    For everyone thinking about making acoustic panels, use plastic foil between the fabric and the absorption material, you really dont wanna inhale those particles. This will also allow to use more breathable mesh like fabrics which will improve the performance. And if you think that the plastic foil will ruin the acoustic performances try wrapping your speaker with plastic foil and youll realize that it only affects the really highs like 10-20khz which isnt the region you want to absorb anyway. Ive made hundreds of acoustic panels and this is just something I wanted to share! Take carr

      I used an idea from another video and got that weed guard material you would put in your garden. Keeps the insulation from poking through the fabric nicely and it's still breathable enough fro effective absorbtion.

      Is plastic foil the same as Cling wrap, like glad wrap? Do you put it both sides? like you mentioned I was told that sealing them with something that isn't breathable would cause reflections, but you've built 100's.

      Maybe a little late, but... There is also an issue that anyone rarely talks about. While I believe you can deal with particles even without plastic film - I'm not sure it will help against phenol and formaldehyde vapor (the binding component). Yes, it does vaporize over time. If only companies provided detailed information about concentration and migration rate into atmosphere. Would be a shame to die from cancer.

    Make sure to wear gloves and a mask when working with Rockwool. Also, make sure to wrap both the front and the back in fabric so you don't get rockwool particles in your room for the long run. A good, cheap material to seal the back is garden landscaping mesh. You can buy a big roll of it and double it up to cover the back. For anyone wanting to try this, it doesn't have to look as handy and pro as it does in this video. It's just sticking insulation in your room and framing/wrapping it to protect your skin/lungs from the insulation fibers.

    I’ve use the Roxul insulation in several panels, ceilings and walls in a few studios (at first I was using fibreglass insulation - yuck!) and there are a couple of things I find that works very well. The first thing is that when you are cutting it, it’s worth it to buy an electric carving knife to cut it up with, if you don’t have one and the second thing is that if you wrap it with landscape fabric, you have something that will help stop the particles from escaping and you can even double it up if you’re worried about it, but it is acoustically transparent and cheap to buy. I wrap the insulation front and back. In my 4 decades of studio ownership in a few studios, these little notes have proven to be very worthwhile. Your studio will always need some kind of ventilation, so even if it is by opening a door and a window, the air in the room can get really stale. I can remember my early studio days, when you walked out of the studio and when you come back in, you are bombarded by moist, stale air and that familiar smell of recording tape. If there is anything offgassing in the room, so you want to exchange that air ASAP, yet having a built-in studio HVAC system is a luxury most small studios can’t afford.

      True Sound Studios has a video on RUclips making panels & he uses 2 layers of outdoor weed fabric front & back plus fabric in the front. This doesn't ruin the panels but it makes them safe. Remember that sound will be moving thru the panels EVERYDAY & any fiberglass floating around will get in your body. The safer the panel the better. I used 1/4 upholstery foam on the front & back & then the insulation is trapped completely. IT ALSO gets rid of the wrinkles the insulation can make under the fabric. It lays beautifully flat this way & looks so professional. I sold the ones I made & I am making new ones with fabric I like better. Remember, you can use different colors or patterns to make your studio more exciting. However, 10 panels of huge paisley swirls or plaid looks really dumb...,I have seen some panels the owner hates after a while so maybe just change colors or use a subtle pattern. Keep rocking,,,!!!

    @mattbridges8908 2 года назад +1

    Air gap only works when it's between the panel and the wall. Gaps around the edges reduce the efficacy of your low frequency absorption. This is because low frequencies are omni directional and therefore will find their way through any pinhole sized gap they encounter, Any frequencies which make their way through the gap at the sides will not be absorbed by the rockwool. When people talk about adding an air gap behind the panel, they are doing this because absorber panels like this work by stopping or reducing the velocity of the sound wave. At the hard boundary like a wall or ceiling where the wave strikes the surface and reflects back to the room the velocity is at or near zero.. so bumping the panel a few inches out from the wall will vastly improve absorption at all frequencies because the panel is "catching" the sound wave before it hits the wall and then again as any remaining frequencies reflect back into the room. By having a gap you essentially catch the sound wave two times, once as it enters the panel and again as it tries to reflect back out. If you leave a gap around the sides you are giving sound waves a side door to avoid the absorbing material. Otherwise good job.

    • @iambradarthur
      @iambradarthur  2 года назад

      thanks. I have found that they are performing well with the current setup. I have a gap between the back of the panel and the wall and that seems to be doing the job well.

  • @kingcarmichael
    @kingcarmichael 3 года назад +3

    Looks really nice to me. One idea I had is that you could have built the absorption right into your walls, so you wouldn't need to build any (or many) panels. So, like at 2:00 in your video once you'd put the complete outer layer of rockwool. At that point you could have put the wood paneling on the places you want to be reflective and simply used batting and fabric for the places you want to be absorptive. Maybe that would not have worked well when it's really cold outside, not sure. -- Another problem with my idea is when you go to sell your house, having fabric sections instead of walls. -- But it would have saved a lot of work and given you a sleeker, more professional look. -- But great job!

