The thing that I like about this guy is that he doesn't make things overly complicated and gets to the point. I've learned that when it comes to audio, you can go on forever with acoustics, gear etc. and it's easy to fall into the trap of over-obsessing about everything and never getting anything done. Just do the best you can and then get to making music! Great video :)
The bed put sideways would of worked to stop reverb or even just leaving it where it was would also of worked.
No bed in a bedroom studio? Guess I'll just sleep on the floor and suffer for my art haha
I did that for 5 solid years (Jan 2006 to late December 2010). Slept on the floor on a folding cushion, in my cramped home studio. A lot of musicians do what they need to in the meantime. It's part of the fun. And I wasn't destitute. I just had a lot of gear, and not a lot of space.
Sacrifices
Dragonetta 😂😂😂😂
chriscauldermusic japanese people do that during their entire life, voluntarily😂
TheChamp honestly, this was happened to me. I took out my bed to put my drum kit. I slept behind the drum where there has some space for me when I moved drum throne. It continued for 1 years 😂
I just recently discovered your channel, Joe. Your content is super useful. I've been playing music forever, but now trying to get better at the recording and production side of things. Thank you!
I've been searching for some straightforward and accurate advice on my home studio for the past two years and yours is the first channel that really delivered for me. Thank you soooo much!
Next Episode: How to Set Up a Kitchen Studio. Step 1: get rid of the refrigerator.
HAHA!
Get rid of mom?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
i swear man!!
Throw the girl friend out...lol:))
Use the oven as a reverb chamber, and stick bits of burnt toast on the walls to dampen sounds.
Have a bedroom? Today I show you how to turn it into a studio. Step 1, get rid of your bed. WTF?!
Haha. A lot of people set up their studios in a spare bedroom.

Youd think the bed would absorb alot of the sound like he was trying to do in the first place
The point is using an extra room.....geeze don’t be a douche
To be fair, the bed in the bedroom do reflect a small part and do actually mess up your mix a little
Thanks for the video Joe!
Of all the videos I’ve been watching to help my son get a recording studio going...this has been the best, clear cut, and helpful advice. Also, entertaining.
Than you.😇
Thank you for being honest and authentic. I hope to meet you on my next Nashville trip.
Great video, and it gives me inspiration to tackle the sound issues I face ahead. Like many, I've been banished to the dreaded basement, where not only do I face the same issues as this small room, but additional issues, such as washers and dryers, and the occasional furnace running (Ugh!). add to that, the fact that my shoestring budget is so tight, it doesn't even allow for the shoestring! I have my work cut out for me.
You are immensely talented my brother! I love your music! May all of your dreams come to you in abundance! Namaste
I created a 10x12 space in my basement using moving blankets from Harbor Freight and their foam type mats for floors. I did all the walls and ceiling with the moving blankets. Works perfectly and sounds great. Total cost about $50.00.
This is one thats going to hit home with so many. Can relate this BIG time. Been there with mattresses, duvets, cushions....Even now I use an old rug mounted onto a frame made from cheap, plastic clip together pipes (which works really well). Does it look pretty? No, just the opposite. But who's going to see it right? Another excellent video, only hope all your current extra videos bring you the followers and clients you deserve.
Aw. Thanks Steve. You're one of my favorites. 😊
Fantastic! I have never seen converting a bedroom demonstrated so well!
TRUST I AM SO SO SO THANKFUL FOR YOU THANK YOU FOR BEING ON HERE AND FOR SHARING YOUR WISDOM WINK
Your BG vocals on that track are so warm... "Stay Inspired"-Dewey Paul, Jr
Thanks Joe! The rolling “buffers” are a brilliant idea.
Joe its nice to watch you, because you will give times for all types of budget.
Thanks, Man. Fairly explanation for "people" of this often misunderstood by too much tech talk. Got a lot from your raw-wise point of view. Cheers
tip for everyone who has their desk against a wall: get it off the wall. the "best" position for a desk is when it's about 1/3 of the room's length away from the wall. also a room made for mixing should never sound dead, but balanced. get about 50% absorbtion, 50% diffusion
Why?
Yes, why ^
@@Vnuckmusic The reason why is that when you are directly against the wall, you are getting the reflections against that wall because you are so close to it. If you are about a third of the room away - I might argue that it's a little less than that - you'll be the optimal distance away from any reflective surfaces including the ones right in front of you.
Tony Mancini Thanks Tony, I appreciate the response! So even if your monitors are facing sways from the wall they will still bounce sound off of it from behind them?
