. I just got this stuff to line a box for a desktop booth. Voice for podcast. Makes a big difference but Im wondering if this will distort bass? www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1167065609 Your thoughts?

what about a cloud above your head , or a rug under your chair

Greater the frequency!!.. greater the energy.. not vice versa!!

i have a very odd shaped room that i produce in, to my right (when on my desk) is a small stairway to a door. behind me a little to the right is an opening that leads into a small square are where the backdoor is located. its in the basement of my home. i have a lot of shelves and stuff all over the walls. i see all these videos and i see people explaining acoustics in a rectangular room with no extended areas or level changes and i would like to know how i would go about my acoustic treatment for this room?

Can't we just put up a panel that is of the same size as that of the window?

I have lots of foam, is there such a thing as too much foam ?

Sounds like That Ghost busters Guy :D

I have two windows in my room and I have placed my monitors in front of one Window.

P.S. I think it's funny how you can just see the other bloke's nose creeping in to view from the left. Dare I say it, being a bit....nosey HAHAHAHAHA

Video about the problems of non-conditioned rooms is filmed with crappy sound in a non-conditioned room.

do expired rabbits absorb as good as cats?

Glass is bad in studios. It's a good thing the majority of recording studios don't have glass between the control room and the live room.

The acoustics of the room he's in are horrible.

Don`t care about a train going by. I play loud rock.I wouldn`t care if my studio was 20ft from the tracks

dead cats?? whatcha talkin''bout ;]

Soooo we're all just gonna act like the dead cats comment didn't happen.......???

It would help if you coughed, the croakie voice drives me up the wall.

I'm sorry but sound energy has nothing to do with frequency... Actually it does for electromagnetic waves, but sound is a mechanical wave, therefore the explanation with the "area under the function" that our "expert" explains is false.
