Navigate Faster with this! Let me know, do you use acoustic foam?
Andrew Kan hi, I loved ur tutorial!
@@oppo5123 thank you! I hope you were able to install the foam!
I was just going to ask if that was because of the lack of acoustic foam. Thanks for sharing that in this comment. Really big difference!
I wasn't...? Was using a shotgun mic on the camera I used for the whole video. 😂
no u switched from your camera mic to actual mic
I was just about to look into this so this video was perfect timing. Thank you!
Makes me happy to hear! I hope this video was helpful to you! If you have any questions let me know :-)!
Algorithm knows best
Great video for us just starting out. I'm getting ready to turn a small closet into a VO booth, so this will help immensely!
Hey Joseph Quam Thank you! I hope this works well for you, and you're happy with the quality you get! This can help A TON :D What is your favorite genre to VO act for? :D
Hey Andrew! Very helpful stuff. I used to record in a bedroom full of stuff, and never noticed an echo. Since getting my own studio room, there has been a LOT of reverb... Since it essentially has nothing in it except a TV and a computer. I bought 48 pieces of acoustic foam in blue and black and managed to get them stuck with duct tape. They still fall down once in a while, so I might need to order some of those Command strips you mentioned and see how it goes! One wall seems sufficient, but I think I'll continue on and do the background wall just for a little more zip in future facecam videos. Thanks for the video. Your production value is awesome! Keep it up.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I recommend the strips or T-pins. Do keep in mind some have said their foam falls down in my comments while others say it's been up like mine for months/years. I hope you hear a difference, but most importantly keep creating 😄
i appreciate and respect the fact that you make time stamps for your content
Thank you so much! I try to be mindful and help when it makes sense :)

You got my instant like the moment you show us the list of contents of this video in the beginning.
I do my best to try to help people get the information they need :)
Thank you for your information on installing acoustic foam with command strips. You addressed my concerns about harming my new paint joj on my walls. Thank you.
Happy to help! Make sure to get the right weight for your foam and I have what I used linked. Thanks for the kind words 😃
Thanks for the great tips on installation I just got mine off amazon gonna start installing them
Happy to help! Tweet me when it's done :D
Thank you very much. Very informative and to the point without getting off topic.
Thank you, It makes me feel pretty awesome to know that you feel that way, I appreciate the compliment!
Thank you, I've been try to figure out how to sick them on the wall without damaging them.
Totally great stuff, enjoyed all the information you gave us...thanks 🌸
Thank you for watching! Do you use acoustic foam?
Thanks for the tip on command strips. Brilliant solution.
You're welcome Louis Pang ! Happy to help :D I hope the foam is working for you!
i just got soundproofing for my room to record and i need the sound to be crisp, watching this video will help me learn to put it up thanks for providing a video Andrew Kan.
Happy to help! I also have a video where to place them too!
Ive actually been wondering about this for a while. This was super informative! Thanks for making this.
Thank you! Yes, I have gotten that a few times :-) Do you use acoustic treatment or sound proofing? :-)
You were VERY helpful my friend. Thank you for your patience and knowledge.
I was happy to help! Did you isn't all some foam panels? :)
@@AndrewK I'm in the process because my command strips JUST arrived today. But I plan on getting results later.
Awesome! Let me know how they work for you! If you have twitter I would love to see a photo
Got to your video because I was searching how to sound proof a room I find it very helpful and interesting I think I might watch your video more then once .
Hey @zulmabeauty5906 Thank you!
A little long ide say for a simple set up. But be it so. The simplistic nature of how you taught it allows a 5 year old to be able to learn how to do this. A+ performance 👏 thank you 🔥
Andrew! Thank you so much for this video. Im streaming over at Twitch and been looking at doing this. Cant wait to order this. :)
Hello DiizeTV, happy to see that this was able to help you! :D I wish you all the best on your streaming goals!
