This is incredible. New subscriber from Kenya Africa. A music producer too. Your video caught my attention and I loved it. Waiting for more. Good staff mayne
Insane project! Your attention to detail with the cable management and even having a person measuring the sound to find ideal dampening placement is crazy. Enjoyed the editing and story too. Well done!
Yes, definetely :-) It sometimes scares me a bit because it can be SO quiet that you can even hear your own pulse, but it really turned out amazing :) Thanks again!
Thanks for the overview. I'm speechless. That is an incredible commitment. I'm just a beginner looking to treat my two-channel listening room and I would love to see more detail and instruction on the construction of your bass and absorber panels. 😅
Thank you so much! :) I've got a hard time coming up with a video about these panels, as I did not film the whole process but only parts of it. But I'll give it a thought! Thanks for letting me know, appreciated!
Ein wirklich gutes Video! Und mit Abstand das beste Homestudio was sich jemand selbst gebaut hat. Mein absoluter Respekt. Vielen Dank für diese Inspiration.
Eine ganz tolle Arbeit! Extrem hochwertig, sehr durchdacht, schönes Design, sehr informativ und interessant gestaltet! Ich freue mich, Deine weitere Arbeit verfolgen zu können! Viel Erfolg weiterhin! Herzliche Grüße, Manu
Wow! Just amazing, how you managed to build so much by yourself! Thank you for taking us through this building process, this is very helpful! Looking forward to hearing wonderful music coming right out of the chambers of this gorgeous studio!😀
Good luck in your career, remember it's just the beginning, the road is long and difficult, but you will eventually reach your goals. Keep up the good work and always remember to be thankful to your family and friends who helped you in this project.
Absolutely amazing.. The transformation is stunning. Congratulations to you and all the wonderful people who helped you with this labor of love. Great video Leo!
Thank you for the kind words! And yes, definitely. I once tried to count the hours that went into this project, including the video but stopped soon afterward :D
Amazing video quality for a new / small subscriber count youtuber. It's my first video of you I'm seeing, I loved it. You must have spent a fortune to sound-proof the room. I hope it makes your life and recording business easier!
Thank you so much! Very kind words. I'd love to know how I can really get started. I'm doing my best, but it's super hard to please the algorithm. :D If you have any tips for me how to promote especially this video, feel free to let me know! I'd really appreciate it!
Video is amazing and i was about to give a Thumbs Up in the end, but once i saw Rivendells Walpapper at 12:02 i couldnt help but stop and insta like it!
Lovely video man! Would you mind sharing all the measurement data from start (if you still have them) and the end as well. Would be killer to see the performance differences!
Ah da hat jemand aufgepasst 🥰 Hab dieses Design mal irgendwo im Netz gesehen, allerdings rund - das war mir aber zu schwierig weil ich keine Balken gefunden hab in der Größe, dann mussten es eckige auch tun :D
Thank you 🙏🏼 The most asked question indeed and the good news: I’ll be diving into REW measurements, RT60, and how I tackled (or maybe didn’t fully 😅) the room modes in my video series! As a heads up: I was aiming to find a balance between acoustics and visual design, since, as you can see here, I’m doing also lots of video content creation. Things like putting speakers in the wall or thicker back walls were suggestions from the acoustician, but they didn’t fit with my priorities. Windows were another thing - as a composer (who also mixes, but not primarily), they weren’t as critical for me. Like I said, I’ll go into more detail on your question in upcoming videos - hope you stick around! :)
Thank you! If it works for you, it doesn’t matter how amazing it is :) It’s been many years now since I started building my first home studio-some things just take time to bring to life the way you envision them.
