Love the booth build, though you kept me wondering about ventilation until the end. Calli being there was a bonus. You two working together always brightens my day.
Nate is my spirit animal: "Do I know what I'm doing? No. Is it gonna work? Uhhhh. Probably." But also, I love the almost sibling dynamic between Nate and Calli. Super friendly
I recently discovered your channel Nate. I researched and decided to check out your stuff on TKOR channel. Really, really enjoyed your presentation style and your partnership with Callie. I am scratching my head wandering why on earth they’d discontinue a winning format. You and Callie make a great partnership. I am now enjoying Nate of the internet. I’m a fan and I’ve subscribed. Loved the Q&A and love each of your projects. Just keep doing what you doing and you’ll soon be The King Of Experiment Universe!
Nate. From someone who used to work In a recording studio I have to say I like what you made. One thing that I would suggest is making sure that any doors near the booth don't rattle, it'll come through on the recording. 😀👍
I love your solo stuff so much more than your TKOR work. It feels more free and natural and you seem to work on things you enjoy. Keep up the good work!
I hate painting walls Soo much. If only you could paint all walls this way, 😂. Great build! Also, didn't know you did a podcast too! Just subscribed, was also excited to see that Calli is on it too!
The only thing I would suggest to potentially improve the recording isolation booth, would be if instead of using those foam tiles, which would be a bit "busy" and "unsightly" for a video podcast, you used either some sort of heavier "tapestries" to absorb standing sound waves, or even if you hung sheets of cotton/nylon batting for stuffing blankets, and just replaced the cotton/nylon batting with the lights behind the batting for an indirect light source/glowing effect. I also wonder if a more direct, singular source of light, like all of the light coming from the ceiling, or at least above the chair level, would make it easier to see, since we're used to having a single light source (the sun) in the sky, and the majority of reading lamps have a single bulb, and not an array of light sources....Also, an exterior door would be better insulated both thermally and acoustically. The door used looked more like an interior door, for a bathroom, or a closet....But it depends on how insulated you need your booth to be acoustically insulated....You may want to consider adding a second fan, near the top, blowing outwards to better control temperature, especially for longer recording sessions, with body heat, and equipment heat building up. just some things to consider...Maybe a portable upright AC unit for the room, even if it's on it's lowest (slowest fan) setting, it shouldn't have a problem with maintaining the temperature in that 12 square foot space...And you could always baffle the output air stream from the AC unit to eliminate any noise, with the compressor assembly outside the booth....
So, um, now that your project is finished, I'd like to suggest a way to do this at a very small fraction of the cost. The panels that go into hanging ceilings cost about 50 cents each, and they have an insulating feature which would obviate the need for extra insulation. You could prebuild them with the aluminum piece parts and attach it all to 2x2 framing for support. Use clear lenses on the ceiling to let light in from the room, and add LEDs as necessary for more light. Attach some panels to a 3x7-ft piece of luan plywood for a door. It's not going to look fancy, but if your budget is limited, this is another approach. Thinking about it a little more, you could build a 7x5 size or of 2x2 stock wood, and hang the ceiling panels wall panels with zip ties attached to each other (after drilling holes for grommets). The recording room doesn't need to be air tight if you already have a quiet room, and then you would not need the little fan through the wall.
Nate the super small sound booth builder.. If you build more maybe getting prehung doors ( speed things up ) maybe a slight bit bigger so you can do more then sit in 1 spot or maybe invite your favorite cohost over and do your podcast together without having to sit in the same chair. Lastly build into 1 of your walls a power strip so that you can unplug the entire room with 1 plug just because
You've got me wanting to do the same thing. My room has two HVAC vents in it, I could totally just build a booth around one with a vent on the outer wall of the booth to flow into the room as well. I may just do this.
How about 2 stripper poles on each corner opposite the door side. Use clamps to mount all equipment. Computer and other hardware above studio with cables hanging from ceiling.
definetly a cool build. if you get a chance maybe get some acrylic diffusers. makes the lED's light look nicer and can make cheaper ones a bit nicer to look at. and it could make just the whole wall look a bit nicer
I love your podcast. It's fascinating how it really catches the chemistry between Nate and Calli how we know and love them, even though the podcast is scripted by other people. And it's super informative as well.
This project could be expanded into a collapsible sound booth for people who can't make permanent changes to their property, for various reasons, but definitely needs a sound booth for their projects. Do a collapsible booth project, that would make a good video.
A few years ago I took a day class with a VO school. We all laughed when the instructor said most people start recording in the closet! It's true though because the clothing and other soft items inside muffle the echo. It's something I haven't pursued yet, but now that I have moved I might consider it.
I did not know that you did a podcast I listen to podcasts all the time on driving for l my job so I immediately went and found your podcast and yay yay yay double bonus to hear that Calli is on it also awesome
Nice. I'm not so sure about the LEDs primarily because I don't know how noisy they are from an RF perspective. That's not a big deal for most people, but for a ham radio operator...
Definitely an unorthodox way to install a door. But, like you said, function was the goal, so hey go for it. Also, sometimes there's a little tab on the bottom of the knob where a small flathead screwdriver can be used to remove the knob.
if you are wanting a true dead space studio you need to add foam inside walls to create inside and outside dead zone you dont want outdoor noise fade in.
Awesome build! When I heard you say “2X3 boards”, I shuddered. My bro-in-law convinced me to use them when I built our basement. Never again. If you don’t use them immediately (like a week) you end up with Twizzlers. It’s 2X4’s for me from now on. 🙂
I'm surprised you complained about the room being echoey and then built the studio with the painted part pointing inward. I don't know, just guessing, but wouldn't it make sense to put the painted side out so you have more internal volume? That way you could get thicker foam pads and it wouldn't take any room away from the useable inside Also would look prettier from the outside
The first half minute or so if this video is far too relatable. Last month I needed a place to take photos so I ducktaped wrapping paper to the wall and a small Tupperware bowl on an old dlrs tripod so it could hold my phone. Shout out to all the low budget creatives.
my left ear enjoyed listening to you talk, my right ear seemed to be left out a lot though. please make sure the audio is balanced before uploading Nate.
It looks great and I'm sure it's functional but you have to make the outside look a bit nicer!! It pains me hahaha. It'd also probably look better on the inside if you got maybe some higher quality flood lights, removed the current wall string lights, and put the sound dampening foam all around so there aren't white spots sticking through.
If I had a way up there I would have done it got for the cost of getting there and staying there. I guarantee it would be strong could even build the door custom by hand
Cool build I feel like u could of did a little more with lighting and ventilation but whatever works for you. Plus this is a cool low budget way to make a recording booth
So glad to see how you guys bounced back after seemingly getting the boot from the king of random... I cant wait to see you guys fucking make shit happen on the discovery. bring back the old days when history and discovery channel was fascinating. iam sure that's what got you too into the business in the first place, or you just like to tinker like myself
Great both, great podcast! I've been listening since you guys started it. Only feedback I have is the podcast doesn't seem to capture your voice the same way a video does. It sounds like the bass in your voice is lowered or removed. Cali sounds like she always has.
Love the booth build, though you kept me wondering about ventilation until the end. Calli being there was a bonus. You two working together always brightens my day.
Same for me with ventilation!
Ditto for both ventilation AND Calli!
Glad to see both of you together more. nice quick build.
I was thinking "oh he's going to be mounting things in that room I hope he uses french cleats!" and then BAM, french cleats. Well done, sir.
Nate is my spirit animal:
"Do I know what I'm doing? No. Is it gonna work? Uhhhh. Probably." But also, I love the almost sibling dynamic between Nate and Calli. Super friendly
It's always interesting to see other peoples plans for home recording booths and compare ideas. Nice project 😉👍

