whilst you're down here, scroll a little further and drop a comment. I'd love to hear from you if you've done something similar, will try or even just enjoyed watching the process 😁👍 - Наука та технологія
DUDE! The level of detail into this video is NEXT LEVEL! I really hope UA-cam algorithm helps push this. Great understanding to why you should do this and how to do it! When I move to a true studio one day, I am using this as a guide!
Thanks Dude! Glad you enjoyed it 😁 I'm hoping the laser machine practical demo helped with easy visuals, I was struggling to think of how to show 1st adn 2nd reflection points haha.
Also yes do it! For the price of the project and the improvement I got I feel it's so worth it. There's still reverb in the space but dramatically decreased compared to the before videos, but I do have a big blank blue wall behind me in 3x3m room so probably as good as it's going to get with the current config 👍

Wish I could’ve liked this a million times, I hope in the future I will see you at 1 million subs! Just wanted to let you know I’m with you the entire way! :)
Really appreciate it Ozer 😁 I feel blessed to have such support 👍 thank you!

If you wanted to go even cheaper you could get an 18mm sheet of MDF for $31 then cut it into strips. Would work out to about 31 liner meters at 90mm width. Would save hundreds on timber, plus MDF is a good sound deadener due to its high density.
That sound insulation seems pretty good, I'm planning to use it to build a soundproof room in my garage for a woodworking workshop.
I have no idea what this channel is about, but I subscribed a few minutes in. Your attention to detail assembling the panels was alot better than my effort of "hold wood together and drill by eye"
Thanks for watching Phil. Yes I probably should have mentioned some alternative wood options. I went with Pine as had a voucher for Bunnings and figured I'd get something that had minimal cutting effort.
If I had a table saw I'd probably grabbed a sheet of MDF too but my cuts by hand are not straight haha 🤣
Good luck with your workshop! I'll be building some more of these panels for my home theatre, might see if I can make a cheaper MDF version and borrow someth for straight cuts 👍
@@camshand @cam shand Fair enough, you don't need a table saw for those cuts. In general the smaller the tool, the better it is a cutting big things. Trying to wrangle a 45kg MDF sheet onto a table saw is hell.
Best bet it to buy 3 foam panels from Bunnings, place them on the ground and the MDF on-top. Set your circular saw to just thicker than the MDF so that it only just nicks the foam. You can use 2 clamps and anything long and straight as a guide, or cut across the 1.2m length rather than the 2.4. more cuts but less of a pain to get straight cuts.
@@phil2782 oh that's a good idea! I also did discover I have a guide that can be mounted to the side. I bought a jigsaw for my next project and finally realised what it was for. I love working on projects like this one but it is out of my electronics element haha
@@camshand hahah that's surprising, with the details and skill I figured some kind of tradie, but your ryobis a bit to clean for a tradie :P
That's awesome, as a muso - eventually I was looking to build a home studio. I'm not the best at DIY stuff honestly, but that looks nice and easy. Always happy to see music related content, great stuff!
They'll for sure help in a home studio! I know a few people who have made similar D.I.Y. options. I'd usually see hessian/burlap or speaker grill, they tend to show the insulation through it under bright light so not great for my use but when sound is at the forefront of the project they're great cheap fabric options. And well I've got another D.I.Y. Music project underway which I'm about to start on this weekend so stay tuned 😁✌
I've seen a lot of diy acoustic panel videos and I think this is the best! I love that you have the "monkey grip" built into the panel so it dual functions as a support and an optional mounting surface. Very efficient. The chain mounting idea and door mount were also great, haven't seen anyone else show those yet. This design also potentially allows you mount it like a picture frame (might be too heavy tho). The built in air gap in the back also prevents you from having to cut any of the insulation unlike some other designs. And the way you ordered the build, the rear fabric is held nicely in place as you go to staple it permanently instead of it flapping around everywere. Great job man, I'm definitely using your method!
Thanks for the feedback Cody 😍 I'm glad you found some of my tips useful! It's quite the project building so many panels, but laying down the front fabric sheet first had to be the best "workflow" hack I had to not need to wrangle fabric around the insulation haha.
Good luck with your panels! 🤞
Lasers to explain sound reverberated = Earned the sub 😘
Haha it's the best way to find first and second reflection points when doing acoustic treatment too! 😁
Liked and subscribed, for this channel deserves more exposure to the world. Keep up the great work! (loved to see the subwoofer on the chair project too)
Welcome 😍👍 Happy to hear you enjoyed the videos so much, thanks for leaving the comment :)
Sounding great Cam!
Thanks Levi! Now to spend time practicing mic placement 🎤
Amazing stuff. Outstanding editing.
Thank you 😍 I really appreciate it
Hey man I stumbled on your videos recently. I never really comment, but after seeing your view/sub count I HAD to. I have no idea how you haven’t blown up yet bro. Like seriously, I have never seen anything like this before on UA-cam, and I’ve probably wasted 1000+ hours a year on this website for the last 7 years. Keep doing your thing dude. I see HUGE things in your future. Best
wow, I'm speechless Chris 😁 I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a kind comment! Don't worry, I'll keep doing my thing, thankfully I've got a list of video ideas that will keep me busy for a long time to come so I'm happy to keep making videos for people like you. Thank you 😊✌
absolute legend
This actually really helpful
My room makes alot of echos which is interrupted me and my friends making and playing music
I'm so glad to head it helped you Berry 😁 For sure, put a couple of instruments in an untreated room and it'll sound chaotic. Not to mention the echo's and reverbs will throw your rhythm out as you'd be picking up on flutter and out of phase wavelengths. The cheapest option is to buy a couple of thick moving blankets and hang them, they'll act as a great dampener/absorber to get you started. I'll have to get my guitar out and test it in this room now! Rock on dude 🤘