Great video thank you for saving our time and being concise
Sorry for the late reply Michael Niekamp! I wanted to make it easy to follow and then simple to understand! Were you able to add your acoustic foam to your room? :-)
@@AndrewK No worries Andrew I have and it is working excellently. Thanks again for the great video!
This was so informative! I’m planning on soundproofing my room soon I have roommates and do alotta music producing and out loud poetry and I don’t wanna annoy them with the noises so this helps out great!
Glad it was helpful! Keep in mind as I say in the video it won't sound proof a room, it will only help reduce echo and reverb in the room.
Been trying to put together an audio studio piece by piece on a budget. Today I got lucky. I was at a thrift store for a clothing sale and found a huge pile of acoustic tiles, 12" x 12" x 2." They were priced at 25 for a dollar. Not joking. I bought 500 which is enough to cover all the bare walls and ceiling in my spare room. I even had enough to make a foam shade for the window so I don't get sound bouncing off the glass. I just needed to figure out how to mount them and this video just told me. Thanks for posting! Now all I need is 100 sq feet of carpet and I will have no hard surfaces in my office except the desk
Nice work! :D
Great vid, really informative!
Very helpful, thanks for publishing this
Thanks for watching! I wish you all the best installing the foam for your needs!
this is very helpful i will use this method in installing my studio foam ! for my future more covers in my channel 😊 Thank YOu ! andrew !
Hey PJ Tongco Thank you! What got you into making covers? :D
@@AndrewK im in a band since HS i just love it i love singin and exposure😁
Thanks! I remember meeting you at the Denny’s by vidcon
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
Good info and underrated subscribers count ....goodwork
Such a high quality video. Thank you for the info
ZKTV thank you for watching! I hope it helped you out! Do you have any questions?
Andrew Kan I'm actually not gonna get them because I don't need them I just thought they looked cool.
ZKTV that's fair! Thank you for watching!
Thank you, great video and tips.
Happy to help! Do you have foam now?
Super high quality video! I am considering to create a mini sound booth from acustic foam to put my mic there and I hope that will improve my audio. Subbed (I came over from Nick Nimmin's channel)!
Thank you for checking out the channel! I hope you hear improved quality! Any progress on the booth? :-)
I keep hearing "use how much you need." But how do I know how much I need?? I'm recording video in my office. Does it go behind the camera on that wall?
Great question! Here is a resource that helps you decide! www.auralex.com/tools/roomanalysis/
I like the content man, good stuff
Love your personality your just so human.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I hope this video was helpful. Have a great rest of your day :)
This is very helpful. Thanks man!
You're welcome Liem Garcia Official ! Happy to help I hope this helps make it easier on Acoustic Foam :D
Great vid Andrew this is the next step in my studio!
Hey Ryan A Raymond Thank you! They're a really good thing to have! that or moving blankets, if you don't want to keep them on a wall! I have a video planned on WHERE to place the foam, since this one covers how to hang them up :)
Andrew Kan well I may have ruined Christmas and discovered my wife bought me 100 panels I think that should be enough to figure something out but a video discussing placement would be great
just got them yesterday in the mail. Purple and black and I'm putting them in today in my new bedroom
Hey Tarrabyte awesome! How are they working for you? :)
Great tips here! Love it! :)
Thanks! I'm guessing you sell acoustic foam? :)
Thanks for your recommendation because I put a poster on my wall with m3 double sided tape and it ripped of my paint and I just got some soundproofing panels and I didn’t want to use that m3 tape.
Thank you will try this 🤘
Amazing video Andrew! I especially love the intro because it really sounds like many new youtubers do sound.
I found just putting some more stuff into the room about as effective so far but especially in the setup you show (quite normal for gaming related channels) your solution is really spot on!
P.S. I didn't knew you did film school - I know 2 youtubers which did and it really shows! (I'm kinda yeallous, your vlogs look better then the best I could ever do on my own 😉)
I thought I answered this! My apologies! Yes I went to film school, and I always aim to improve my videos. If you notice the beginning TubeBuddy videos I did to now, I have improved a lot. It takes practice, time and patience finding your voice :-) I know you can!
