The dark material around the screens and speakers makes a lot of sense and absolutely looks better. Just as the sand color tubes with the couches at the back of the room look coordinated. The way it is now the front looks like an unfinished patchwork.
darker color for sure... what an amazing space. thanks for taking us along for the ride. living vicariously through this journey has been great. thank you.
Indeed! Go for the Grey! Eric, I would LOVE a T-Shirt depicting the before and after graphs of where you started and where you arrived! Congratulations!!! "Keep Doing That Voodoo That You Do!"
Another vote for darker at the front. I agree it'll make the screens a little easer to lock into! What an amazing space, thanks so much for putting in so much extra effort to bring us along with you on the journey. Can't wait to hear what you create in here! And definitely put me down for a workshop if you decide to do them!
Eric, I also want to tell you your explanation for why you went down this path is so refreshing and relatable - I relate to your videos, thought process and style in so many ways. I want to say, the detail, and passion in which you explained at around 41:30 on why you went down this path on your own was completely real and inspiring! Every Word, ment so much and I think it's a great lesson for anyone taking on any project.. Sometimes you just have to do it yourself, cover all the bases, just keep pushing till ya get there... and know you will get there... Don't give up! At the end of the day you didn't have to depend on someone else. You can keep track of the process and all your blood and sweat are in it!!! Man that will just resonate even more from the final creation... When you say how "some may call you a crazy person and you'll take all that, It's all good" I want to be one to tell you that you're not crazy. You Are totally inspiring, you're a hard-working genius! A killer mixer, and all the time, energy and focus you have put into your projects have come back tenfold every time! ⭐ Thanks for all that you share with us! 🍻
A big congrats to all that incredible effort you put in Eric 🎉… again your generous and discerning spirit is much appreciated over “hear”. I’ll take your learnings when I build. Thank you so much.
Congrats ! I didn't have any doubts that you're gonna get to that point seeing how determined you are. Big thanks for sharing ! I think I would go for the dark fabric around speakers and monitors too!
I absolutely LOVE the way you're not pushing your son into doing what you guys do, and letting him learn by exploration! This "unlearning" approach is what we did with our boys and they've completely DOMINATED in their respecive fields (older son in music and younger son in graphics, video and programming)
Erik. I really enjoyed these youtube videos of your journey. Your obsessive nature came through the whole story and I totally appreciated it. Some great information throughout.
This journey has been awesome to watch! I hope to get a full walkthrough of the studio once it's all complete! As for the front wall fabric, my vote is stay with the contrast that's there, the current fabric contrasts so well against the mechanisms on the wall, it's nice. Have a lovely day!
I think that dark gray would eliminate a little bit of distraction/visual clutter, and would effectively open up the space a bit. It wouldn’t be a massive difference, but worthwhile!
Amazing. Eric, can I suggest that you publish this for either AES or the Acoustical Society, or both? Because I work in acoustics, and I've never seen a more detailed and objectively measured exploration of controlling room modes. I think it would be super valuable info. Also I think the decision to stay rectangular is correct. There's basically no way to predict modes in a non-rectangular room (except perhaps now with Treble software) but you can (sort of) do it with simple shaped rooms. And you're absolutely correct, that so many high end control rooms have super uneven low-frequency sound fields.
From the graph it looks like you're within +/-5db even without the eq, which is really really good. Such a pain in the ass trying to figure out where the weird nulls are coming from and how to fix them, but so satisfying when you do. I vote dark gray for the front.
Nothing but respect and admiration for you Eric! I like the fact that you look to achieve certain results and you don't stop until you get exactly what you want. If you need to fire up the old Singer sewing machine or split some big PVC tubing, Eric's going to find a way! Thank you for sharing all of this experience, lessons learned, and the fun of just getting to see the progress you've made...
can't even express how wonderful it's been that you've brought us all on this journey with you! I love the care you've given in replying to all the questions, including mine! And the way that you've passionately sunk all the time and work into testing all the treatments so that we don't have to, is such a service to the audio community! The only possible downside is that the cost of Tube Traps might go through the roof! lol. btw...my new favorite audiophile catchphrase is now "phasey disaster roller coaster ride of low frequency insanity" hahhahahaha!
thanks for sharing so much insight, I've also taken your approach to testing and listening, and now I have three giant tubes on my floor, these tubes have tubes in them, so big tube has six little tubes inside ;) oh and def go grey back wall.
Aesthetically, I agree that the front wall being covered in a grey fabric will help “blend” those utility panels and the screens. FWIW, I think the room needs more contrast. It’s a little “one note” of light shades and yellow. If the wood were walnut or darker, you’d have some nice, darker tones to contrast the sand fabric. The beige carpet is the outlier here for my taste. I’d pull that and make the carpet compliment the wood tones. So, you’d have the sand fabric, walnut wood, and a carpet color that complimented the wood tones. Perhaps a lighter, or medium grey tone. That subjective fodder aside, it’s such a cool room concept, EV. You’re a master.
thank you Eric, what you do is just invaluable and awesome! have you tried doing measurements in different positions in the room just to see if this flat curve is somewhat relevant?
This is what I admire maybe most about you Eric. You cut through the shit / hype and get the facts of the matter in every aspect of sound. Thank you once again!
I also think the room looks great, certainly doesn’t have a mad scientist look. I’m still a little lost on the tube trap construction if you could do a detailed construction video. Glad you’re back Eric. Fingers crossed you get the call for Guns n Roses 🤞
Eric-I have experience with the same situation with the screens and adding a dark background instead of the light beige I originally had... And I tell ya, making everything dark around the screens really sets your focus at the screens and made a huge difference in my space and enjoying my screens and work flow. As long as you have ample light sources to make up for the loss of reflection from the beige background you're good to go with the darker colors.. I hope you do it. Can't wait to see it. Congrats on getting to this stage. So happy you're happy! It really looks awesome and You did so much work!!! s S much of your energy is in that building already! -- Let the music flow 🎉🥳⭐️⭐️🍻🎶🎵☮️
