You can watch this video with narration here: th-cam.com/video/ngAVxo1kQLw/w-d-xo.html It also has measurements from the room these panels were used in to show how much of a difference they made. Of course listening it is the real test and I can tell you that the improvement in the room is easy to hear.
I am trying to find the video you posted about "speaker stacking"... I believe that's what you called it. I was trying to explain it to a buddy of mine, but showing him your video would be easier. I have taken a huge interest in your "transition" from wood working to speaker design/ home studio design....
John, two things really caught my attention. First, it was an interesting build. Second, and more compelling to me, I really loved the video production and stylistic story telling with this one. Not every video needs a voice over, not every maker video needs detailed build steps. This one really hit it for me!
As a ex-recording engineer, now woodworker, I only clicked because I just wanted to confirm my suspicions that you were going to make the same old panel everyone else does. Nice job adding the spline detail! A perfect balance between simple and effective. I didn't see that one coming.
@@tzaylorPretty much what John shows here is what works best. There are ways of spending more money, but not necessarily worth it in my book. In my old studio builds we used Owens Corning 703, but I'm not convinced it works better or worse than Rockwool you get from the homecenter.
As an ex Music Professor turned Acoustician, I must agree with @@BenStranohere. You DO need to do some basic diagnostics of the room and see which frequency ranges need to be toned down - OC703 is designed to absorb higher Hz, as OC705 does the same for the lower range. Buy Roxul Rockboard 60 and 80 are, respectively, almost identical absorbers to the 703 & 705 at a much lower price. ATS Acoustics (no affiliation, just a long time buyer) has a site that actually lists a wide variety of panels, what Hz ranges they absorb and how well they do, with prices listed, pros/cons of each material, etc… It’s a great source, even if you are going to buy from your local hardware guy or Lowe’s or whatever. www.atsacoustics.com/page--Selecting-the-Right-Acoustic-Material--ac.html
At the risk of coming off as some sort of armchair director, I must say that I really enjoyed your editing style of this production. You said so much without uttering a single word.
Just WOW!!! The music, the edit, the shop aesthetic, the equipment. Did you ever see yourself becoming a filmmaker? Make some documentaries John : ) Great skills!
Nice to see a different type of video. Also great to see the brief overview of the workshop at the beginning. Your countless hours of continually upgrading the shop has paid off.
Love the VIBE in this video. New tunes, new camera angles, clips of grabbing perfectly organized hand tools and appliances. Exploring some new creative techniques. Thanks John.
I generally do not enjoy the transition into entertainment that many maker videos are making, but this is a style I can really get behind. Silent woodworking that is instructive, eyecatching, no fluff, and a good soundtrack. Keep it up.
@@youkounkoun2 I'm curious as to what you think the right tools are. You can achieve the same results as he did with simpler tools. Saying you can't is just making excuses.
John, sometimes I out your videos in my watch later queue and forget to come back. Really glad I remembered this time. I love the editing/ cinematography!
Well, sir, you won the game with this. This should have all the acoustic panel views. The trick shot of no stapling and the clean edge work alone makes this the best video on acoustic panels on youtube.
I loved it. Love that you broke your mold and went with something different. You have a million subs. No need to worry how the video performs. You’re a legend. Keep throwing curveballs. If they don’t like the music, it’s called the mute button….
SPLINES! GENIUS! Oh man, having built my fair share of these, that is such an eye-opening way to do the fabric. I'm never going back. Loved the editing on this vid too. Thank you!
From now on, when I have to explain "show don't tell" I'm going to reference this video. The panels are a perfect solution to a friend's studio I have been searching for
I have been following your content for almost 2 years, John, but this video felt so different and so exciting! It is not the lack of narration, but more so the camera angles, transitions and backing track guiding us on this journey. Thank you an keep up inspiring!
For me the best video of you in the last few months. I like the editing and the music. I really like the style of this video. Everything went so smoothly and is nice to look at
Well John I must say after watching your other channel first today I didn't know what to expect..i like this format... not for every build but for the right project it works great...
Made similar panels a few years back that hang on the wall. Your video showed me how to improve the design, mainly by setting them off more from the wall. Generally love your vids- this one is no exception!
Nice brother. Great job. For those of us who understand where your coming from. The idea of the oak splines were a great way of thinking out side of the box. 👍
Man, that room is Fantastic. i can see myself spending many hours in such a place. one comfortable chair, an ottoman, and a side table to hold my adult beverage and whatnot. another great video. had to rewind and turn up the volume.
I have to say, I love the new format. Could be the genius in giving us all the details for the build without saying a single word. The great video editing. Or maybe the music. I think it’s a mix of all three. One thing is sure, I love the work put into it and love the new format.
I like all your videos but this was just perfect. I agree with other commenters --> music, project, video editing were all perfect. Keep up the great work.
Damn it John. Your video editing pleeeeeasssss!!!! You're good and you know it. (this style sure fits this new "instant gratification" generation i like it) The pannels look gorgeous.
I saw the scrap bin vid first for some reason. This is an awesome video! Love the experimentation. Woodworking video can all blend together, but not this!
As others have commented below, great film editing and production! Certainly one of your best videos in both subject matter and production. thoroughly enjoyed it.
WOW wheres the two thumbs up button! good on you for trying something different, as much i I love listening to you describe what you are doing this was VERY well done. the sound effects from the tools in time with the music was perfect, loved it
Love this departure from the regular build format! I look forward to hearing more about it on your other channels. Hope the new format is kind to you algorithm-wise. I don’t think you get enough credit for your editing skills, this was awesome!
This video Is really something. Is not the First Time you make something Like that, but this time i think is working relly really well the music, the editing, everything. I Like the album impression on the thumbnail, at First look i was thinking you put on your Brother photos. Kudos for all of this
That is a very cool video. Respect for all the work shooting and editing it. Next up are the acoustic panels themselves, love the clean design, and the captured spline idea is brilliant. Cheers from Tokyo! Stu

