Thanks for this video. I'm working in a room where one entire 12' wall is floor-to-ceiling glass (part of it is a sliding glass door). The audio reflections are pretty severe. How would you recommend hanging acoustic panels on it?
Hi, thanks for the information. I got question about ceiling panel air gap, can I go as low as possible or not more than the depth of the panel? It’s 5.5 inch panel
All panels should be placed out from the wall the same distance as they are thick and the thicker the beter. This set up doubles the effectivness of your panels. My panels are 8ins thick and the back of the panel is 8ins from the wall.
Yes placing panels out from the wall does increase there effectiveness. I have never heard the double thickness rule. I do know that putting a panel at a 1/4 wavelength for the frequency you are trying to absorb makes the panel most effective at that frequency. The problem is with those dang low frequencies. Thanks for sharing!
@@jacobdavis4017 My home made pannels have a MDF frame and i screwed 4 small wheels (castors) to the bottom which allows them to be moved arround when requied. They are 2 meters high and 1meter wide.
A good point. You could have someone with sight do it for you while sitting in your chair or simply cover as much of the sidewalls as possible with absorption to get the first reflections.
Depends on how structures are built in your area and budgets. The best soundproof room is an underground bunker, it is not feasible for most people so we use drywall.
The fact that GIK STILL offers no hardware for their panels is one of the biggest reasons I went with an entirely different company. Wire cables to hang panels is ludicrous and archaic. Sure, I could go and buy hardware; but that should not be the case whatsoever.
what's a reflection free zone? explain it exactly. if youre going to make these videos, you have to understand that the people watching them might not fully grasp all the things you do.
@joeyhenson5166 thanks for watching and sorry for the confusion. The reflection free zone is an area in your room where the sound waves from your speakers will hit absorption panels rather than the wall making your listening spot free of acoustic distortion. The idea is that you hear the sound waves that come from the speaker to your ears and do not hear the sound waves that hit the walls and then reach your ear milliseconds later. By reducing or ideally eliminating the reflection of sound waves off your walls and ceiling you are improving the clarity of your stereo field when mixing and listening back to recordings. Hope this helps!

What's the difference between setting up the room for listening (mixing, mastering) or for recording (vocals, acoustic guitar)?
I find that if you set up a room for mastering your guitars and vocals will sound great
@@soundproofyourstudio that makes sense, thanks!

I would try an acoustic grade curtain with moveable gobos in front of the glass.
Find a woodworker in your area and have hime makesimple stands for them. (Or just make them yourself if you like DIY)

The lower the better for bass attenuation
Nice vid, thanks so much! Which colour (code) from GIK Acoustics did you choose?
You know I can’t remember, it is a light grey.
@@soundproofyourstudio thanks for your reply 👍🏻

How would you achieve this? Like, how to you get it to hang on your wall at that distance?

Hey, what is the usual gap between the bass trap and the side absorption panels? Kinda hard for me to do the mirror trick
You can leave about 6 inches and you should be good. Ideally the whole wall is absorptive so do the best you can with your budget.
The mirror thing sounds cool but it is useless to me as I am blind. Any alternatives?

Where is the link to the acoustic treatment course?
Sorry, I have discontinued the course. I do have a free acoustic guide: www.soundproofyourstudio.com/acoustic
how far from the ceiling should the cloud hang?
As low as you can get it imo. That way it will help with lower frequencies.
@@soundproofyourstudio that sounds claustrophobic.
What app did you use on 1:40 ??
It is a free room modeling app on the GIK acoustics website.
Hey FYI the link for the hooks appears to be broken. Cheers!
Thanks, I just updated it.
Why would anyone use dry wall? Here the walls and ceilings are properly steel concrete

Yeah the z clips are better.
Why is your advice mentioning friends helping me?? Who said i had friends?! 😂
Haha
If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your ethnicity?
Thanks for watching