Yes, go with the dark grey. And get some tape and pull out the dust cap on that speaker cone, it’s tweaking my OCD. “The illusion of a finished look”, my life’s philosophy.
would the tubes with 1 inch walls work as good as the one with 2 inch walls? ive seen online that the 1 inch wall versions are slightly cheaper (10 inch diameter to make it 12 inch outer diameter) as compared to the 2 inch walls (8 inch inside to make it 12 inch outside). any thoughts or experience with thoses differences?
I've only used 2" (Vermont) and 1.5" (Barefoot Recording) tubes and both worked well. I didn't have an opportunity to quantify any difference between those two. I have never tried 1" so I can't say for sure that they would be better or worse. You may have to buy a few of each type and compare them. If you have a chance to do that definitely let everyone know what the results are :)
I want to really thank you Mr. Valentine. You have really made a public service to all of us interested in acustics with your incredible journey documenting your progress. I really hope your facility will be operating to your liking and you will enjoy it even more. Other then that personally i like more a brighter/whiter appearance to the room. But I guess what more important question is, while working, what comfortable and non distracting the different colors/shades are to you personally?
Hi Eric. Calling from Oslo Mastering. Couldn't agree more about the thoughts of all the studio with big budgets sounds craps. I have done like you, did all by myself and it's one of best sounding rooms in the hole country. 8 hz to 23khz. But why not cover the hole wall with fabric? Then the tubes are behind the fabric and you have nice flat wall? Thanks for making these videos ❤
Have you measured the RT60 across the frequency range? Very curious where it ended up and your thoughts on ideal RT60 times for mixing music. Thanks for showing your process and congrats on being done the control room!
looking great, congrats Eric ! I'm at the start of building a studio, and I'm tempted to leave the floor open between the speakers and me ( with a metal grid + cork, the sound will then cross the studs and rockwool into the basement) . It's a bold move, to NOT finish the hard floor structure, but basically it supresses the floor reflection in the low-end. I think Rue Boyer studio in Paris have pull that off as well. Have you ever seen that ? or anyone ? I am also curious to see your cork floor with good lighting!! pretty awesome choice. All the best music to you, in your new gorgeous space!
Well done the room looks amazing. Just wondering if you could build a fabric frame that covers the whole back wall instead of covering each tube individually ? Cheers
Learned a lot, tks! congrats, enjoy the vids, please keep it up! 👍 Leave it tan, or make it black vs. grey? Slowly doing something similar but on a much smaller scale.
Totally vote for the dark fabric on those panels. I'd even consider wrappin the first couple tubes on the ceiling with the dark fabric to chill out the reflection from the monitors.
Congratulations on the finished room Eric! Has anyone found a good supplier for fibreglass pipe insulation tubes in the uk by any chance? All the ones I've seen are foil covered - I don't know if that makes a difference?
I did the same with my son, he never really developed any interests. It really made me wonder how much the limitations on when I could play drums and when I couldn’t had an impact on my drive to really want to do it all the time.
1,000,000% dark frame the screens. You will also be able to run screens at a lower brightness, easing eye-fatigue, if the y don't have to compete with the brighter surrounds... Amazing transformation in the eleventh hour. Gorgeous now - although I'll always think fondly back to the "box of Tampons" look! Congrats man....success.Now enjoy!
Congrats for the excellent job! Do you have a reverb analysis (RT60, 1/3 Oct). that would be great additional info about how the room turned out... and how it compares to mine ;)
+1 for the Grey. Will contrast nice with the wood frame around the rack space as well. Or you match the desktop colour to that sand colour and see how that feels.
Hi Eric. What you said between 42:00 and 44:00 is so interesting to me. I don´t think that i´m able to treat my space to an acceptable listening room in the near future for various reasons. I think it would be better for me to buy really good working headphones instead. Do you have any advice? Thanks so much and greetz. Carsten✌🏼
The headphones I use are nothing special. I use Audio Technica M50s. I am used to them now and I can get pretty far with those. The only thing that is still very difficult for me to figure out on headphones is the lowend. For some reason I still need to feel that in the room :)
Here is a link to the Johns Manville dealer locator. That is how I found the place I purchase from in Vermont. There should be plenty of places in CA. www.jm.com/en/insulation-locator/
I'd love to see waterfall and reverb response charts. From my own experience getting a flat response is only part of the battle. For EG: if your reverb time is too short at certain frequencies you might add to much reverb etc. Thoughts?
That's a cool room. I'm new to this series. Does anyone mind telling me more about those tubes? What are they made of? I'm assuming an absorption and diffuser in one? Does it help with the low end? Seems pretty lightweight in the video. Again, awesome room and a great frequency response. How are the decay times in there?
The dark material around the screens and speakers makes a lot of sense and absolutely looks better. Just as the sand color tubes with the couches at the back of the room look coordinated. The way it is now the front looks like an unfinished patchwork.
Agreed
Dark disappears and light features things. I’d say it’s best to make absorption disappear. Go dark fabric.
yep, 2 tubes and all the flat panels. Dark. I agree
100% yes to the dark fabric 👍🏼
darker color for sure... what an amazing space. thanks for taking us along for the ride. living vicariously through this journey has been great. thank you.
Def make the front panels dark color
Thank you for involving us on this journey from when it started Eric.
Change it to dark grey for sure!
@@MrGeesbouerGrey for sure!!!! I was about to send you this video hahaha,look at you 🤣
Yes to the dark fabric. Good thinking.
Indeed! Go for the Grey! Eric, I would LOVE a T-Shirt depicting the before and after graphs of where you started and where you arrived! Congratulations!!! "Keep Doing That Voodoo That You Do!"
What an incredible journey from concepts to completion and more to come. Fascinating!
Building my first semi legit studio. These tubes are a GAME CHANGER. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE 🙏🏿
Your journey of building this room is amazing, this is probably the best studio-building documentary ever made, I learned so much. Thank you!
Would be interesting to see a fuzz measure graph of what your cheap adam monitors sound like in such a well treated room
+1
congrats on finishing the control room! looking forward to more production deconstructions 😍
Yes! I am excited to get back in to those videos!!
Another vote for darker at the front. I agree it'll make the screens a little easer to lock into!

