@SpeedFreakNO Francis says that the panels on the back wall are placed so they catch waves coming directly from the speakers. He usually starts with the area in the center of the wall and see how that works. Again don't use too much, start with 1 or 2 panels and see how that sounds. Every room is different. You could also try some kind of diffuser to not absorb the wave but break it up so it doesn't bounce right back at you.

To be fair to the kid, Mr. Fixit guy never gave the kid a chance to say 'thank you' when he gifted him the fancy mic, the guy never stopped talking long enough for him to get a word in.
Man I've learned so much in just 2 videos hosted by Francis that I'm so hyped to start learning more and setup my first home studio this Christmas. Thanks a million.
I am always envious of these youngsters with Pro Tools rigs in their bedrooms. I mean, now, I have an HD3 rig and a C24, Neumann mics and outboard analog heaven, but that is after about 20 years. At these kids age I had a Tascam PortaStudio 4 track cassete deck. That was the home studio of the day. I dont think they know how good they have it:)
0:25 * camera crew walks in, sets up equipment for 5 mins then finally starts recording * * Francis walks in * Francis: Hey James! James: Oh hi Francis, I had no idea you'd be here!
First problem is the monitors are just sitting another set of speakers, should be on stands whether they’re on the standing one or the ISOacoustic type of stands, secondly...KRK is no bueno. Yamaha HS series for the win.
I have to admit, when I first started watching these videos I was highly critical. But I do enjoy these videos. Reality is not everyone is going to have a professional studio, and many beginner/artists have studios like these. Good enjoyable videos!
This kid was one of the audio engineers on Kendrick Lemars To Pimp A Butterfly!!!! He's won an award for it and everything its insane, Google his name now
I have the 2nd gen Rokit 8's. I'm very pleased with them the sound quality is awesome. You hear what you mix and master. Can't go wrong really. I've worked with several artist's trying to break into the music industry. At the moment working on an album with a female artist, it is hard work but I love the challenge. I will record my studio set and let me know what you think. i looking for 003 or a digi mixer so i can monitor sing while they r recording their vocals. Thanks again vid rescues.
I used the mirror trick when putting the pads up in my studio. My room is pretty big so I had to put quite a few up. Then I went round and clapped and it wasn't until I put the last pad up that my room was completely dead in every spot. Sounds awesome now :)
dope! subscribed! this video just blow my mind and made realize about the acoustics problem in my room and of some friends! from now on i'll be a devote follower! thank you!
im wondering if Francis Buckley is still doing this i could use some professional help setting up my studio. but i relly think watching the videos will help out a lot.
Well sometimes thats all it takes.. If you have too much stuff in your room it causes the sound to bounce all around. But yeah all the did was get rid of stuff and add one basstrap and one acoustic panel :D
That's easy actually. First reflection is any hard surface directly to the left and right of the listener. You can use a mirror to find it. Sit down where your listening position is. Have an assistent move a hand mirror along the wall to the left or right of you and when you can see the speaker in the mirror tell them to stop and put a panel there. That gets you 80% there. Next panel behind your speakers at wall in between and to rear of them. Add bass traps in corner to taste and you're done.
i think its better to have the speakers wide to make a better stereo image, even more than having the equilateral triangle, because you still have a sweet spot by pointing em at you. is this true to some one else? ( i had to move speakers around for 3 days to get this hypothesis).
Is it important to put panels up on the wall behind the monitors/desk? I never see him doing this am I wasting panels that I could rather put behind me or cover more of the walls on the sides?
i have a problem... room is quite big however on one wall is cupboard door sink and on the opposite wall is my window. now i currently have everything the window end as thats the only place it will work however when it rains heavily everything gets wet, especially the back of my monitors, and the sun gets in my eyes like crazy- i tried shutting blinds doesn't really help and i can't have curtains as i live in work accomodation - help!
Guys I really need the name of the song that was played before Francis brought the microphone and when James fired up his studio. That song was so awsome!
Ouch, sound waves don't "develop". Let's put this to rest already. Standing speakers on speakers is not a good idea. You will get sound from the speaker that isn't turned on because of sympathetic vibrations.
Dude, your show is awesome! Just what i needed right now, when i'm equiping my home studio. I learned lots of useful tips, so i wanted to thank you for that! Keep doing great shows :)
No. Don't like that idea. I think you mean LCD monitors? Whether it is audio or lcd monitors, you wont get a clear idea of what you are editing. Perhaps it is possible to make a shelf above ur lcd monitors. Some studio lay the monitor on its side - having tweeters on the outside. Why not upgrade your table or screw a nice bit of 18mm+ ply to your existing table if finance is not good. How you monitor makes all the difference to what you output.
greeeeeat video! I think it would be better if you guys have used a flat mic (RTA) and swept the frequency spectre from the previous sweet spot he was using and the new sweet spot. So we could see the difference of the two room tunes in graphics too. But awesome video anyway.
what kind of velcro are they using on those panels? the type i tried recently would not stay stuck to the panels causing them to fall down, but the velcro would still be stuck on the wall...
9:20 That's not a vocal booth. That's just a piece of foam on the least sensitive side of your microphone. Thus letting in all of the room noise from the front, below and above. It does prevent the natural voice sound waves hitting the wall behind it, but don't think you're there in creating a silent recording space just using a curved piece of foam! The foam should be positioned behind your head, not behind the microphone. Tip 2: often a large diaphragm condenser mic could maybe not the best option for recording in a non-quiet space. Consider a decent shotgun, especially when doing voice-overs.
itd be helpful if you could do a room frequency response analysis at the mix postition before and after with pink noise or a reference track great work either way but i think it'd help show people the difference after applying your advice! thanks x

lol you know hes putting that drum kit back in when he leaves
thats what i was thinking lmfao XD
TBH i kinda dont like how the guy takes out this and that without asking if he uses it (for example: the drumkit)
nos0323 It's optional. If you don't want them to do anything, ask them to leave.
gettin' tired of this mic shit :D
Robert Dimitrov so true omg
+lazyflame2 LOL Oh man that was a good one! Because it's so true! lol
The kid looks so excited, i almost started crying, such an emotional moment.
+youjotr9876 Ha!