I literally quietly screamed "Cali!" You two are awesome together. Didn't know about the podcast but I will check it out.
Nate.

I love that you continued your geniusness and fun with videos. You literally deserve so many subscribers
Congrats to Nate for coming out of the closet!!!
Nate: *Builds a new closet*
:O
A sound closet
That stud finder trick is a oldie but a goodie
Awesome recording booth for an awesome podcast. Seriously, everyone who watches Nate and Calli should listen to the podcast. Because Reasons.
Well maybe we would if it was available in the UK lol
@@SlyerFox666 I'm in the UK, and I'm listening on Spotify :D
@@NeroZashi Tried the link says not available in UK and I don't use Spotify.
Nice surprise Cali is here
you 2 have always had great chemistry on camera
I love to see the "firebug" on your videos Nate.
This is so cool!! I'll add it to the "things I would love to do but I lack of skill/tools to actually do it" list, it's amazing 🤩
Hey Nate, chuck that ventilation fan on the outside of the box and if you want to go overkill, sound deaden the airflow in, no fan noise.
You both working together make everything better.
I hate painting walls Soo much. If only you could paint all walls this way, 😂.
Great build!

Note you can pull off the knob by pressing in a pin on the side to take it off and put in the screws easy
Wow what a good grab for curiosity. Good job you 2!

Love the videos! Keep them coming. I spread the word about your channel to all my fellow youtube watchers every chance I get!
Happy to see you back uploading, Nate!
You now need to invite Destin on to your podcast

Awesome build and found the podcast.
Nice sound booth Nate, bloody great work, loving the content and your channel 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia

6:03 Wasn't paying attention and thought there was some Nate-ception going on xD
Great job, Nate! In my book, if you've done something once, then that makes you an expert! Two thumbs up!
Very cool build!

