Very interesting video. Thank you for using our products. It is very refreshing hearing someone to present an actual cost of the project. All those extra pieces of foam, plexiglas, shipping costs etc. They all add up to the cost. most videos " forget" to mention that. As a practical matter, i think that simply doubling up on Producer's Choice acoustic blankets would've made it more efficient and saved you some work and money. Thank you again.
@@RanchaX I think the foam. I have one of their PVC booths which is awesome. I think I'm going to buy the blankets and then try the foam if that isn't enough.
@SingingSimplified hi. This smell is not a mildew. It could be that a moisture got into the blankets and this is what you feel. If you tumble dry it in a laundromat at high heat for about 15 minutes, the blankets will come out nice and fluffy. They will triple in thickness too.
@@Vocalboothtogo thanks for the suggestion. I did 20-min in an industrial dryer at the laundromat and it helped. It still needed some Febreeze as well. The smell was quite strong. To be honest, I didn't love having to take the time to drive out to a laundry mat, but I appreciate you responding.
this is is the most interesting build I have ever seen. Should've added wooden boards as walls and added more insulation, might've helped. Im going to try it.
Thanks! Yes, wood is better but wasn't an option for my build. Wood would've been way too heavy for the frame just using tape. Also, I can't use power tools in an apt so you're talking a LOT of hand sawing. Much luck with you project!
High density vinyl works great as soundproof material. Just a single sheet attached to the frame, followed by some drywall, then the moving blanket for sound diffusion.
@@SingingSimplified hi, good video. Note that most places that sell wood will cut the sheets to size. You can use a hand crank drill to make the holes without much noise. If you use chipboard then you don’t really need a frame as it can support its own weight. But if you want a frame with say 2x2 or so then you can also ask the wood shop to cut it to size. But if you had the sheets cut to size then cutting a few support beams will not make that much noise. All the best.
Check this out: I also bought myself a $100 Gazebo / Pergola (200cm x 200cm) and placed it in my basement on a noise absorbing rug. I left the outside "walls" off and placed moving blankets on all five sides. Got myself a 10M led strip for the inside and some bass traps in the corners and foam on the inside off the blankets. Super easy set-up for recording with my D18 and singing at the same time straight into my iPhone using the Roland Go Pro mix. Call me cheap but I just love my little "tent" inside my basement. Nice and cozy...
Wish this was a step by step tutorial. I would follow it. Gonna have to guess at creating my own now. But thanks anyway for the video. I will follow along as much as I can to this example booth. Great video!
This is super creative I want to try building one but I wish I could see like more examples of how quiet it is. Like maybe with db levels and even outside just the bedroom vs inside. I've got roommates and am looking for something to keep them happy when I record. Thanks for this though!
Hello!! Thank you so much for this build video. I was dreading drywall, power tools, and all the like, but to hear the "your neighbors probably can't hear you" results from what you used and how you built it???? Incredible!!! I'm taping my insulation sheets together today. I know this is a few years later, but may I ask how you did the duct fan? I see some like carpet(?) lining the tube where you've got it fed into the booth?? I got a super neat duct fan from the same brand you said, and this one comes built with 2" sound-insulation foam on the inside: "TerraBloom 6" Silenced EC Inline Duct Fan, ECMF-150-S, 288 CFM, 36W, ETL, HVI and Energy Star Listed" (Amazon)
I wish he'd done A/B inside/out with actual singing or using a db meter. That said... impressive and giving me some ideas, especially that sheet insulation...
@@SingingSimplified will it at least dampen the noise 😭 I don’t hear them when I’m in my closet. I just need the birds to not be any more than -30 in my recording
@@ClipzCollective it’s hard to know, but if it’s a little quieter in your closet, I can only assume it will be a little quieter in the booth. How much I have no idea. Too many factors involved
Thanks for sharing this! Would love to have heard what it is like to record inside the booth--how the acoustics are and if there's noise from your downstairs neighbors, for example, does that get picked up in your vocal recordings.
Wow, man, It's definitely a great job! I think I will use something of that later! Haha, I also made a lot of fun listenning for a really good result in the end!
