SAFETY NOTICE:
I have done a variety of research and inquiries and there are several other UA-cam videos discussing the use of rockwool for the panels. I concluded that it's worth wearing protection whilst handling the insulation and ensuring that it is covered in the final design with the wood and fabric but that it is overall a neutral material and should be safe. There are a huge number of people who have used the same material and the studies comparing its safety to materials like fiberglass and asbestos show that it does not behave the same way as they do and is not a carcinogen. Ultimately I can't say definitively but from what I have found it seems safe. Making sure you have good room ventilation will always help anyway.
here are some helpful links:

www.insulationshop.co/rock_wo...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral...
Rockwool studies compared to fibreglass and asbestos
www.gearslutz.com/board/bass-...
Others have suggested looking into denim wool as insulation and or plastic foil to layer between the fabric and the insulation. I have not tried or fully researched these options but feel free to explore these if you wish.
Hopefully more environmentally friendly and eco friendly alternatives continue to develop in the future.
MATERIALS:
I got my wood from the local timber merchant and they have a great price so I would recommend looking around for that in your area.
here are some similar examples online:
Inner wood batons for frames
www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Treat...
and outer pine planks
www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-White...
Bed sheets
www.therange.co.uk/home-furni...
The you will need high quality screws, a screwdriver, some angle brackets for strength, a staple gun and staples and a mitre saw + an extra pair of hands goes a very long way

wow awesome thank you very much :)
Seriously.....You inspired me to do this by myself and cleared my vision of what to do and what not to....just a day back i was thinking and tired of asking people to help in this stuff....u made it easier THANKS A TON!
thanks for watching everyone and for 2k subs :) can we get this video to 5000 likes?

@BlackBrain45 thanks for letting me know! I have fixed it now. Hmm I wonder why it's so expensive over there. it's less than £5 or so for a large strip here. haha thank you, I made that one in this video here, ua-cam.com/video/885HAoEnYLY/v-deo.html hopefully I'll release it someday
Nice video! Made some my self for my home theater but it’s always inspirational to see what other people are doing🤩 overall I think your panels look very nice and might make some bass traps here ☺️
With the insulation free & open in the back you have created a long CANCER risk. Those particles will get in your lungs & irritate them forever as your body cannot break them down.... TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!, I KNOW PEOPLE WHO HANDLED THIS STUFF & DIED YOUNG FROM LUNG CANCER& THEY DID NOT SMOKE!!! THE INSULATION NEEDS TO BE CONTAINED EVERYWHERE!!!!
@@tgm2tgm137 That´s right TGM2.
True Sound Studios has a video on UA-cam making panels & he uses 2 layers of outdoor weed fabric front & back plus fabric in the front. This doesn't ruin the panels but it makes them safe. Remember that sound will be moving thru the panels EVERYDAY & any fiberglass floating around will get in your body. The safer the panel the better. I used 1/4 upholstery foam on the front & back & then the insulation is trapped completely. IT ALSO gets rid of the wrinkles the insulation can make under the fabric. It lays beautifully flat this way & looks so professional. I sold the ones I made & I am making new ones with fabric I like better. Remember, you can use different colors or patterns to make your studio more exciting. However, 10 panels of huge paisley swirls or plaid looks really dumb...,I have seen some panels the owner hates after a while so maybe just change colors or use a subtle pattern. Keep rocking,,,!!!
Make sure to wear gloves and a mask when working with Rockwool. Also, make sure to wrap both the front and the back in fabric so you don't get rockwool particles in your room for the long run. A good, cheap material to seal the back is garden landscaping mesh. You can buy a big roll of it and double it up to cover the back. For anyone wanting to try this, it doesn't have to look as handy and pro as it does in this video. It's just sticking insulation in your room and framing/wrapping it to protect your skin/lungs from the insulation fibers.
Agreed, I have listed some safety info in the description of the video too.
Landscaping mesh is not going to keep tiny particles in. I recommend Craft Felt, it is inexpensive and looks nice, and is much better at keeping dust in.
@@LuisCasstle Or just wrap a few layers of inexpensive kitchen foil around it the wool part and then you can cover it up with any fabric of your choice :)
@@LuisCasstle craft felt as a layer under a wrap like weed stopper? Or just craft felt then boom your done?
@@sebek0311 This is ineffective as you then have a non breathable slab
Man, that's absolutely beautiful! I love the natural wood look 😍