Great video👍You deserve more subscribers👏
Thank you so much for the kind words! Do you utilize acoustic foam? :-)
Nicely done Mr.Kan
Thanks for the video and the information about soundproofing. All the time we think about soundproofing walls. But can we use those panels in the ceiling? I have my studio in the basement and the noise from the upstairs is ridiculous.
Thanks in advance for your comments
Did you ever figure this out? Daughter in basement, and father up above. Both complain about noise. Anyway to fix this issue?
Nice video, buddy! Man, I've really gotta get a bigger place so I can actually dedicate some space to production!
I recently dedicated a space to it, and it's made a difference! Thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks Andrew. Which 3M Command strips did you use? I just used the poster hanging. I put the strips on each corner of the 2" acoustic foam (4 strips per foam) and they fell down. Wondering if I need a stronger command strip.
Thanks for your help!!!
Hey @Lauren! For me the poster strips worked well and held strong, but it depends the weight of the foam. For the ones I used they were fine. Did you clean the surface? Maybe try the three pound strips! That SHOULD be able to do it :D
@@AndrewK Thanks Andrew. Yes I did clean the surface with alcohol, like you said to do. A few came down again, so I’m going to try the three pound strips as you suggested. Was your foam 2”?
I’ll let you know how it goes.
Thanks again!!!
Thanks. Good clear video. Only question I have is if the command strips are strong enough to hold those triangular foam bass traps in the corners. Seen everyone talking about command strips so I just bought some after watching this.
Cheers
I'd recommend the ones for a heavier weight 😄
Appreciate the video brotha, God bless 🙌🙏
Any time :D
Solid video, Andrew! Thanks.
Hello Dale L. Roberts great to see ya! Thank you so much for watching and stopping by, do you plan on using acoustic foam in your space? :)
EXCELLENT video.
Thank you so much.
Thank u for information
mans has a better sales pitch in the first 15 seconds than most salesmen have in their first 10 years lol keep it up man, going places
Thank you so much Luke! Have you placed your acoustic foam yet?
How do you edit the audio??
Are you asking how I edit my audio? Or just in general? :)
@@AndrewK Yes hahaha im asking how do you edit your audio make a tutorial :D
underrated video
Awesome well put together video my friend!
You're welcome Pizzles Tech Time ! Happy to help! Where do you plan on putting the foam?
@@AndrewK I have a long desk and when I do Unboxings I can hear heavy reverb. So I was thinking behind my desk and trying to plan the rest.
I have seen other youtubers put cardboard behind the foam. I did not plan for that though
@@PizzlesTechTime I would put it where sound bounces off the most, and use this amazing tool: www.auralex.com/tools/roomanalysis/ :D
yay a new video!
Yup! Thank you so much for the support and your setup looks sick! If you're reading this Check out Tiffany! You won't regret it!
I use RockWool covered in second-hand bed sheets. Makes my recording space nice and "dead." My voice is very deep and I find RockWool to be more effective in attenuating reverb in my booth.
I also use high-pile shag carpet on the floor of my booth.
Hello Peter Hopkins that all sounds great! :)
Very helpful video. I am curious, do you only need to place the foam behind your mic and possibly the corners of the room?
Hey dude man! I actually just made a video on where to Install Acoustic Foam. However that's a good place to start and also anywhere else the sound reflects when you speak!
Thanks!!! Educational video.
You're welcome jestingle /143/ ! Happy to help :D Are you using acoustic foam? :D
@@AndrewK yeah. Soundproofing my room for sleeping purposes mostly
he sounds so professional
I hope that's not a bad thing :X
Do you have any plans to treat your ceiling at all? I have found a lot of people tend to forget the ceiling, and that can reflect sound in low-ceilinged spaces. We don't soundproof because we record in a basement space that's so low that it's almost impossible to fix and keep our green screen wall intact. I need to upgrade our recording equipment, but our furnace is literally feet away from where we film, so that hum will be there anyway, LOL.