Lol
Yeah i bet he totally wasn't weirded out by the presenter and the crew.
He just needed someone to clean up his room
Lmao
lol he hardly did anything...
what else can they do? he lives in a shoe box!
ILLUMINATUS those pink fluffy handcuffs tho 😂😂

I'm looking at the Blink 182 posters lmao
Hahahaaa!!
just watched this, this guy (James Hunt) does mixing for TDE now, Credits including Kendrick Lamar
SZA
Schoolboy Q
Isaiah Rashad
I've never heard of any of those people..

RedStl never heard of either of em...but then, only steers and queers listen to rap music round here...
I hope that kids music is more energetic than his personality.
marcuelcajon lol
Ahhahah
I think this punk lost his personality along with his home studio lol
He b awrite
Such passion! 🔥🤷🏻♂️

He walked in like that uncle you haven't seen in years but mom wants him to talk to you because your behavior in school and dads not around 😆
@@mbf6160 lol - you read a lot into that.
I bet you as soon as Francis left James put all his shit back the way it was and just kept the mic and acoustic treatment.
jeptar007 yeahhhhhhh he wasn't thankful cause he was thinking I liked my shit the way it was.
I bet he kept it the way it was cause he will get a much better sound the way he has it now I do audio engineering myself and I mix music and I know he will get a much better sound and mix with what Francis did for him
So I don’t think he will change back after he realizes that he can get a great mix
Why do I keep watching these. They're so bad, yet so good. I don't understand
It's like a mad tv sketch
James is using a Kensington expert trackball mouse. - there are plenty of different trackball models out there, so its worth searching around!

This kid is like ok.. ya.. cool.. whatever..

I love this show, the mic giveaway moment is priceless here¡ One of the best episodes.
First problem is the monitors are just sitting another set of speakers, should be on stands whether they’re on the standing one or the ISOacoustic type of stands, secondly...KRK is no bueno. Yamaha HS series for the win.
Reaching the rack equipment looks a pain in the new setup.
I liked how this company tries to help. subscribed!
So positive man! Love what you're doing.. Much love
I just found out about this series and just in time while I redo my home set-up! awesome
I have to admit, when I first started watching these videos I was highly critical. But I do enjoy these videos. Reality is not everyone is going to have a professional studio, and many beginner/artists have studios like these. Good enjoyable videos!
I really like these videos. This is how a lot of producers get started including myself.
Digging this series.... hope you guys still do it!
Awesome video - i just added to my Favorites ! now I'm gonna watch all the Episodes
And that's how you saved his studio awesome 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Room treatment does make a ton of difference. These videos are slightly corny , but I enjoy them.
Love what you do. Little things can make a big difference. I have applied, I need a rescue.
Yous taught me so much. Thanks & I like how you made sure you cleaned off the monitor. seriously. Great stuff man Awesome! Thanks
Sound Masters at its finest! Great video Mr.Buckley
taught me alot about speaker placement and soundproofing foam.

Yep! How crazy! We're super happy for James!
Wow that's incredible! From one of my favorite albums too. From bedroom to studio.
Gotta love the sound fx with the stuff from his room
Such a good idea for teaching this
Ive got a studio crisis. I need a full studio. I look forward to your visit. Thanks.
Gotta love this show. Amazing!
Best Pedagogy ever Made; Real instruction
Awesome. I love the simplicity here. I recorded a ton of records on Rode and still have one that I use daily.
Cornelio Austin Same here man. I got the NT1A.
great video! and the flexi screen so cool.
whats the point of the flexi booth being at the back of the mic if its a cardoid? Don't they already reject what's behind the mic??
James has Grammy's now and he's getting more 2018. It all started here. Thanks Francis
Would be nice to put the information of shock mount or a link directly to the product and not only the product's site.
thanks! that video teach me alot of the changes that i need to do in my studio.

Interesting video. I'm on the right track then with my speakers.
I need to have my studio rescued!!!! Are you still doing this series?!?!?!?!
very cool!
Wow. Very pro. Respect. Thanks.
This is studio recoarding very good
Show host brings the mic into the room.
Blink182 Guy: ''What is that?''
Me: Wow! This guy is a pro! He totally deserved this studio rescue!
... How and to what measure would you properly define SMALL ROOM???!
Now on each of these videos I get to see the monitors that are discontinued for now...

What is used to attach the acoustics to the walls? That wasn't adhesive some type of plastic white mount pieces??
How about placing studio monitors behind monitors?My pc table is small.I use it for listening to music,little bit of editing.

I thought your supposed to have the tweeters at ear level not the woofer ????anyone,anybody help me out
tweeters typically sound best at ear level; but some speakers are purposely designed horizontal with tweeters and woofers at the same level.
bring this back