Great job ! The LEDs are really an added value to your absorbers
Absolutely! I love them. thanks
Love this set up!
I love this video!!! Building bass traps sounds tedious and overwhelming sometimes all the planning it takes, but you make it look simple! I love the different design you went with the wood on the sides, and heck you're even able to use it as a shelf! That's so cool! You gained another subscriber! XD
Glad you enjoyed it! I hope it goes well for you Miranda
Great vid and great choice on Monitors! KALI AUDIO Rules!!
You know it! I ahve really enjoyed using them so far.
Well done demo and advice, Putting a panel like those behind my speakers and in a cloud above tightened up the bass instantly. More to come in my studio.
Right on!

Good job man!
For everyone thinking about making acoustic panels, use plastic foil between the fabric and the absorption material, you really dont wanna inhale those particles. This will also allow to use more breathable mesh like fabrics which will improve the performance. And if you think that the plastic foil will ruin the acoustic performances try wrapping your speaker with plastic foil and youll realize that it only affects the really highs like 10-20khz which isnt the region you want to absorb anyway. Ive made hundreds of acoustic panels and this is just something I wanted to share! Take carr
thanks for sharing :)
I used an idea from another video and got that weed guard material you would put in your garden. Keeps the insulation from poking through the fabric nicely and it's still breathable enough fro effective absorbtion.
Is plastic foil the same as Cling wrap, like glad wrap? Do you put it both sides? like you mentioned I was told that sealing them with something that isn't breathable would cause reflections, but you've built 100's.
@@imnotjacob. Yeah you can use glad or cling wrap, I prefer industrial plastic foil like the ones shipping companies spin their packages in just because the sheets are bigger. I suggest you wrap the whole thing rather than a specific side 👍
Maybe a little late, but... There is also an issue that anyone rarely talks about. While I believe you can deal with particles even without plastic film - I'm not sure it will help against phenol and formaldehyde vapor (the binding component). Yes, it does vaporize over time. If only companies provided detailed information about concentration and migration rate into atmosphere. Would be a shame to die from cancer.
Holy crap man. The exposed ceiling joists is a brilliant Idea. I love that look and it seems super practical for hanging stuff. Could look even better by staining the exposed wood.
Yeeah man it;s been amazing to have them like that and I can't wait to get even more potential out of them.

I’ve use the Roxul insulation in several panels, ceilings and walls in a few studios (at first I was using fibreglass insulation - yuck!) and there are a couple of things I find that works very well. The first thing is that when you are cutting it, it’s worth it to buy an electric carving knife to cut it up with, if you don’t have one and the second thing is that if you wrap it with landscape fabric, you have something that will help stop the particles from escaping and you can even double it up if you’re worried about it, but it is acoustically transparent and cheap to buy. I wrap the insulation front and back. In my 4 decades of studio ownership in a few studios, these little notes have proven to be very worthwhile. Your studio will always need some kind of ventilation, so even if it is by opening a door and a window, the air in the room can get really stale. I can remember my early studio days, when you walked out of the studio and when you come back in, you are bombarded by moist, stale air and that familiar smell of recording tape. If there is anything offgassing in the room, so you want to exchange that air ASAP, yet having a built-in studio HVAC system is a luxury most small studios can’t afford.
So this is where you went. And I kept thinking, where did you disappear from in the mix. Great video.
ayy you found me :) great to have you here
Really nice panels they look super clean. How was rockwool as a material? I've heard it can be quite tough to work with and the fibres can make it a bit suffocating
It's a beautiful room. It must motivate you to work and create in it.
It really is! it's been so inspiring to work in daily :)

Looks fantastic. Can you post some REW measurements or something similar so we can see the freq response a the mix/listening position?
I currently don't have access to that tech but if I can in the future I will :)

