    *CAUTIOUN:* Hello Everyone! SOME have reported that the command strips don't work as well for them. They HAVE Worked for me successfully over three moves including my most recent one 5 months ago. THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES which I have made videos on like T-Pins, and Wall-Less I just want to let you know here. *ALSO* The Audio in the begging was suppose to show that I need acoustic foam for the room due to the echo. I have seen a few comments, and wanted to clarify! Are you using acoustic foam? let me know! Want to know WHERE to install acoustic foam? Check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/lJuiRYfKQ5c/v-deo.html

    Hey Andrew! Very helpful stuff. I used to record in a bedroom full of stuff, and never noticed an echo. Since getting my own studio room, there has been a LOT of reverb... Since it essentially has nothing in it except a TV and a computer. I bought 48 pieces of acoustic foam in blue and black and managed to get them stuck with duct tape. They still fall down once in a while, so I might need to order some of those Command strips you mentioned and see how it goes! One wall seems sufficient, but I think I'll continue on and do the background wall just for a little more zip in future facecam videos. Thanks for the video. Your production value is awesome! Keep it up.

    • @AndrewK
      @AndrewK  2 роки тому +3

      Thank you so much for the kind words! I recommend the strips or T-pins. Do keep in mind some have said their foam falls down in my comments while others say it's been up like mine for months/years. I hope you hear a difference, but most importantly keep creating 😄

    P.S. I didn't knew you did film school - I know 2 youtubers which did and it really shows! (I'm kinda yeallous, your vlogs look better then the best I could ever do on my own 😉)

    Been trying to put together an audio studio piece by piece on a budget. Today I got lucky. I was at a thrift store for a clothing sale and found a huge pile of acoustic tiles, 12" x 12" x 2." They were priced at 25 for a dollar. Not joking. I bought 500 which is enough to cover all the bare walls and ceiling in my spare room. I even had enough to make a foam shade for the window so I don't get sound bouncing off the glass. I just needed to figure out how to mount them and this video just told me. Thanks for posting! Now all I need is 100 sq feet of carpet and I will have no hard surfaces in my office except the desk

    I ordered flat beveled acoustic foam panels to block my neighbors night chats since their chats happen on the same wall as my bed. I'm wondering how the panels are for dust and cleaning. Also, can they be covered with a light fabric?

    I use RockWool covered in second-hand bed sheets. Makes my recording space nice and "dead." My voice is very deep and I find RockWool to be more effective in attenuating reverb in my booth.

      It can depend on the space you’re trying to treat to be honest. If you get more coverage that way do it. Can be a bit of both if that makes sense.

    Do you have any plans to treat your ceiling at all? I have found a lot of people tend to forget the ceiling, and that can reflect sound in low-ceilinged spaces. We don't soundproof because we record in a basement space that's so low that it's almost impossible to fix and keep our green screen wall intact. I need to upgrade our recording equipment, but our furnace is literally feet away from where we film, so that hum will be there anyway, LOL.

      I do want to treat my ceiling, just don't have a way to currently get up there XD I did not know you filmed in your basement, but if it's on a lower level I get that. Corner pieces might help with the sound bouncing off though, also a green screen carpet can absorb sound and give more opportunities :-)

      Audacity is free and I would recommend looking into that, however for streaming might not be possible. If using obs there are some virtual options. For the ceiling depends on the space and how you like the sound after installing foam.

The wall alongside the door is connected to my sister's room, the door connects to a small hallway which leads to the entrance of the families rooms, thats why I think that whole wall may just be good enough, but if it would be better to place them around the other walls too then I will

    • @AndrewK
      @AndrewK  Рік тому

      hey there passive. As I mention in the video it's not the same thing as sound proofing. It will help a bit, but not enough to eliminate it. You might be better off with sound blankets, or moving bookshelves on the wall your family is. Really it's to help with echo, sound panels, or moving blankets/ sound blankets can help too. Sorry just want to make sure you know.
