    The thing that I like about this guy is that he doesn't make things overly complicated and gets to the point. I've learned that when it comes to audio, you can go on forever with acoustics, gear etc. and it's easy to fall into the trap of over-obsessing about everything and never getting anything done. Just do the best you can and then get to making music! Great video :)

      I did that for 5 solid years (Jan 2006 to late December 2010). Slept on the floor on a folding cushion, in my cramped home studio. A lot of musicians do what they need to in the meantime. It's part of the fun. And I wasn't destitute. I just had a lot of gear, and not a lot of space.

    This is one thats going to hit home with so many. Can relate this BIG time. Been there with mattresses, duvets, cushions....Even now I use an old rug mounted onto a frame made from cheap, plastic clip together pipes (which works really well). Does it look pretty? No, just the opposite. But who's going to see it right? Another excellent video, only hope all your current extra videos bring you the followers and clients you deserve.

    Great video, and it gives me inspiration to tackle the sound issues I face ahead. Like many, I've been banished to the dreaded basement, where not only do I face the same issues as this small room, but additional issues, such as washers and dryers, and the occasional furnace running (Ugh!). add to that, the fact that my shoestring budget is so tight, it doesn't even allow for the shoestring! I have my work cut out for me.

Not the most glamorous solution. But seen it used in bigger studios to some extent. Very informative video though, thanks.

  • @DrJoshGuitar
    @DrJoshGuitar 6 лет назад

    Great video. Many of us are in 11X10 rooms. I add heavy compression as a plug in on my vocal track so I can take a quick listen when I record it (not on the way in, but just on a track send) just to check for any weird reflections coming from the room, and if there are any, I change the direction of my body and the mic. Also, the compression makes it easier to judge if a performance is good without being distracted by volume changes. Also, which direction you are facing when you sing makes a massive difference in a small room and is the easiest thing to change. Face away from any close walls when singing or playing an instrument. i.e., down the long axis of the room and 2/3 of the way away from the wall you are facing. If you can, make sure you have something to diffuse the sound on the wall you are facing (i.e., bookshelf, sofa, furniture).

    tip for everyone who has their desk against a wall: get it off the wall. the "best" position for a desk is when it's about 1/3 of the room's length away from the wall. also a room made for mixing should never sound dead, but balanced. get about 50% absorbtion, 50% diffusion

    • @tonymancini8170
      @tonymancini8170 4 года назад +3

      @@Vnuckmusic The reason why is that when you are directly against the wall, you are getting the reflections against that wall because you are so close to it. If you are about a third of the room away - I might argue that it's a little less than that - you'll be the optimal distance away from any reflective surfaces including the ones right in front of you.

    • @Vnuckmusic

    • @tonymancini8170

    I had a friend make some wall absorbers like used in large churches. I also put cork board on the wall in back of my monitor & speakers to absorb. I put some on the door because the doors that come with new houses are almost hollow. Thick window drapes are important also, it blocks out much of the light so my monitor gets no glare. Good video.

    Great video! I have a 10 by 10 room, I bought some studio foam, and put a thick curtain on the window. room sounds so much better with treatment. I remember how live it was originally. It's not perfect but I am satisfied with the quality of the recordings I'm getting.

    • @JsquareProductions
      @JsquareProductions 6 лет назад +1

      You need treatment in the bASS frequencies. Get some bass traps or some thick Rockwool stuff. Adding foam will make the room dead, which is great for recordings but is terrible for mixing stuff. Mixing in such a room may lead you to boosting high frequencies too much because the room eliminates the HF bouncing in your room

    • @merchantaudioproductions
      @merchantaudioproductions 6 лет назад +3

      I like the idea of bass traps, but they aren't necessary. I get great mixes because I've learned my room. That to me is the most important thing. You can treat your room with the most expensive treatment available, but you can't get it perfect, it's a bedroom, and if you don't learn your room, all your money is wasted. I get great mixes. I also check my mixes on headphones and other media. Happy mixing!

    • @JsquareProductions

    In order to minimize the remaining sound of the room, I do use a mic reflection shield (well, mostly for keeping out the laptop fan noise really), but more importantly, I record up close. The louder the direct signal, the quieter the reflections in relation to each other. It works well for me, but of course you need a pop filter for vocals. And: keeping the bed and its soft surface _inside_ the room also helps the dampening a little... 😎

    OMG this video helps a lot! I've been looking for this trick for my whole life😂 THANKYOU SO MUCH !!! By the way, where can I find the "wooden frame"? Is it DIY? Do you have any video about that?