@@Vnuckmusic Yes, the reflections are not coming directly from the speakers, but rather from other surfaces back to the wall behind the speakers and then back to your ears.
11:00 has the answer I think a lot of us newer people would probably use. Glad to hear it in the video. Especially since a LOT of us n00bs are still learning and figuring stuff out. Not the most glamorous solution. But seen it used in bigger studios to some extent. Very informative video though, thanks.
I dig this! Actor plus home studio fixes! Great vid
You can also use Era 5 plugins. They are really magical in order to remove the background sounds.
Yeah those plugins are great. I prefer to fix it in the room.
I went around my room just draping blankets and throws and sleeping bags over stuff and winter coats hung wherever I could. It looked like an explosion at a goodwill store and my wife was bemused but it did make a difference and zero cost. Not a permanent solution obviously.
Nice!
Great video. Many of us are in 11X10 rooms. I add heavy compression as a plug in on my vocal track so I can take a quick listen when I record it (not on the way in, but just on a track send) just to check for any weird reflections coming from the room, and if there are any, I change the direction of my body and the mic. Also, the compression makes it easier to judge if a performance is good without being distracted by volume changes. Also, which direction you are facing when you sing makes a massive difference in a small room and is the easiest thing to change. Face away from any close walls when singing or playing an instrument. i.e., down the long axis of the room and 2/3 of the way away from the wall you are facing. If you can, make sure you have something to diffuse the sound on the wall you are facing (i.e., bookshelf, sofa, furniture).
That's smart
I hung sheets up in a square and it's perfect. Nailed em to the celling. Now I can hotbox easier it's lit
Great stuff Joe!! im about to out some mics etc on my kit here in Nashville some great tips. great channel
So you have the bedroom studio, now I double dog dare you to do a full production song in there with two mics and all free software. Come on, Joe prove it can be done!
On it
@@HomeStudioCorner where can we hear end result?
Lmao😂. ‘Double dog dare’.. first time hearing that one 😂
Double dog dare? Haven’t heard that in a while
I can't believe how much difference that mobile acoustic panel made. Great job mate. Also my entire studio is 7' by 10'!!!!!!! and it's in a shed!!!!
Love that. 😊
I had a friend make some wall absorbers like used in large churches. I also put cork board on the wall in back of my monitor & speakers to absorb. I put some on the door because the doors that come with new houses are almost hollow. Thick window drapes are important also, it blocks out much of the light so my monitor gets no glare. Good video.
Thanks
Super Thanks Joe, After buying all the audio & tech equipment I was faced with the problem of setting up the actual space. You offer really good information on setting up "the room". My room looks exactly like your room but I have 2 windows. I will be making my own sound panels using towels. I'm hoping to be up and running b4 the end of the year.
Thanks for the great video!! do you have any drawings/plans available to upload for building those gobos?
Thanks joe I love your videos and find all of them extremely useful
Haha, I've been using my mattress! Class.
You mentioned that “smaller closets can pose other weird problems”... can you please expand on that? I’ve started turning my closet into a vocal booth and whenever I hear stuff like that I second guess it! Thanks in advance, and thanks for the very helpful video!👍🏼
Acoustic Insider, in their video “Is my room too small to get good sound?”, say that smaller rooms have “standing waves” in the low frequencies, making the sound feels unpleasant there.
Excellent Joe, ince again...and I.Love Your Music...Awesome Video Joe. Sharing...God Bless
Joe deserves more members, come on guys....
:)
Agreed. This man has taught me so much for free. Thank you Joe.
You're great at putting things in layman's terms. Thanks for the info.
Outstanding video, Joe. You really covered the basics well. I dig the mobile gobos. Thanks for making this!
👍 never knew that was a problem I had untill recently. Glad to hear your views and suggestions on the whole matter
loving this video right now. MORE like this man, its really helping a ton, im setting up in my room for a heavy metal demo.
Great video! I have a 10 by 10 room, I bought some studio foam, and put a thick curtain on the window. room sounds so much better with treatment. I remember how live it was originally. It's not perfect but I am satisfied with the quality of the recordings I'm getting.
👍
You need treatment in the bASS frequencies. Get some bass traps or some thick Rockwool stuff. Adding foam will make the room dead, which is great for recordings but is terrible for mixing stuff. Mixing in such a room may lead you to boosting high frequencies too much because the room eliminates the HF bouncing in your room
I like the idea of bass traps, but they aren't necessary. I get great mixes because I've learned my room. That to me is the most important thing. You can treat your room with the most expensive treatment available, but you can't get it perfect, it's a bedroom, and if you don't learn your room, all your money is wasted. I get great mixes. I also check my mixes on headphones and other media. Happy mixing!