thank you so much for sharing the whole process, your process ✨ so good to see and hear where patience, hard work and passion can lead!
thanks eric for this series and sharing your experience - your approach is absolutely amazing 🙂
stunning work man! Thank you for the updates!!
I think that dark gray would eliminate a little bit of distraction/visual clutter, and would effectively open up the space a bit. It wouldn’t be a massive difference, but worthwhile!
FInally I watched ALL of the episodes, it is crazy how much knowledge you're sharing with us, thank you so so much! (and greetings from Avid!)
Amazing stuff Eric, very jealous of your amazing control room. I have videos from when I was your sons age that are exactly the same so funny!
That looks like an incredibly comfortable and cool room to work in. Amazing.

Looks great and I bet it sounds fantastic! Congrats
the darker colour fabric is a good idea, go for it
My wife saw Grace recently at the Ryman.. She loved it.. Our neighbor is playing guitar with her..
She's a Beauty! One in a Million rooms. 😀
What an accomplishment! Go with the dark fabric & thanks for sharing the process.
thanks for sharing so much insight, I've also taken your approach to testing and listening, and now I have three giant tubes on my floor, these tubes have tubes in them, so big tube has six little tubes inside ;) oh and def go grey back wall.
I like the look of the tubes now that they’re covered, especially with the plywood wrap on every other one
@@evoltapyeh I'm into that, my tubes I have just needed a cloth wrap.
You’re nuts!!! Lol😂 thank you Eric for sharing your journey! ❤