    • @iambradarthur
      @iambradarthur  3 года назад +1

      Hey thanks very much :) Yeah I did think about just putting fabric over certain sections of the walls as It would definitely have saved time if I could find a way to do it simply but the more I developed the idea in my mind the more problems began to appear.
      1. It would have been challenging to get a finish that I was happy with as the walls would have stuck out in certain sections where I covered the insulation with plywood or tongue and groove and I would have been restricted to using the wall studs for the joins.
      2. by building the panels this way i can take them with me if I move studios or my setup in the future, I can also take them off and move them about if I need.
      3. Like you mentioned, THE COLD!"!! haha- it was -23 degrees Celsius here this winter so the more thickness the better.
      4. Sound proofing, Quite a lot of sound gets out and comes in already so any less material and it could start being a problem.
      5. The AIR GAP - for some reason the waves seem more effectively absorbed when the absorbing material has an air gap between it and the wall (I'm not absolutely certain about this but it seems to hold true so far) especially as I didn't opt for the room within a room design that is popular.
      6. The bass traps more or less needed to be built with those shapes and dimensions and so it wasn't too much more work to do the others along with the bass traps
      I definitely think it's a viable option, I have seen setups like Colt Capperune where the wall is almost entirely fabric on top of acoustic foam. I just decided against it this time but I may well try in the future.
      Thanks again
      Kobi :)

Your room looks really great. -- I just finished a similar project in my room, although my room was already finished with drywall by the prior owner of the house. I opted to use more freestanding/stackable panels, like gobos, so I can use them both for recording, and then move them into different positions for mixing. I also tried to make my panels have two sides, one purely absorptive and the other partially reflective (of the highs and upper mids, while still trapping lows - more for recording). I learned that by simply putting a piece of heavy brown paper in between the rockwool and the fabric, that side of the panel has a different character. It's cool that you can put your nose up to the panel, sing, and hear what it sounds like. I had a lot of fun making this stuff and I can tell you did too. -- Thanks for you detailed reply.

    if u wanna damp the max. bass fq u have to take some damping material which has quite more than 5000Pa*s/m2 air flow resistance. and then it's getting much more expensive. ;) - e.g. an normal 200mm thick layer of "rockwool" with a max of 5kPa*s/m2 - which equates to a absorbtion coefficient of 0,6 at around 100kz. by using the same thickness of rockwool with 10kPa*s/m2 AFR u get an absorbtion coefficient of 0,6 at 78Hz... (we're talking about normal rockwool without any specific acoustic functions...)
    U see, it's quite a bit of a choice between the amount of money and the "needs" of your room treatment.... u can decide.
    I layerd two different porous absorber as seiling absorbing area - 150mm thickness and an coefficient 0,78 at 70Hz... this is phenomenal!
    All the best and keep up presenting hich quality content!

The same goes for a drill and beyond that you don't need much more equipment. You could do the same work with a hand saw too if you really wanted but it would just take longer.

      @iambradarthur  3 года назад +1

      yoo thanks very much :) You don't absolutely have to but it isn't too tricky to do and doesn't have to look pretty either as you won't see it so it's worth doing if you want. I did it for a few of them but not all of them. There are quite a few studies about the safety of rockwool and it seems neutral when it's not being cut or handled (it's a good idea to wear gloves and a mask when you're working with it) it's certainly not as dangerous as the previous versions of insulation and asbestos or fiberglass.

    You might want to test the room w REW, especially as sheets aren’t breathable material; they may be taking away from the rockwool’s absorption ability (sound is probably bouncing off the sheets more than you think, maybe!) tests will show what is really happening.

    • @iambradarthur
      @iambradarthur  3 года назад

      Hi, thanks for your comment. It really depends on the size and dimensions of your studio and down to your budget. I found the RW6 works best as it a convenient density to work with, cuts more easily and does a great job of absorbing the sound but I think pretty much any of them will work well, the lower densities might be harder to work with as they will feel thinner and more floppy. I have used RW45 in the past and it is a cheaper option than the RW6. I used the 100mm option as it is the same thickness as the insulation in our walls and will absorb a slightly higher range of frequencies than the thinner options. Ultimately any will likely be better than none. I hope that helps

If you fail to deal with this range, the mid and upper frequencies can become badly distorted.

    I would not use rockwool for panels. Rockwool breaks down over time and will pass through the cloth material, into tiny particles that you will breathe and eventually get very sick from. Rockwood is meant to be an insulator behind sheet rock walls and is not meant to have any acoustic value.
