such a good guy. god bless u
Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers.
Great video, I make acoustic panels for just jamming out to edm and trance tunes and I appreciate all the info here! Thanks 😊
Happy to help!
gotta give props to a video about sound treatment that sounds good. u wouldn't believe the amount of videos i've seen from audio guys that don't know how to de ess or limit etc lol
Agreed. Good audio is very important for all videos, but especially if you're a person in the industry as an engineer!
Hi, many thanks for your work! Great stuff. I am wondering why not to fill airgaps with more rockwhool, if space and budget is no constraint. Thanks!
Hey hey. Thanks for watching and commenting. I think you missed a critical part of the video where I said this, "If space and money are no object I would always opt to fill the air space with more porous absorption." It's later on in the video, so make sure you watch the whole thing. Also the section about sealing the air space.
Note that when you do choose to fill the air space with more absorption, you must be careful about the density of the material. It will perform better for you if you use layers of material with multiple densities (graduated density). Some people use 40-60 kg/m3 material as a front layer (something like OC 703 or Rockwool Cavityrock) then lower density material in the range of 20-32 kg/m3 behind it (like OC Pink or Rockwool Comfortbatt). It all depends on your depth!
Make sure you do not use just the same density of rock wool for the whole absorber assembly, especially when the density is over 32 kg/m3 and the depth is 12" or more.
I have two 5.5 inch thick cloud panels, may I know should I leave the air gap as low as possible or not more than 4 inch air gap? My ceiling is 10ft height
You have a fair bit of ceiling space to work with. You'll want to test that for sure, and yes you'll definitely want to air gap your panels from the boundary so that they work better. Typically you'll want to angle the cloud toward the back of your room slightly so use a suspension system that allows for adjustment. You could start with an air gap equal to the thickness of your absorber.
Hi. For those of us with a smaller room Is there a volume level we should be listing to our music to minimise reflection of sound. Thanks..
Hey hey. In general, you should be mixing at the ideal volume level for where your psychoacoustic perception of sound is as balanced as possible. IE where the Equal Loudness Contours are as flat as possible. For a small room, this could be as low as 73 db SPL-C weighted. If you want to minimize reflections in a small room, treat your room or use nearfield monitors, or both; don't try and achieve that with volume. If you mix too quietly, you'll dramatically overdo the bass in your mix. That's because you're not very sensitive to bass frequencies at low levels. You'll hear much less bass than there actually is, and then turn it up too high in your mix, which will equal a muddy mix that won't translate.
To learn how to take the first steps in treating your room, watch this: ua-cam.com/video/ECazGzutkV8/v-deo.html. Cheers!
30 hz? with a small bass trap like that? you must be kidding me.