S much of your energy is in that building already! -- Let the music flow 🎉🥳⭐️⭐️🍻🎶🎵☮️
What a huge difference. Also voting for black on the front, but defer to Grace. Thanks for the whole journey!
Awesome build! Tube traps for the win… congrats!!
Yes, go with the dark grey. And get some tape and pull out the dust cap on that speaker cone, it’s tweaking my OCD. “The illusion of a finished look”, my life’s philosophy.

Yes to the dark gray. Congrats on finishing the room (ish)!
The dark fabric would look great to break up the amount of beige that's already in the room.

21:23 "I don't know... I just... It's a sickness" this made me LOL, I completely relate Eric :D
I would do the dark fabric for the front wall, black even. Beautiful room!
Definitely do the grey at the front! 👌
Congratulations, Eric!
the dark grey would look awesome, you got my vote there eric
Well done the room looks amazing. Just wondering if you could build a fabric frame that covers the whole back wall instead of covering each tube individually ? Cheers

Congrats for the excellent job! Do you have a reverb analysis (RT60, 1/3 Oct). that would be great additional info about how the room turned out... and how it compares to mine ;)
+1 for the Grey. Will contrast nice with the wood frame around the rack space as well. Or you match the desktop colour to that sand colour and see how that feels.
Hi Eric. What you said between 42:00 and 44:00 is so interesting to me. I don´t think that i´m able to treat my space to an acceptable listening room in the near future for various reasons.

The headphones I use are nothing special. I use Audio Technica M50s. I am used to them now and I can get pretty far with those. The only thing that is still very difficult for me to figure out on headphones is the lowend. For some reason I still need to feel that in the room :)
I’m in California Where can I find these tubes ???
Here is a link to the Johns Manville dealer locator. That is how I found the place I purchase from in Vermont. There should be plenty of places in CA. www.jm.com/en/insulation-locator/
@@mrwev thank you , what are they called by the way?
I'd love to see waterfall and reverb response charts. From my own experience getting a flat response is only part of the battle. For EG: if your reverb time is too short at certain frequencies you might add to much reverb etc. Thoughts?
Hey Eric, looks fabulous as it is. The whole wall being black and dark grey could serve to close in the space. Anyway, whatever works for you is best
I like the idea of a darker colored fabric in the front of the room. Give it a try!
The dark material would also create a neat depth of field illusion, potentially making the room feel larger!
Dark grey fabric! Possibly also a big beige fabric over the back wall of tubes would look a lot cleaner, so it just looks like a solid surface
Dark Gray in front, YES... For sure. Thanks for asking. Amazing journey.
I’d love to see the entire back wall the darker color. That would ROCK!
Pin the new fabric to the existing panels....they would look like dark grey curtains?
Definitely go for the dark grey fabric
That's a cool room. I'm new to this series. Does anyone mind telling me more about those tubes? What are they made of? I'm assuming an absorption and diffuser in one? Does it help with the low end?