Es mejorable. Necesita paneles acústicos dentro para absorver el sonido. Trampas para redondear las esquinas. Laberinto de tuberías para la ventilación. Puerta de fácil maniobra. El telgopor no vaaa a no ser que quieras aislar temperatura. La goma eva tampoco, es goma, o sea... Las frazadas casi que no, se puede usar el fieltro que se usaba (?) para aislar el ruido en los chasis de automóviles. Que equivale a 5 frazadas por capa a 20% del valor de cada frazada de esas (usaría doble capa de 2cm de espesor). Y recubrir todo con planchas de cartón corrugado grueso (gran e incomprendido aislante), como los de las cajas de electrodomésticos grandes. Ah, y olvidate de la ventana, es un error. Igual quedó buenísimo.
Yea it's very cool. The main thing is that the interior blankets didn't like staying up all the time because of the tape. I'd run string or hooks or something through them so you don't have to keep re-taping them.
Great video, thanks for sharing! I built a very similar PVC pipe frame, with hanging and clipping moving blankets to the outside. So far, great for deadening the sound, but I'd really like to try your methods of adding some soundproofing. Question on the gym flooring - it looks like it comes in 24x24 in. panels. Since my booth (and yours, from what I can tell), include some dimensions that aren't multiples of 24 inches - how did you handle any overhang? Cut the panels down? Fold them around the corners? If you cut them, how hard are they to cut? Thanks again!
ok ok this is the closest booth to what i am looking to create, only thing that baffles me is the price. it cost you $1000? what was the most expensive thing you bought? was it the carpet lining? i am looking for a soundproof recording booth that dampens the noise going in and out and that is portable, for relocation purposes. this booth seems to be the best booth i have seen that can do that, only thing is that $1000 lol my other plan was going all out and using 2x4's plywood and rockwool in the walls of the booth, then lining the inside of the booth with a thick sheet to keep the fibers of the rockwool behind the sheet and not inhale them. i expect my build to be maybe over 500 maybe even $800 but i have not calculated cost yet. could i get away with not buying the carpet liner? how is the overall recording sound? does it sound boxy? that's another issue i don't want to run into
@@SingingSimplified oh ok. Well i think i will copy your booth 😁 i don't care if mine looks good or not, so i think i will cut out the carpet lining and plexiglass. Instead i will run some led lights and mount them to the pvc pipes, i don't plan on spending alot of time in there at once. I'll improvise as i go 😁 or if for some reason it fails, i will just copy it to the T. I just want to get in there and start recording a.s.a.p. I'll eventually make it look nicer so it's pleasing to the eye
@@SingingSimplified here's a question. I got to thinking and i wanted to get your input on this. What if i was to use the board you used on the outside walls, on the inside of the booth, and fill the inside gap between the walls with blankets or something. You think it would still dampen the sound, or the the gym flooring is the way to go? 🤔 I'm still using the sherpa blankets on top of that
@@johndoe7109 You need something soft and cushy on the inside to make the vocal booth a dead room. But beyond that it's all experimentation. Your idea might work if you keep the interior material a sound dampening material. Good luck!
Would a booth like this prevent outside noise within my house from affecting my ASMR videos? My problem is I live in a noisy house with a few TVs blaring and people talking loudly and it makes it almost impossible to record my videos during the day where I am not having to do a ton of editing after. Forcing me to record late at nite when everyone is sleeping. But sometimes I am tired and want to sleep too and would like to record during the day on my days off leaving my evenings open to relax or do other things. Please let me know how the booth works for getting rid of noises outside of the booth.
Buen to the OH! Look at you go. Not bad at all for a music nerd turned poly-carpenter! :) Is the sound inside pleasant and muse building? Is it recording worthy? Please do a final vocal in it some time and let me hear the space. As a footnote, for those of you that are doing one of these for recording AND vocal practicing, you'll have more acoustic options if you build it WithOUT parallel walls. It will make a nice guitar room for overdubs and you'll keep those squirrely harmonics in check with ease. Five Stars, my talented friend.
Yep, it's a very "dead" booth since the walls are sherpa blankets, the floor is 2 levels of shag carpet, and the door is that heavy duty sound blanket. I'll do a recording demo soon!
