Love you tutorials! where can I check out some of the DIY project vocal booths? You mentioned Brenda's set up and I am highly interested because I just use my booth for vocals and ac guitar. thank you
Love your lessons educating on sound dynamics and high fidelity music appreciation, the quality of my awareness and enjoyment of music has improved way beyond what I thought possible it’s opened up a whole new experience in listening to music; listening to beautiful sounds will never be the same feel much gratitude thank you Sir 🤗🙏🏼❤️
I love your videos so much homie especially now that I'm building my first studio. It's small (I know...) but you've blessed me with so many tips and so much knowledge! I just wish I could have you visit when it's all said and done.
I would like a video on acoustics of recording brass - trumpet, trombone, saxophone. How to place mics, absorbers and diffusion in order to get great sound. I am building a room for that, and I am experimenting a bit with positions. If I want some more ambient sound it seems that the best position is, that I am playing in the corner (trumpet), and mic is somewhere in the middle of the room. I am studying and enjoying your videos very much. I am buying DIY bundle to build diffusers and bass traps. What is your opinion? Thank you!!!
You must first treat the room acoustical issues that the microphones will "hear". Brass requires less low frequency management. Once the room issues are treated, you can then experiment with different set ups.
I would guess most engineers would still go for some compression regardless. Just to tame to peaks of a dynamic vocal, since the nature of vocals is usually very dynamic. At least for some glue or color. But yeah, to only reach for a compressor and not need EQs, de-essers and so on, sounds like a dream come true. Definitely checking out the DIY projects
Acoustic Fields You know, standard rectangular extra living room recording/mixing situation. Set up length-wise in the room a third away from the front wall. But it includes all of the major "no-no's" that you talk about: dreaded 7'-8' ceiling, Windows on the front wall, Windows on the back wall, fireplace and mantle on one of the long walls directly across from a double wide opening to the room. I've done what I can with blackout curtains, foam and DIY treatment panels at reflection points... But I dream of one day decking it out with Acoustic Fields products. From what I can tell, you guys are the best in the biz. Love the videos. Thanks
U are the one who’s building my studio acoustic for next year...🤝
A, We are currently 12 months out on new designs and builds. Please keep this timing variable in mind when scheduling your project.
You have started to describe your product in the way I understand. Thanks so much
N, Tell me about your project.
Thank you Mr. Foley for another great video.
B, Thank you for your following. Send us any ideas you have for video topics.
Thanks for your great information and knowledge you providing in all your videos.
Glad you like them!
Dennis Foley is one of my hero’s,
he’s a true man of The Method

Unfortunately, we do not have videos of most DIY projects. We request them but most do not follow through with requests.

Brenda's microphone was really close to the diffusers. What is the ideal distance to place the mic from the diffusser to sing into the P13 diffusser?
S, You must experiment with the distance to achieve the tonal qualities you desire.
I thought their was a minimum distance base on a formula of the lowest freq of the diffusion
thank you
💪🙏
Thanks.