I'll watch the narrated version now, but I really dig the editing on this one.

I can't decide if this video makes me want to build something, fight someone or smoke something. Great video John, clearly much effort went into this.
It makes me wanna dance. The music, the action, the sounds of tools and the making have a close and we'll planned syncing. John is so creative.
Awesome!
I realise I need bass traps in my office.
Super clean way of mounting the cloth!
I enjoyed the editing as much or more than the actual project. Good job!

Do you have any suggestions as an audio guy

@@BenStrano cool, thanks for the good info

John... Video editing is by far surpassing anything I've seen on your channel. Thank you for taking your time and sharing this with the world.

You really stepped up the video skills on this one. Well done John.
This goes to show that now a days that if you want to get something cool/useful you gotta build it yourself
but if you don't have the right tools, you won't get it right.
@@youkounkoun2 I'm curious as to what you think the right tools are. You can achieve the same results as he did with simpler tools. Saying you can't is just making excuses.

Well, sir, you won the game with this. This should have all the acoustic panel views. The trick shot of no stapling and the clean edge work alone makes this the best video on acoustic panels on youtube.
that way of holding the fabric and making it look like a detail is a great idea.
This is one of those builds where you need to watch it more than once. The edit drew my entire attention on first view.
Now you have managed to combine my 2 favourite things in life. Woodwork and techno……. Thank you.
Dude, this editing just jumped your video quality through the roof.
I LOVE it!!! Really looking forward to more
I don't have any idea about acoustic principals , but i've enjoyed every second of this build , music and photages are awesome.
I loved it. Love that you broke your mold and went with something different. You have a million subs. No need to worry how the video performs. You’re a legend. Keep throwing curveballs.
If they don’t like the music, it’s called the mute button….
It comes as no surprise to me that you managed to come up with a classier way of installing the material on these. And those bases! Beautiful!
Yesssss! Thanks for the video John! As someone who is also very involved with music, these are the perfect kinds of projects! Super clean look!
SPLINES! GENIUS! Oh man, having built my fair share of these, that is such an eye-opening way to do the fabric. I'm never going back. Loved the editing on this vid too. Thank you!
Holy cow the spline technique is genius!! Love this video!
DUDE! ... you edited the SHIT out of this. It's awesome.
I don't have any need for "acoustic panels" but now I want to make them anyway.
Just install them outside in you yard and make the world a better (quieter) place.
From now on, when I have to explain "show don't tell" I'm going to reference this video.
The panels are a perfect solution to a friend's studio I have been searching for
That idea of cloth fixation is genius and the legs...👍..perfect job..
I have been following your content for almost 2 years, John, but this video felt so different and so exciting! It is not the lack of narration, but more so the camera angles, transitions and backing track guiding us on this journey. Thank you an keep up inspiring!
The mosy underappreciated thing in the workshop...the space between the tablesaw and the workbench - invaluable when cutting in a tracksaw stylee!
I played this one twice already: once to watch the build, and again to just listen to the music which just happened to fit my mood. Love it.
Editing level is insane. Kudos, chief.
Thanks for the inspiration and keep on trucking!
For me the best video of you in the last few months. I like the editing and the music. I really like the style of this video. Everything went so smoothly and is nice to look at
Well John I must say after watching your other channel first today I didn't
know what to expect..i like this format... not for every build but for the right project it works great...
Wow this dude is so skilled both in video editing and wood working
Im amazed!!!
Outstanding Filming & Editing as Usual
That was a very uniquely edited video!
Attaching the cloth like window screen. Absolutely Brilliant!
The splines result in a very clean edge and will do an excellent long term job in keeping the cloth tight. Wonderful idea.
I like it when you try different approaches to your video production. Keeps it interesting for you and your audience I would think.
Made similar panels a few years back that hang on the wall. Your video showed me how to improve the design, mainly by setting them off more from the wall. Generally love your vids- this one is no exception!
Nice brother. Great job. For those of us who understand where your coming from. The idea of the oak splines were a great way of thinking out side of the box. 👍
That spline idea was brilliant! Such a nice tight clean finish to the cloth👌🏼
Man, that room is Fantastic. i can see myself spending many hours in such a place.
one comfortable chair, an ottoman, and a side table to hold my adult beverage and whatnot.
another great video. had to rewind and turn up the volume.
John, I do like most of your videos, but this one is different. Your guess for change was a good one. I really liked this one.
Besides being an excellent video your thumbnail is what pulled me in. 6 of the best classic rock/metal albums ever!