You're killing me. It's DUCT tape for duct work. Not DUCK tape! Lol. 😂😂😂 I'm a professional carpenter also, besides my vocal work so I built a state of the art booth out of PVC with moving blankets baffled on the inside and outside of the frame with a dead air space in between them. Not quite soundproof but very quiet .But I wasn't crazy about the vocal recordings I was getting. Oh I also hung an additional monitor in my booth so I have a fully functional DAW in my booth so I didn't need a window to see my main desk. As far as air in it I ran a duct into it via the floor which my ac and heat both come out of . I put a cover on it that allows me to damper it to just the right temp. But as far as quality it's ok . I have all high end gear and was getting great vocal recordings but it was the same issue you had where my neighbors could hear me when they were sitting outside . So I ended up opening my heavy curtain door on my booth and pulled the top off and hung a cloud above it. There's to much sound pressure in these little booths to get a great recording. No professional studio uses a vocal booth. The sound needs space you just don't want it to be reflected back to the mic. So I researched it and built some nice rock wool sound panels to hang around the room . Much better vocal recordings now. I subbed and liked . Nice work my friend.
Lol yes I was joking, but also playing off of the fact that there is a popular brand of duct tape called duck tape and therefore a gorilla brand of tape would certainly be stronger than a duck .;) www.amazon.com/Original-Strength-Duck-Silver-394475/dp/B0000DH4ME/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3L7OURDG04YCF&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.PmAAYtb0HJR7AO9RIH1HnWs2a8hyxMah3XwX4fBRsD414OiaAERp8Pj6HdaTtGaUmj5JDF8Q6fwNps43Ma8K01EMt-yUU3Xxy6TfFWkFToVe5UACRZVInoNvjykpVoMVbrxt_sYicLELTv_5tHKWU4EgVNQkpHH2MaN_NrkVm6AYEq8Cs5JYDTh9YJ0yRjezqWrjAbpPPpSB6XqCeEQCn6P--KkT6kYTxfvt-Wt05iM.BpM9YO51_DjUkQ1h0ccf6uCtiwq4CE69fM7lSJGW1xg&dib_tag=se&keywords=duck%2Btape&qid=1715613230&sprefix=duck%2Btape%2Caps%2C91&sr=8-5&th=1
@@SingingSimplified thank you so much I have one more question about your vocal booth build how many orders of the 3 pack pvc pipes did you buy from amazon?
Since it's not advertised as a soundproofing product, I'm really curious what made you decide to use the gym flooring instead of something that's made for your intended purpose. Are you happy with the decision you made?
@@SingingSimplified Do you mean when you used it as flooring, you discovered it reduced noise from below your floor although noise reduction wasn't your expectation at that point, and that's why you later used it for your booth? It just seems too good to be true. You seem quite honest and intelligent, so I apologize for my skepticism. It's just that I need to make the right choice, and I'm wondering why the manufacturer doesn't even tout it as an effective noise reduction product.
@@thenormanreport7731 Correct. It worked surprisingly well. I'm no expert, it was all experimentation as I went along. You can probably do better I'm sure! It was just my at home COVID experiment with no ability to use power tools. Good luck!
A little bit, but if the neighbor noise is in the room it'll still "bleed" a bit into the booth. It'll just be quieter. If you're recording voiceovers, look into using a noise gate.
I'm trying to add up to see how this came out to almost $1000. It seems like I could make something like this for around 250-350$. I'm not sure, though... At this point I really have to do something like this soon or vocals in my extremely noise apartment complex is going to be essentially impossible.
My calculations were accurate. It can def be done cheaper, but it wouldn't have the same soundproofing capabilities. It's all about what you're comfortable spending. Much luck!
@@SingingSimplified Welp, I wish I had the cash at this point. I'm a PhD student on a monthly stipend...not much to work with :( That said, it's crippling my ability to attempt any vocal recordings on my tracks right now given my current apartment situation. So, I need to at least do some level of sound dampening. At least enough that I can reduce the decibel volume enough that neighbors won't hear and I can't hear every single tiny anomaly outside.
love your course.. Udemy.. your no 1 was great .. no 2.. I found a bit to much talk but still very nice.. I love you imperial MK 2 have the same one. good look for your you tube channel.
