Whenever I watch these diy videos I always get jealous of your building style in America. mounting anything to the wall in europe required so much drilling in concrete and brick, and praying you're not drilling into a water line.
Exactly what I was looking for. Building out a space ( going to be an L shape so tricky) with one to two bulkheads ( structural so hello bass trapping) and this gives me an idea of what I will need to do. I am going to be running only a few electrical lines in and running exterior though, trying to cut down on bleed as I will have my drumkit in the space with a control area.
Thanks for a nice video! Question: Are there any guides and regulation that you shall follow when doing this kind of installations? How do you think and what rules do you follow? And then I more or less solely think about the acoustic considerations!
If the clients objectives were to isolate sound better, then we would have done another layer of 5/8ths drywall. However the client only wanted to focus on the acoustic properties of the rooms, and is familiar with recording in other studios live rooms with wood walls. The wood has different reflective properties compared to drywall/sheetrock. Thanks for watching!
I spent a lot of time studying this subject before my own project. Here's what I know: if you want to stop sound from going through a wall, an additional layer of Sheetrock will provide almost no improvement. You would, however, get a noticeable improvement if you apply a layer of Green Glue noise proofing compound between two layers of Sheetrock. Better yet, do the same on both sides of the wall. Even better, remove the existing Sheetrock and install resilient channel, then two layers of Sheetrock with Green Glue. Better still, remove the existing Sheetrock (on one side) and install new framing so the two sides are completely decoupled, then double layers of Sheetrock and Green Glue and both sides of the wall. One more thing: sound doesn't travel only through walls. It also travels through attics, duct work, floors and windows, so those might also need to be addressed. If you are interested in knowing more about my experience, feel free to send me a message. I'm happy to share what I've learned.
I put a old rug with some towels and a feather doona rolled up in it just standing up in a corner - only about 15cm round. I didnt think it would do much but when i re measured the room it clearly improved RT60 below 70Hz by 35% (bass reflection and roll off time) and room phase cancelation issues at 78Hz by around 3db. Not perferct, but any improvement is better than nothing.

worst thing to be jealous of, man. their homes are made of paper
for real
The running joke in Europe is our houses are made of cardboard which is simply not the case 😭
Looks nice! Question, dont the panels need airspace behind them also?
Amazing work 👌
Thank you!

Thanks for watching and have fun with your project!
Great job!
Thank you!
Thanks for a nice video!

I wish you worked in Alberta . Great work❤
I can work in Alberta! Please email or reach out through the contact page on my website to discuss
Did u guys fabric the soffits up top or did u paint them ?
We did fabric top and bottom. Thanks for watching!
@ would u come to ny to fabric my space?
Salut , Pourquoi laisser le haut et le bas vide sur les bass traps ? Une utilité ?
Merci ,
😉😎
What is the laser are you using?
how many 2x2's did you use mate?
How much cost this kind of job?
Question: why would you choose the labor intensive wood wall strips over another layer of Sheetrock?

u want air behind the absorbers. Not mounted directly on the wall like you do in the video.
whats stopping the fibers from the insulation from passing through the fabric and breathing it in?? i want to make one but this is my only concern.
That’s what the fabric is for. You can use acoustic grade fabric like guildford of maine or equivalent if you are concerned
You should Talk in the room before and after 😊
If it's less than 10cm thick then forget about any bass absorption at all.
I’d say less than 50 cm deep:)))

What are these US walls made of? German walls are made of stone....
Most walls in the US are covered with drywall or gypsum. Exterior walls are block usually.

For a guy who makes sound insulation your sound quality is bad. Just saying...
This channel was started with an iPhone 8 haha my newer videos sound and audio quality is better
Amateur and not valid assemblies defiant if all professional work or
true theory. Forget you saw this
Not very professional looking.Using standard 1x4 as trim makes your projects look DIY.
They are DIY in design and construction but probably better than the clients skills.
Give me a break. Do you know how much that would cost to do it professionally? He did a pretty good job for a much lower cost I'm sure.