Would it be a good idea to make a “portable” trifold style booth with this design? Something to help a bit with vocal recording
Pillow set up always wins.
Well done! I scanned through your video. Is there anywhere you specify what frequencies you were able to attenuate? Bass absorption is a huge issue and it seems every video about sound treatment fails to deal with bass absorption below 110Hz. If you fail to deal with this range, the mid and upper frequencies can become badly distorted.
Outro song?
Wow nice job, that's a lot cheaper than I expected. Did you use rockwool for the bass traps as well and if so how good is it at absorbing those lower frequencies?
Yes and yes they have been great :)
you should use light weight rockwool panel for acoustic treatment because high dense rockwool will reflect bass frequencies this will make your room sound dead in high frequencies
Get this man to 2k boys
hahaa aaayyy thank you :)

ayyye thank you, it's even more satisfying in person toooo. Will you try making some?
@@iambradarthur ye definitly i will try to do 4 panels for my room 😄
@@nuti19 awesome, go for it and let me know how it goes, I would love to hear/see :)
@@iambradarthur its a little problem because i dont know how to place panels in my room 😂
@@nuti19 hmm well it depends on what you are able to do with your wall? you could put them on stands if you can't put anything into the wall. or you can use hooks from he roof or in the wall
wow amazing job and really inspiring! whats the best way to mount a panel on a ceiling?
it really depends on your ceiling but there are several ways. I left the roof joists exposed so I could easily attach a panel. If you can find the roof joists then you can screw a piece of wood to them as an anchor and then you screw the panel to that piece of wood.
Super...
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey man, well done. So many vids with poor solutions for low end.
For a future build, I would LOVE to see how you go about building your own diffuser.
Thanks for this.
Thanks very much :) I am yet to put diffusers in place as I would want to measure the room accurately to determine which frequencies I need to treat most. Hopefully something I will get round to eventually
@@iambradarthur I'm studying that very thing at college right now. Tedious stuff.
Acoustic Foams are used for Echo & Acoustic Curtains are used for Soundproofing SoundProof-Curtains.me
Would it possible to get hands on the measurements/schematics of the bass traps? 🙏🙏
Looks really nice to me. One idea I had is that you could have built the absorption right into your walls, so you wouldn't need to build any (or many) panels. So, like at 2:00 in your video once you'd put the complete outer layer of rockwool. At that point you could have put the wood paneling on the places you want to be reflective and simply used batting and fabric for the places you want to be absorptive. Maybe that would not have worked well when it's really cold outside, not sure. -- Another problem with my idea is when you go to sell your house, having fabric sections instead of walls. -- But it would have saved a lot of work and given you a sleeker, more professional look. -- But great job!
Hey thanks very much :) Yeah I did think about just putting fabric over certain sections of the walls as It would definitely have saved time if I could find a way to do it simply but the more I developed the idea in my mind the more problems began to appear.
1. It would have been challenging to get a finish that I was happy with as the walls would have stuck out in certain sections where I covered the insulation with plywood or tongue and groove and I would have been restricted to using the wall studs for the joins.
2. by building the panels this way i can take them with me if I move studios or my setup in the future, I can also take them off and move them about if I need.
3. Like you mentioned, THE COLD!"!! haha- it was -23 degrees Celsius here this winter so the more thickness the better.
4. Sound proofing, Quite a lot of sound gets out and comes in already so any less material and it could start being a problem.
5. The AIR GAP - for some reason the waves seem more effectively absorbed when the absorbing material has an air gap between it and the wall (I'm not absolutely certain about this but it seems to hold true so far) especially as I didn't opt for the room within a room design that is popular.
6. The bass traps more or less needed to be built with those shapes and dimensions and so it wasn't too much more work to do the others along with the bass traps
I definitely think it's a viable option, I have seen setups like Colt Capperune where the wall is almost entirely fabric on top of acoustic foam. I just decided against it this time but I may well try in the future.
Thanks again
Kobi :)
@@iambradarthur very good! You clearly thought about it a lot and you did a great job. Your room looks really great. -- I just finished a similar project in my room, although my room was already finished with drywall by the prior owner of the house. I opted to use more freestanding/stackable panels, like gobos, so I can use them both for recording, and then move them into different positions for mixing. I also tried to make my panels have two sides, one purely absorptive and the other partially reflective (of the highs and upper mids, while still trapping lows - more for recording). I learned that by simply putting a piece of heavy brown paper in between the rockwool and the fabric, that side of the panel has a different character. It's cool that you can put your nose up to the panel, sing, and hear what it sounds like. I had a lot of fun making this stuff and I can tell you did too. -- Thanks for you detailed reply. I like learning from other people's projects.
Great vids Kobi, watched all of these when you first did them and I’ve come back now that I’m about to insulate my shed build! Quick question… do you know what the stud size is from your exterior wall (looks like you filled the gap/cavity with just rockwall… is it 50mm size?) as I was thinking of extending mine out (it’s only 45mm) to have celotex/Kingspan then rockwall, then plasterboard over… but wondered if this was overkill… I’m only using monitors and mic recording, no drums or live instrumentation… last question can you link the LED lights you got from Amazon.. as there’s about 5000 different sets on there I’m just curious as to which ones you purchased… thanks man, all the best, love the channel and music 🔥👌
hey thanks very much, I think the Studs were 90mm deep and 45mm wide and the rockwool was 100mm deep but it made for a nice tight fit by having the studs just slightly less deep than the rockwool. the rockwool was 600mm(60cm wide I think too and 1.2m tall) the LEDs I used are here www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B085LZXZTQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I hope that helps. thanks again
@@iambradarthur hey thanks man for the info, all the best to you! 👍😎
yes Bro a really nice job and the space makes its effect. but does it really make sense to do all this work if you then put the speakers near the wall where there is a window?
Thanks Riccardo. I did have concerns about the window but I new I could reposition my speakers and desk If i really needed to, now that I'm set up I have installed some thick blinds that cover the window for when I'm mixing and mastering, and have the speakers further away from the window wall on absorbing stands and overall the sound has been a nice balance to work with :)
If the cloth is on the outside hard to clean -- so I like your design even though uses more wood -- we are on a farm here so a lot of dust so great idea -- will 'steal' this -- thank you :)
awesome you're very welcome :)
wow wow
ayyy thanks :)
Thanks alot ♥️
Always welcome :)
@@iambradarthur Hey i noticed your Studio monitors.. How they sound ?? as compared to yamaha and presonus??
Cheap affordable whatever with an 1000$ workshop equipment. How a like it :)
haah fair enough you got me on that point, not everyone has a compound saw kicking about, I was lucky that my dad had one already. That being said you can get a good compound saw for about £1-200 and you will have it for a long time, if not you could hire one for much cheaper or find a friend/neighbour who can work with you using theirs. The same goes for a drill and beyond that you don't need much more equipment. You could do the same work with a hand saw too if you really wanted but it would just take longer.
good job
Thank you! Cheers!
Do you need to cover the back of the absorbers? I've heard a bunch of people freaking out about breathing Rockwool particles?
Also, the panels look dope. Nice vid!
yoo thanks very much :) You don't absolutely have to but it isn't too tricky to do and doesn't have to look pretty either as you won't see it so it's worth doing if you want. I did it for a few of them but not all of them. There are quite a few studies about the safety of rockwool and it seems neutral when it's not being cut or handled (it's a good idea to wear gloves and a mask when you're working with it) it's certainly not as dangerous as the previous versions of insulation and asbestos or fiberglass.