I have to say, I love the new format. Could be the genius in giving us all the details for the build without saying a single word. The great video editing. Or maybe the music. I think it’s a mix of all three. One thing is sure, I love the work put into it and love the new format.
Nicely done John & must admit that I enjoyed the different video format! Well done! 👍
Thanks :)
I like all your videos but this was just perfect. I agree with other commenters --> music, project, video editing were all perfect. Keep up the great work.
Brilliant editing John!
John!!! That video was awesome 👌
And the way you held that cloth down is genius!!!
Good job John. I like the way you edited this video.
i really really liked the new format of this video John
I appreciate the creativity behind this video SO much. Well done John!
Damn it John. Your video editing pleeeeeasssss!!!! You're good and you know it. (this style sure fits this new "instant gratification" generation i like it) The pannels look gorgeous.
Damn clever way to mount the fabric. I can't tell you how many thousands of staples I've dealt with building similar panels!
Excellent work and video. That is the only one so far I wanted to watch twice and I did.
I saw the scrap bin vid first for some reason. This is an awesome video! Love the experimentation. Woodworking video can all blend together, but not this!
As others have commented below, great film editing and production! Certainly one of your best videos in both subject matter and production. thoroughly enjoyed it.
extremely good video. It is so good that I have watched it few Times in a row
Cool video format! The design follows everything I have read on panels for studios. Love the spline idea. I give the whole video a 10 out of 10. Gold!
The detail in the build, the detail in the editing, absolutely beautiful! Goals on all accounts
WOW wheres the two thumbs up button! good on you for trying something different, as much i I love listening to you describe what you are doing this was VERY well done. the sound effects from the tools in time with the music was perfect, loved it
WOW! John. That was a really cool video. Great job and those panels look nice.
Thanks 👍
Knocked it out the park with this one John. Amazing editing, so engaging, really appreciate the hard work that went into that.
Beautiful video (editing, graphics, music, sndfx) and wonderful skill making the panels. Thank you for posting this!
Not a project I would tackle, but the video itself was awesome. I loved the music and the editing was great.
Dude, I’ve been watching you for years and this was one badass video bro. Really cool!!
Art in the panels and in the edit!
Feels like im watchin a montage for some dystopian thriller. love it.
I really like the method for attaching the fabric
I do like how the sound panels are standing and looking at the wall. Sonic sentinals. Great vid - both versions!
Love this departure from the regular build format! I look forward to hearing more about it on your other channels.
Hope the new format is kind to you algorithm-wise. I don’t think you get enough credit for your editing skills, this was awesome!
Seriously impressive editing and creative work.
This video Is really something. Is not the First Time you make something Like that, but this time i think is working relly really well the music, the editing, everything.
I Like the album impression on the thumbnail, at First look i was thinking you put on your Brother photos.
Kudos for all of this
Absolutely superb content, John! I wonder if you could use the laser on your cnc to "burn-in" the art you have planned for the canvas.
Could use it to cut the stencils needed to paint it on.
Not what I expected when I sat down to watch it, but I really liked it. Nice job Brother 👍
Love the electronic music! Great editing and production!
Cool stuff. Even the editing on the thumbnail to squish everything into frame.
Love the music, the project and the editing. Cool stuff.
Excellent video and neat construction technique with the splines 👍👍👍👍👍
These came out lovely and you’ve really grown as a videographer and editor. Loved it!
I love the use of cane spline I think its called to get a clean look on the back
Very clever build John. I used to work in film studios and we used to use a similar approach……works brilliantly.
I’m more of a “use your words” kind of guy, but I can see that format appealing to people who tune in just to see things made.
Excellent video.
I really, really enjoyed this. The music, the editing, especially the filming. 11/10
Love the way this video was shot and edited. Nice job!
Man the editing on this is fantastic!
That is a very cool video.
Respect for all the work shooting and editing it.
Next up are the acoustic panels themselves, love the clean design, and the captured spline idea is brilliant.
Cheers from Tokyo!
Stu
I enjoyed that! Glad you decided to publish it.
Wow. Great content John but that video!!! 👌👌 The camera work and editing were effing brilliant. You sir, are a guru
Excellent idea. Always with that touch of genius.
With a shop like that… looks easy. Great job!
Looks like a Performing Arts Center or Church. Nice looking sound absorption panels.
Wow! Really enjoyed the video - the editing was very creative! That panels look great.
Very cool video John, don’t know much about acoustic panels but I do know the video is high-end. Beautiful job. 👌
Wonderful editing John. I really enjoyed this one.
Beautiful design & craftsmanship! I need two.