Thats super true. A decent room, but a lot of practice with it makes great mixes. Its the same with speakers and headphones.
=)
This video was epic, bro! I learned a TON and will check out your other videos. Thanks for sharing!
I really want to learn music production.And you are a good tutor
Hey thanks for these vids. I watched this one to reinforce what i already knew, and i appreciate your hard work man. Subscribed. Ill be watching more no doubt. Good stuff
Sounds way better. I got a friend thats gonna help me build my new set up. What all is in those panels? Does the guy you know sell them to the public?
Awesome video, loved how you could hear the differences.
Practical guru.... I can always connect with you. Thanks a lot
Thank you! Very good and informative video for a newbie like me!
I also want to get rid of my bed from my bedroom !! But where will I sleep if I removed my bed !!??
Maybe build a murphy bed?
Joe Gilder Music Not a bad idea.
Thank you for your reply. Which glue do you use !?
The best mixers don't sleep :)
Superglue works fine, but I prefer to use Cytomic glue compressor so that I can glue myself to the ceiling while I'm gluing my mix together.
This is good for students especially in hostel
Thil siam I en ve thin a mi
Small room? I used to live in a studio that size. Aside from that, great video. Luckily you are blessed with massive rooms over there.
A bed offers good acoustic treatment so don't take it out! Rather than taking out the bed, keep it there, reposition it so that you can place your desk to where the smallest wall is. And then hang those black thingies!
Tadah! An actual bedroom-studio!
This video Definitely worth its weight in gold
You're a life saver! Thank you for this ♥️👍🏼
Sweet Joe! You be awesome!
My bedroom actually sounds really good and I don't have treatment. I think its because I have carpet, a big wood frame with a storage compartment filled with garbage bags of old clothes, two other wood desks and its an overall larger room. Obviously its not Ideal but I've done some recent recordings and Im really impressed!
As long as it sounds good, keep going!
Hey joe, what about using mattresses for acoustic absorption
Joe, I have a PreSonus 16.0.2 USB mixer and I was wondering if you could give some tips on how to properly set it up or if you could direct me to where I could get some 'beginner' information. I am a real 'newbie' at this digital stuff.
nice channel, nice work i wish you the best! you ARE gonna make it!
Awesome as usual! Thanks for sharing
Try a filled book shelf as first acoustic treatment.
Love your baritone!
lol dont really know what ur talking about...but it was fun to watch...ill just keep fiddling on with fl studio and my crappy old speakers, cheers !
This video has always been the reference I use when someone asks me about acoustic treatment. There's no point me making a video explaining it when this one does it so well. I can only assume the 25 thumbs down were from idiots who were too inaccurate to hit the like button. Great video
Because of a tip you gave me I am using a cover that goes across the bed of a truck. I hope that is okay. My bedroom has two desk, and the floor has carpet. I do have a mattress that can block sound. The cover from the truck is vinyl, so do I need wood according to your video. Thank you My bedroom is completely square, so I need to figure out how I can move that LARGE computer desk.
Nice idea, those movable sound-absorbing panels.
Awesome channel, really informative, thanks!
Great stuff, Joe! And I really liked your "Fighter" song. You consistently do good work, keep it up!
This should be called How to setup a studio in a small room. NOT How to setup a bedroom studio, that imply's it's also a functional bedroom, With a bed!
All recording software and hardware is available call me 8103323478
Correct!!! He simply showed how to turn a "small room" into a studio, not showed how to use a BEDROOM as a studio. I see him try to argue otherwise but... no.
A bedroom does not require a bed to still be called a bedroom...
@@officialWWM kind of does
JZG THE TIGER nope. I have a 4 bedroom house. I have one room used for storage but it's still a bedroom...
Great video Joe. Appreciate you
Not an experienced studio guy yet, but I read lots, watch many vids by both experienced guys, like Joe who has set up his personal studio 3,345 times (he moves a lot), and the inexperienced (thank you, guys like me) who try their best to assist. So...
What I've picked up is to (if u can) move your mixing desk to a point in the room 38% away from the wall where your desk is located (at least while mixing). I know, 38% sounds bizarre, but this is from an expert's article. I assume we all know how to use a tape measure...don't we? Helps to avoid reflections, null points (whatever they are: my memory ain't what it used to be), and other odd mixing artifacts in the room.
Joe's tip about the mirror is point on about reflections as well. So is his tall gobos that roll. That is an excellent point as they are more versatile.