Schönes Studio habt ihr da gebaut! So Möglichkeiten hätt ich auch gern.. Was hast du denn da für Schläuche genommen für dein Cable Managament wo alle Kabel zusammenlaufen? Hast du auch gestimmte Bassfallen verbaut? Eine REW Messung von dem ganzen Projekt wäre doch auch mal ganz interessant ;) Viele Grüße
Heyhey! Danke dir vielmals :) Ich bin echt unendlich dankbar und mir auch durchaus bewusst, dass das ein riesengroßes Glück ist, das ich da hab. Aber so oder so, man kann auch aus kleineren Räumen immer super viel rausholen, wenn man das Budget richtig einsetzt. Ich hab jetzt gemerkt, dass es viel wichtiger ist in Akustik zu investieren als das Geld in zu teure Lautsprecher zu stecken. Und eigentlich echt ne coole Erkenntnis, weil wenn du da gezielt reingehst und das ganze DIY und low-budget machst - bekommst du echt ein super Ergebnis! Zu deinen anderen Frage: Das Video hier ist der Anfang von einer ganzen Serie in der ich tatsächlich genau auf die Dinge eingeh die du sagst bzw. hab ich mir die auch nochmal aufgeschrieben. Was Bassfallen angeht shconmal so viel: So halb. Wir haben Plattenschwingabsorber gebaut die bestimmte Frequenzen treffen aber sonst haben wir einfach geschaut dass wir die Ecken mit möglichst viel Hanf zu bekommen. Helmholz Resonatoren haben wir keine gebaut, da das 1. vom Design nicht so gepasst hat und 2. man da noch viel viel Preziser sein muss dass man ein halbwegs gutes ergebniss bekommt.
i wonder what numbers you got how does rt60 look like and waterfall in REW. visually looks promising, but not sure how efficient 2d QRDs on the ceiling are (well depth vs well width ratio doesn't look high enough band of working frequencies is probably too narrow), but 1d qrd on the back looks nice and also do the basstraps (by the way, about basstraps, keep in mind that with less dense material you'll need more depth to get the same working frequency)
I’ll be sharing the results at the end of the series in one of the episodes, but that’s still a bit down the road. As for the materials and dimensions, the acoustician designed or approved everything. I didn’t exactly have the expertise in that area - I was just the one putting it all together and doing some research to ask him questions :) For example, when it comes to the material of the bass absorbers, I did some calculations myself. If you have the length-based resistance, you can figure out exactly which materials and sizes work best for different purposes. But you probably know that. Anyway, thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much, much appreciated! :) The whole project took about 2 years from start to finish, but during that time, we also renovated an entire apartment, and I had a job + other projects, so it was more of an on-and-off process. I’m taking note of your other points and will dive deeper into them in the upcoming videos in this series. Stay tuned! :)
Amazing build! Looks dope man. One question, what are your thoughts on air ventilation? I'm considering it for my studio but not to sure it is really that necessary 😅
Thank you so much!! 😊 That’s actually a great question and maybe a topic I could cover in the series, as it was definitely a consideration during the planning phase. I'll try to keep it short: costs. To install a properly isolated ventilation system, even DIY, I would’ve had to spend thousand(s) of euros. I weighed that against simply airing out the room for 3-4 minutes every hour or two, and ultimately decided on the latter. For me, the current setup works great: I use a CO2 monitor to track air quality, and when it hits a critical level, I ventilate. Plus, when I’m doing tasks like office work, I actually enjoy keeping the window open. It’s a bit noisy outside, but the fresh air here in the Alpine foothills is fantastic! 🌿 If you’re working on a budget, I’d rather recommend investing in acoustics or workflow enhancements instead. In my opinion-and assuming you have the option to ventilate through large windows-you’ll get more value out of those improvements. That doesn’t mean it has to stay that way forever for me-I do have a spot on the wall facing the balcony where I could install a system later on, but it’s not a priority for now.
@@leobrennauer It's good content to add to the series, as it will surely be a very common question. Thank you very much for the answer, I think I'll do the same. If you don't mind, which CO2 monitor do you use? The options are unlimited and the prices aren't very appealing.