I do want to treat my ceiling, just don't have a way to currently get up there XD I did not know you filmed in your basement, but if it's on a lower level I get that. Corner pieces might help with the sound bouncing off though, also a green screen carpet can absorb sound and give more opportunities :-)
you can stick soundproofing blankets to walls (not the foam shown in the video) and over the blankets you stick your green screen.
I just ordered my acoustic foam, hence watching this video.
Thank you! Where do you plan on installing them? :)
Infront of my work area, for podcast setup.

Where did you get yours? :-)
Good question, www.wish.com. Cheap, fairly fast delivery (maximum 2-3 weeks) from China
Thank you for sharing! :D
thanks so much
You're welcome AfricanGringo ! Happy to help I hope this helped reduce echo in your sound and upped your quality! :D
How do you get the command strips to stick to the foam..? My panel just falls off of the wall because it doesn’t stick to the foam. I’m using the red side like shown in the video.
I just held them down very hard. Anotehr option is T-Pins, but it should just be force/ clamps if you ahve them.
Thank you!!! Do you have any idea how it is possible to do it for ceiling absorber?
Are you looking for wood panels or foam? 😄
@@AndrewK I am thinking foam to make it possible, wood could be an overkill because of it’s weight :(
Thanks for lightning fast answer! I appreciate your time and kindness!
Of course! Sorry for the late response here always do my best to reply! :)
Perfect video
Hey ECPLO Thank you!
Where am I supposed to place the acoustic foam? Is there a specific place? Also after installing the acoustic foam should the rest of the walls in the room have soundproof foam on them? Please reply thanks.
You install them wherever you want to treat, I have them on one wall, and have corner pieces, but that is all up to you. Are you going to record Video?
Andrew Kan no music, how am I supposed to know what wall to treat? I will be recording in my bedroom
Then if you are doing music, all of the walls, you will want as much control of the sound as possible.
Andrew Kan Then I guess what I should be asking is how do I place soundproofing foam and acoustic foam evenly throughout the walls of my room
You can use a tape measure, to decide how high you want the foam to be, and then use it to also make sure the panels are straight!
I use a 40x60 project board and tac glue and float it
I come to this video because I used these exact strips on my wall in the correct way and it damaged the walls and fell off. Great!!!
I'm sorry to hear that. I've used them multiple times since this video, and have had no issues. I do mention in the video that they can fall off, and to use the right weight. 3:24 you can see the example.
Hi Andrew, I have good dubbelsided tape, but the tape doesnt seem to stick to the foam, any tips? how does yours stick?
The command strips I applied the pressure the packaging asked for, and it's never let me down! It's pretty much double sided tape, but one side is covered and allows you to add pressure to the foam, to get it to stick! It has a convenient pull tab to make it easy to remove!
Hi. I have noisy neighbors and I am thinking of installing one. I want to ask if t would be sufficient to just cover the wall area of my bed or should I cover the entire wall?
It depends on what you’re trying to do :-) this isn’t the best solution for noise cancellation. It effects the sound in a room. This article goes more in depth: acousticalsolutions.com/soundproofing-an-apartment-non-invasive-fixes-for-quieter-renting/
This was a great video thx for the help. I personally prefer sound proofing my room when I game
Hello LSD-Rick B-172 I understand that! I just wanted to make sure people understood the difference :)
@@AndrewK yeah but you Told us to comment what we prefer to use
I know I agree with you and am thankful for your comments :)
@@AndrewK yessir
I don't know what do i have to buy to stick them to the wall properly , what is the excat size to the stickers exact
Depends the foam. I link to what I use and what works for me :)
Hey man, thanks for the video. However, I was wondering, did you only treat the wall behind your computers? I've often had it in mind that I should have a setup all around me... What areas are most necessary?