Nice one, I have done similar at home for music listening and home theatre. Interesting to watch how others went about it. I currently have 9 panels/corners and 3 cloud panels. The difference was huge for films, music and PS4 pro. I went for 4" panels all round using slightly different materials as im in the UK. I used Rockwool rwa45 as it seems to be best in the uk for price/performance. Worked out about the same for me £25 uk pounds per panel.
Yeah they make such a surprisingly big difference! Ive got making some for my home theatre planned next.
And interesting, I see a lot of rockwool reccomedations online but in Australia we have other brands mostly but I just found a "sound dampening" variety which I presumed was as dense as I could get off the shelf.
Such a great budget option, buying from music stores would get you one panel haha.
@@camshand I got really geeky and had a read up on best insulation for diy panels. From memory it was all to do with the thermal gas flow properties in the insulation. I wasnt quite sure what that all meant at the time but its basically how the soundwaves pass through the weave of all the fibres of the insulation. Having too dense fibre can also have slightly less performance and still give some reflection. You need some space for the soundwave to move around inside the panels. After a few weeks of reading on forums, watching loads of videos and several joints lol Rockwool rwa45 kept coming up, Owens Corning and Knauf. Aim for similar specs as them I guess. 4" seemed best bang for your buck if you can get away with them that thick in your room.
@@BoredSilly666 yeah did see Owens Corning name too. And actually I did remember hearing about too dense reflecting as well. Also why I just chose the sound variety of Bradford's given its I'm the name haha. All a bit confusing unless you spend a lot of time understanding all the ins and outs! Either way D.I.Y. panels are such a great project, ive already got a few mates planning out theirs now too haha
@@camshand I now noticing everywhere I go just how much echo you get in the average room. I walk about the house and really notice the echoes in the kitchen and bedroom. Its like my ears now know what a room should sound like and its very noticeable when in a room with no treatment, even with general talking. One of my friends now also wants to make some lol
sound panels are so important in a studio.
off it is for music or video recordings.
a good sound always starts with acoustical sound reproduction in every studio
100% makes such a big difference, not only for creating but also consuming. I'm planning the ones for my home theatre, excited to hear the difference in there :)
mate！this video makes me wanna buy some panels from you LOL
worth watching.. by the way wat was that outer fabric type/name? also the type of wood used>?
I used Felt on the outside, it was a pretty thin, like 1 mm, and when stretched opened up the fibres even more. Also the wood was Pine, I would suggest MDF for acoustic properties, however I don't have the correct Dust Extraction devices to safely work with MDF (the dust is really bad for your health) so I chose pine for ease of use.
I ask myself if it is totally safe to use glass wool insulation without it being completely hidden behind a wall.
Maybe the fibers could "leak" through the fabric, idk.
Has somebody some insights?
Awesome video mate, here from ozbargain
Hi! Great to see a fellow ozbargainer :) truth be told the pine for this project was paid with the Bunnings Mavic pro gift card, made this out of pocket cost minimal!
Background look nice
Thanks Keshav! Thought a pop of colour as would help brighten up the scene. Glad it looks good 👍
❤️💪🏻
Thanks for checking out the vid Antonio 😁✌
