Nice video, those bass traps would fit my small room perfectly. But what's the deal with people that say you need space behind the traps? Would that make the room less boomy?
Thanks! Air gaps behind absorbent material is a bit more effective it would seem. But if you're in a small room, nothing's going to be perfect anyway. So I Wouldn't sweat it. Just do what you can with the budget you have, and get back to making music ;)
Among all the videos I saw on UA-cam about making absorbent panels ... no one has made or shared very strong carbon absorbing panels ... I mean exactly the same tuned absorbent panels with a membrane from the Dennis Field acoustic channel ...
@@wallofsoundandmusic345 insulation with Flow resistivity of 2500 is optimal, he is using 10000. 2500 will perform around 105% better than 10000. 426mm deep triangles coming from 2ft x 2ft squares
If you want it to absorb high frequencies too, then it should be acoustically transparent (you can breath easily through it). If you don't care about high frequencies, it can be any fabric you want! I used muslin for these absorbers because it's cheap. Dyed burlap for the front cover panels because my friend wanted funky colors, and it's relatively cheap. Both of which are acoustically transparent
Good day sir, i have a question. Data that i have says, that there must be air space between wall and bass trap. Maybe that about thick and flat rectangular bass traps. I am very confused about acoustic treatment, i have found no universalized and simple information step by step... Did you used any calculators to count needed thickness of rockwool? And room modes, you calculated them?
Thanks Paul! This was a very unscientific project. I'm sure an air gap would help if we'd had more space. but that would leave way less room for insulation. So I gave it my best guess without purchasing room analyzing equipment. Did this for my friend's music room for cheap haha
That stuff you used only adequate in the midrange and higher frequencies. I'm sure your "acoustic treatment" is perfect for against comb filtering above lets say 200-250Hz but it does absolutely nothing with much lower frequencies. If I'm wrong you should be able to prove it with measurement data. Did it improve the boominess in the lowest frequency range? I highly doubt. After all it is your room I'm just frustrated by the fact that so many people believe this nonsense and some of them even promoting it by making videos like this. Cheers
I'm not promoting anything, simply documenting my diy project. And I don't care to 'prove' anything as I'm not investing the money in measurement equipment. Simply soaking up whatever acoustic energy I can with the limited time and money I have available. Cheers
Hey buddy as you clearly know so much I thought I'd go check out your useful DIY build video instead. Oh wait, there isn't one. You know the big giveaway that you're just repeating crap you've read elsewhere to try and sound smart? You wouldn't be watching a video on making bass traps if you already knew your stuff. 3/10, must try harder ;) And thanks to @Mixdown Music for a very useful video.
2 years later, still the best method for a beginner
🙏🙏
brilliant, been trawling youtube for a good cheap, slick looking and light semi modular bass trap build and I found it.
btw the music is bangin
Thanks, I basically took all the things I liked from every other diy build and combined them into these!
I love Bass Music So Much . Thanks for the tut mate
I'm too dumb to do any woodworking, I like the cardboard idea! Nice and light too, if I need to take them anywhere.
Cardboard takes a bit of patience too, with the glue. Good luck!! Haha
Awesome dume! You inspired me! Gonna do same way as you!
What was the measurements of the cardboard panels and for the tops and bottoms of them as well?
Nice video! If you had to attach this to a wall, how would you do it?
this music is so... how can i say this nicely... it's so...

HARD AF MY G DAAAAAAAAAAMN
Genial , respect !
Hello, Thanks for the video ! I loved it! Your link for the measurements is not available anymore, can you put it again ?
Many thanks 🙏🏾

Good idea to use cardboard. What about the painels? Did you use cardboard, too?
how much did these end up weighing?
Please sir if i sleep i the place where i put my bass traps i should cover them with what?!
great video, aweful sound lol. can you please tell me what the dimensions of these triangles are?
Sorry a few months late, I can email a basic sketch if you like
@@Mixdownmusicrecording would love to get that! send if possible epoximisemusic@gmail.com Please and thank you!
@@Mixdownmusicrecording sendddddddddddddddddd

Had to watch with the audio muted :/
So sorry
你好 你能把尺寸发给我参考吗

Genius
🙏🙏
can i use rockwool only for the front layer instead of filling the whole area?
So, use less rockwool? You'd get less absorption, I'd imagine
@@Mixdownmusicrecording Thanks for your Reply
Thanks for sharing, could you show the measurements before and after the room treatment?
No acoustic measurements unfortunately!
The measurements would show very little difference (if any at all) because low frequencies go through that insulation like they were not even there.
@@elduderino1329 what should you use then?

👌
Can I still get the information about the drawing? That's a really good idea :)
Which is better wool rock sonorock or safe n sound?
Couldn't tell you, I've only used Safe n Sound
What type of fabric should we use to wrap it?
bed sheets will be good

@@Mixdownmusicrecording Thank You ..
Fun watching it 2x speed
The material inside what is ? Which density ?
Rockwool safe-n-sound, not sure the density
The best on this topic
Wow thanks! I watched basically every other video out there, and took all the things I liked to make these
Wow you are stupid.
looks fine , but in real life could you hear any difference ?
Good day sir, i have a question. Data that i have says, that there must be air space between wall and bass trap.

프레임 쉽게 만드네..
Can you you please email me with the dimensions on these? I like your build and wanna make a pair today
Sorry I'm a few months behind, but I have some rough sketches with basic measurements. What's your email?

Made by the cardboard isn't a bad idea. Lighter and dustless.
Thanks, so far it's worked well. In a flood though, they're ruined lol
Mixdown Music Ohh No thats bad!
Where do you get the absorbing material?
You can get it at Lowe's and Home Depot. "Roxul Safe n Sound"
I think this music makes many viewers skip the video... :-) Really bad. Lol. Great build though! 👍