Nice work! How do your speakers measure in your room after treatment?
they have been really great to work with
If i do it without the wood at the outlines, it will work however?
What is the ideal density if I want to treat the acoustic of my studio? I only have 60 kg max in my country would that work?
Great video! One question, where did you get your rockwool from? I recently just made 6 panels and could only find the rockwool online from acoustic treatment websites. It was much more expensive than I originally thought.
Probably Home Depot or Lowe’s! I checked my local HD and they had it
I got it from a local Builder dealership directly
Nice
Thanks
cool place !!!
Thank you, yes its really great :)
@@iambradarthur ur very creative bro!
Hi! How about those kali audio lp6 maybe? Planning to buy the lp6 2nd wave.

You might want to test the room w REW, especially as sheets aren’t breathable material; they may be taking away from the rockwool’s absorption ability (sound is probably bouncing off the sheets more than you think, maybe!) tests will show what is really happening.
^^ This. Bed sheets, especially double layering them, is going to reflect some of the mids and highs. It's best to use a breathable fabric.
Hey Kobi, great video! I'm just wondering do you know if the Rockwool is harmful to your lungs if you have it exposed like this? I did the same thing with my studio but I'm a bit paranoid about so much of it open to the elements in one room and I can't find much info about it online. Cheers!
I have done a variety of research and inquiries and there are several other youtube videos discussing this topic. I concluded that it's worth wearing protection whilst handling it and ensuring that it is covered in the final design with the wood and fabric but that it is overall a neutral material and should be safe. There are a huge number of people who have used the same material and the studies comparing its safety to materials like fiberglass and asbestos show that it does not behave the same way as they do and is not a carcinogen. Ultimately I cant same definitively but from what i have found it seems safe. Making sure you have good room ventilation will always help anyway.
That's great! Thanks for taking the time to reply 👍