Subscribed to the podcast a while ago and it is very interesting indeed. Listen to it on the way to work.
Nice. I'm not so sure about the LEDs primarily because I don't know how noisy they are from an RF perspective. That's not a big deal for most people, but for a ham radio operator...
As someone decorating their flat I also hate whoever made door knobs the way they are.
Definitely an unorthodox way to install a door. But, like you said, function was the goal, so hey go for it. Also, sometimes there's a little tab on the bottom of the knob where a small flathead screwdriver can be used to remove the knob.
When you just had the lights/foam up, my initial thought was; 'world smallest rave location'.
ive always wanted a good tutorial. thanks!
Cool build. Just subscribed to the podcast.
if you are wanting a true dead space studio you need to add foam inside walls to create inside and outside dead zone you dont want outdoor noise fade in.
Holy crap that turned out awesome! Now I want one haha
Awesome build!

Cool build, more comfortable for sure ! for a second there, I thought you were going for a blue police box 😉
Congrats on the podcast!
I think it would be much more convenient to have the fan send the air out. It will be (even) more quiet, and typically you will get better air flow.
I'd love if that podcast was on TH-cam.
Your basement is really cool, I've been there.🤣🤣
Both of you are back together again!!!' Yay!!!
The first half minute or so if this video is far too relatable.

Great video, looking forward to the new podcasts 👍👍 quick side note, invest in an impact driver... You can thank me later 👌😂
Also, your wrists will thank you immediately
It looks great and I'm sure it's functional but you have to make the outside look a bit nicer!! It pains me hahaha. It'd also probably look better on the inside if you got maybe some higher quality flood lights, removed the current wall string lights, and put the sound dampening foam all around so there aren't white spots sticking through.
Funny enough too much sound dampening foam would give an unnatural sound on a podcast, you want at least a little reverb to come through the mic
@@Pikawarps Ah interesting!
curiositydaily isnt available in europe...
Aw man that sucks.... Have you tried using a VPN? You might be able to work around it. :/
I would like to build one of those one day
I'm not a part of construction or anything like that, but I do know some basic house work. It looks like you framed the door just fine.
Yay! Finally the promised video has come out!
If I had a way up there I would have done it got for the cost of getting there and staying there. I guarantee it would be strong could even build the door custom by hand
Nate, I'm disappointed in you for not making the obvious dad joke about the stud finder.
During the moving montage I legit thought it was 2 Nates the first time around 😂
Callie's reveal. 😮🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cali and Nate Best team since Batman and Alfred
Cool build I feel like u could of did a little more with lighting and ventilation but whatever works for you. Plus this is a cool low budget way to make a recording booth
I can't wait to subscribe to your guys's podcast
Love it, was wondering if you were gonna ad a vent lol, I would die without one
I don’t tend to listen to podcasts, but I might give it a go.
Very cool.
So glad to see how you guys bounced back after seemingly getting the boot from the king of random...
I cant wait to see you guys fucking make shit happen on the discovery. bring back the old days when history and discovery channel was fascinating. iam sure that's what got you too into the business in the first place, or you just like to tinker like myself
nice project 😉👍
I knew she was going to somehow be here! Love it!
Great both, great podcast! I've been listening since you guys started it. Only feedback I have is the podcast doesn't seem to capture your voice the same way a video does. It sounds like the bass in your voice is lowered or removed. Cali sounds like she always has.
OMG CALI
So cool
This music gives me sonic adventure 2 vibes. Intentional or not I love it. I hope everything is working out for you and keep up the good work. 👍
You got to interview Josh Gates that is so cool.
Great Video Sir.
Would making the top piece of wood for the laptop holder longer/wider help it from tipping over?
you need to do more vids with calli
Nate is that the door to the basement in your garage.
discovery? wow! niceeee
I love the podcast and enjoy the episodes
happy belated bday
That was a massive amout of clothes in that closet. Who needs that much clothing? Do you do fashion shows?
I just am bad at throwing stuff out. A lot of that is years old and not worn much.
Time to make a fashion show video and let the viewers decide what to keep. Then another video turning your old clothes into couch pillows.
I’ve much preferred your videos/presenting on this channel than any of the tkor videos after grant
Overall great videos
proud of your nate looks good :) inspiring
Where'd you get that chair? It looks so comfy! Anybody recognize the brand?
Awesome job, should work good for editing videos to
The door is the exact same door as mine
What would happen if you put a vacuum in a vacuum
Approximately how much would a project like this cost?
I get my podcasts on youtube, will it be on youtube?