Experienced guys also yap about bass traps a lot. Angled in the corners of the room, up to the ceiling even, appears to be a solid way to go. Definitely in the corners by the desk, and the back corners, if possible. Triangular shape may be favored by those in the know. And some treatment on the walls in the area directly behind your monitors is supposedly beneficial.
A lot of guys claim some treatment on the ceiling above where your mixing chair will be helps with those reflections off the hard ceiling surface as well.
And many say that the treatments kept a few inches from the wall/ceiling help dissipate those reflections, rather than planted directly against the hard surface.
And stop crying because Joe said to get rid of the bed. He's giving generalized tips. Adapt, for crying out loud. He can't cover every scenario for all of us. Leave the bed in the room, if need be. A Murphy bed is an excellent idea, as Joe said.
I have this plan to build my hobos from cushions saved from old couches, possibly a layer of carpet, backed by acoustic ceiling tiles, backed by rubberized underfoot padding purchased at Harbor Tools, or some combination of those. Experts may scoff, but I stopped caring about what other people think long ago (where have the years gone?). Most use certain types of fiberglass in their treatment, but I don't trust fiberglass at all. Got some on my skin as a kid. An absolute painful nightmare. I don't care what the experts say about its sound absorption. I'll function without it. Rock wool may be better, but I need to know more about its properties.
Joe's other points, like the sound heading down the longer length of the room, are solid, basic tenants of studio setup. (I almost sound like I know what I'm talking about).
That's all I can offer. Just trying to pass the info forward from guys more knowledgeable than I.
Great channel and content, Joe! Just rediscovered your channel and watched a bunch of your videos... subbed!
Congratulations on reaching 100K subscribers.
Subbed 👍
Wonderful channel Joe. Greetings all the way from the Borneo Island.
I would be having a ball and selling mad beats if I had this home studio. That's everything and all I am going to need.
If you have a wardrobe in your bedroom and a rack where you can hang clothes put your microphone on there and record with the sliding door closed. That’s what I do. Very isolated sound.
Your voice is incredible!
what material was used for that "bunch of insulation"?
the best insulation for this is going to be "rockwool"
You have a great personality
Brilliant video with some great tips! Cheers! 🔥🎵
Watched a few of ur vids now and learned a lil thing here and there, got a new sub☺👍
Thanks for the tips. But where do you sleep?
Hey Joe, much respect for what you do. Im a handy guy and have built my own traps before but was wondering what is the material inside of the treatment that you used in this video?
Thx for the inspiration. Good info what I can use. I create my music studio in the attic room. A rectangled room and the roof of the house are the angled long walls left and right of my studio desk. So I think it shouldn't echoing that much already.
I am curious how I will deal with it when the room starts to echo. And yeah good idea! I go create them myself instead to buy these expensive sound foams. These are ridiculous expensive. By making these myself I'm sure I'll be way more cheaper if it does the job perfectly for me.
In any case, it should not all cost too much.
Have fun! I'll be moving into an attic-shaped space in the next couple months, so I'll be documenting my process there.
This videos amazing thank you! Any advice on resources type of wood, fabrics etc for the acoustic walls you built?
Very informative! Thank-you kind sir for sharing your knowledge!
OMG this video helps a lot! I've been looking for this trick for my whole life😂 THANKYOU SO MUCH !!! By the way, where can I find the "wooden frame"? Is it DIY? Do you have any video about that?
Bruh your videos are great!!! Do you have a how to videos on how your friend made the rolling gobos?
I like this guy-clear helpfull advice!
Hey Joe.. could you let us know what's inside your panels.gobo s etc...
About to start building some for my new home studio.. chris Australia
Thanks big brother I Appreciate this information thank you very much.
Man. What can I say? I love your videos, I feel like you're my homie. Definitely a fan here, keep it up!
I'm definitely your homie. 😊 👊
Homieeeeeees 🙋🙋
Thanks, I have a small home studio at home and trying to earn extra money from it. Your idea's are really good. Thank you.
Wouldn’t it have been better to put the smaller 7 foot panels by the desk and the gobos further away so you could surround the area if needed? Also would fabric shower curtains help? You could then hang something from the ceiling and draw them around like around a hospital bed.
Hey Joe! Absolutely love your videos. Do you happen to know how these sound canceling boards were made (what material)? Thanks so much!
Thanks Joe, Good stuff matey.
He has an awesome voice
Awesome!! video thanks so much for sharing
Hey Joe...my bedroom is my bedroom...it's where I Sleep. How much "room" is needed? Make the room smaller...perhaps a closet? Keep your bed...decrease the space...if doing voice over we just need a very small space...if recording musicians I can see your point. But keep the bed...and deal with the rest...