@@fernandocunha5413 Absolutely - good choice! I can definitely recommend the one I'm using. You can check on my gear page. This would even be my first affiliate if you buy :D leo-brennauer.com/mygear
@@leobrennauer Nice, I'll check it out. I'm still building the walls but when I get to the finishing I'll definitely check out your gear. Thanks man, you're a nice guy. Best of luck with the channel and your projects. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Good question! This will actually be covered in more detail in an upcoming episode about the flooring, but let me quickly explain it here: In Germany, during the last century, a specific type of wooden beam ceiling was commonly constructed. Essentially, these are wooden beams spaced about 50 cm (roughly 20 inches) apart, and they form the structural base of the floor. The beams themselves are approximately 20 x 10 cm (about 8 x 4 inches) and are made of solid spruce. They support the entire ceiling structure. We had a structural engineer calculate the load capacity, and it was approved for around 150-200 kg per square meter. It’s worth mentioning that in Germany, these estimates are incredibly conservative. They typically account for a safety margin of about 7-10 times the actual capacity. When we spoke with a carpenter friend who renovates older homes, he confidently said he wouldn’t hesitate to park a car on that kind of structure-it’s that robust :D As for how we got the material up there: we had it poured by a specialized company that brought the necessary pumping equipment. You can see the hose briefly in the video at around 5:35
:D Yes, kind of an old way to insulate ceiling back in the last century. I dont think they do it anymore, cause of the use of concrete these days, but back then- it was a thing. Also worth mentioning I'm located close to the alps, so there's a slight difference to the building materials used in more northern regions.

Great video.... what about air conditioning and temperature control? And the big question how long did it take you and what was the cost?
Thank you so much, much appreciated! :)
The whole project took about 2 years from start to finish, but during that time, we also renovated an entire apartment, and I had a job + other projects, so it was more of an on-and-off process.

Amazing build! Looks dope man.
One question, what are your thoughts on air ventilation? I'm considering it for my studio but not to sure it is really that necessary 😅
Thank you so much!! 😊
That’s actually a great question and maybe a topic I could cover in the series, as it was definitely a consideration during the planning phase. I'll try to keep it short: costs. To install a properly isolated ventilation system, even DIY, I would’ve had to spend thousand(s) of euros. I weighed that against simply airing out the room for 3-4 minutes every hour or two, and ultimately decided on the latter. For me, the current setup works great: I use a CO2 monitor to track air quality, and when it hits a critical level, I ventilate. Plus, when I’m doing tasks like office work, I actually enjoy keeping the window open. It’s a bit noisy outside, but the fresh air here in the Alpine foothills is fantastic! 🌿

That doesn’t mean it has to stay that way forever for me-I do have a spot on the wall facing the balcony where I could install a system later on, but it’s not a priority for now.
@@leobrennauer It's good content to add to the series, as it will surely be a very common question.
Thank you very much for the answer, I think I'll do the same. If you don't mind, which CO2 monitor do you use? The options are unlimited and the prices aren't very appealing.

How did you pour concrete in an upper apartment? What's the supporting materials underneath?
Good question! This will actually be covered in more detail in an upcoming episode about the flooring, but let me quickly explain it here:
In Germany, during the last century, a specific type of wooden beam ceiling was commonly constructed. Essentially, these are wooden beams spaced about 50 cm (roughly 20 inches) apart, and they form the structural base of the floor. The beams themselves are approximately 20 x 10 cm (about 8 x 4 inches) and are made of solid spruce. They support the entire ceiling structure.
We had a structural engineer calculate the load capacity, and it was approved for around 150-200 kg per square meter. It’s worth mentioning that in Germany, these estimates are incredibly conservative. They typically account for a safety margin of about 7-10 times the actual capacity. When we spoke with a carpenter friend who renovates older homes, he confidently said he wouldn’t hesitate to park a car on that kind of structure-it’s that robust :D
As for how we got the material up there: we had it poured by a specialized company that brought the necessary pumping equipment. You can see the hose briefly in the video at around 5:35
You guys have gravel under the second floorboards? I have never seen that in construction in the US.
:D Yes, kind of an old way to insulate ceiling back in the last century. I dont think they do it anymore, cause of the use of concrete these days, but back then- it was a thing. Also worth mentioning I'm located close to the alps, so there's a slight difference to the building materials used in more northern regions.