Bro creativity is very fun, but you just threw away a thousand dollars. The volume difference is too weak, although you gave us lots of ideas, at the same time. Bravo
Hi, I’m a representative of Best Booths Annual, and I’m sorry, but we’ve never actually heard of you. We will be sending you a lawsuit for $20000000000000 (no commas) for false representation. But we definitely like your booth and your video, and thank you for the service you’ve provided here.
This is why apartments are a crime against humanity lol we lost countless world-class singers and drummers because of Apartments lol, just the effort you need to overcome the fact you live in an apartment lol, this isn't that great though, there's a slight decibel level drop but it's still loud enough that your neighbours will get upset if you decide to practice at night lol Probably the floor, the air duct and plexiglass are the weakpoints

Hi, thanks for making this. Did you include the Styrofoam for structural support? Since you mentioned it didn't help the sound dampening
The foam was to have an actual wall/structure to glue the gym flooring to.

That's very difficult to do and quite expensive. "Whisper Rooms" are an example of this.
@@SingingSimplified thank you 🙏🏼
that's awesome :D you could call this video: how to *basically* make a soundproof vocal booth
Holy shit! When did they resurrect Bon Scott?
Great video! this will help me when I build my own vocal booth!
The video is really well done!
very well described. thank you so much.
what if we use double styrofoam as a wall and made empty space (1-2 cm) between them
Could work. Don't know for sure.
well done.
Ever since i moved out of my parents into this apartment i havent been able to record my metal vocals bc of my neibors
very helpful!
Very useful video. But you went through all that effort, only to leave us with no comparison of the actual sound before and after!
good job !
why is the gorilla tape not visible or did you use white tape?
In the video, you’ll see it shows that I purchased white, gorilla tape on Amazon ;)
Very helpful
Wow this was cool!!
Silly question 🙋♂️
It also helps you not hear your noisy neighbors too right?
A little bit, but if the neighbor noise is in the room it'll still "bleed" a bit into the booth. It'll just be quieter. If you're recording voiceovers, look into using a noise gate.
I feel like I get this amount of noise reduction recording in my walk in closet with blankets hanging up
I'm trying to add up to see how this came out to almost $1000. It seems like I could make something like this for around 250-350$. I'm not sure, though...
At this point I really have to do something like this soon or vocals in my extremely noise apartment complex is going to be essentially impossible.
My calculations were accurate. It can def be done cheaper, but it wouldn't have the same soundproofing capabilities. It's all about what you're comfortable spending. Much luck!
@@SingingSimplified Welp, I wish I had the cash at this point. I'm a PhD student on a monthly stipend...not much to work with :( That said, it's crippling my ability to attempt any vocal recordings on my tracks right now given my current apartment situation. So, I need to at least do some level of sound dampening. At least enough that I can reduce the decibel volume enough that neighbors won't hear and I can't hear every single tiny anomaly outside.
WESOE JOB!!!
love your course.. Udemy.. your no 1 was great .. no 2.. I found a bit to much talk but still very nice.. I love you imperial MK 2 have the same one. good look for your you tube channel.
Bro creativity is very fun, but you just threw away a thousand dollars. The volume difference is too weak, although you gave us lots of ideas, at the same time. Bravo
I’m to dumb to manage all this.
I had the same thought. I could see me laying in a pile of pvc and moving blankets having a meltdown!
You're a multi-millionaire, you have more than 30k students in Udemy! Wow!
Hi, I’m a representative of Best Booths Annual, and I’m sorry, but we’ve never actually heard of you. We will be sending you a lawsuit for $20000000000000 (no commas) for false representation. But we definitely like your booth and your video, and thank you for the service you’ve provided here.
This is why apartments are a crime against humanity lol we lost countless world-class singers and drummers because of Apartments lol, just the effort you need to overcome the fact you live in an apartment lol, this isn't that great though, there's a slight decibel level drop but it's still loud enough that your neighbours will get upset if you decide to practice at night lol
Probably the floor, the air duct and plexiglass are the weakpoints
lmfao
I'm listening to this driving what he said $5,500 I almost crashed
kewwwwwwl
;D cool
i dont care my neighbors can hear my voice or not, but i dont want hear their sound from my room, my neighbors is verry noisy.