For this video I only treated one wall for sake of time, but this video discusses WHERE you should install acoustic foam: ruclips.net/video/lJuiRYfKQ5c/видео.html
Question. So I have a room right next to the bathroom and well as natural as it is, I do not want to hear people going to restroom. It's a rented property so I was looking into putting some of these acoustic panels. It's a small restroom but do I need to cover the whole wall between the room and the bathroom? Or a certain amount only. Your help will be greatly appreciated
So the panels sadly won’t stop all sound. You’re better off putting like a bookshelf with books and panels. Something to cause a barrier. Acoustic foam will help TREAT a room meaning less echo but not block sound!
If Andrew kan, I can too!
I hope you can! Do you use acoustic foam treatment?
Trying to add something to sound proof unfinished basement ceiling from upstairs and downstairs noise?
Any ideas?
These panels don't soundproof only treat echo. You could do this to help some sound but won't soundproof
Hi Andrew,
Great video, I am using double face mounting tapes and the foam keep falling, tapes stick very well on the wall but not on the foam, any idea?
Did you heavily apply pressure? I know for the command strips you need constant pressure. How long did you try holding them?
I hope to use the blue sound board, paint it and cover with tropical material, sort of like a unframed picture
Hello King Kano World Media that sounds awesome! :D
@@AndrewK I cannot take full credit. It has been done before. even the Styrofoam board works good, but the more costly blue boards work best and they should they cost a lot. Just try one, cover it with material of your choice, or paint a picture hanger on back and see what happens. Costly experiments but how bad can it e. I suggest what ever art size you like, 3x4 3x3 and find the material you want, staple gun it to the board with glue. I will use this maybe no glue, it is easier I admit
do those strips really hold? wont they fail after some time?
I've had mine for 2+ years no problem. Following the instructions has given me no problems. I can say that some have said they've had issues, and others have had none. They still work for me, but if you want another way there is a wall less way I made on the channel too!
Great video man, I am about to install mine and was looking for a guide. I noticed a lot of people install theirs, so the square is more of a diamond(I honestly dont know how to explain this better lol) does that make any difference, or is it just purely aesthetic?
It can depend on the space you’re trying to treat to be honest. If you get more coverage that way do it. Can be a bit of both if that makes sense.
Great video
I’m planing to buy the but my room has a window now there a house in construction in Baco of my home
Another thing the wall of my closet is the wall to the living room and TV gets to loud so how can I add them, should I add them inside the closet or around the closet outside ?
Hello Untouchable! They won't sound proof the TV they will only treat the noise in the room. Just something to consider when it comes to acoustic foam.
Hey! I followed your instructions regarding the command strips, but my acoustic panels have been falling off my walls time and time again, and I don't know why! I have tried putting them back up with new and stronger command strips, but they always fall off! Any idea of what might help or what the problem might be? Thanks
I haven't had this issue. I would reach out to command themselves. There are also tpins that are like 2 inches can get 100 for 7 bucks. Sorry it's not working well. Command has been pretty good with refunds from what I've been told.
@@AndrewK Okay thanks, I'll look into that!
i want to instal this foam becouse it looks good
Hello Danyal Jafferali nothing wrong with that! Any colors you're thinking about getting?
So my room has a window that opens to the back room it wasn't originally there. will panels like these keep sound from coming into my room if I just put them on the window or do I have to put them all over room
ruclips.net/video/V1_hYrS7CJM/видео.html this video shows they won't soundproof. They'll help but closing the window would be best. Same with putting the foam anywhere it could reflect back into the microphone.
I love the sentence at the end!
Hey Eddie Style Thank you! I hope you found the video useful! :D
@@AndrewK Yes!
Where did you install your foam?
@@AndrewK I have a spare room in my house so I want to make it a RUclips studio and maybe play the guitar there! 🎸
That's awesome! Please let me know when you get it setup!
What is your whole mic set-up, other than the mic?
I used two mics while filming this video. A Rode NT1 plugged into a Scarlet 2I2 and a Rode Video Mic Boomed above me.
Nice video, but in my experience command strips don't work, they just can't get a grip on the foam for more than a few days (and yes I've tried them both ways), it might be because where I live the weather is quite hot, and/or possibly the larger ones work better, but the size used in this video, even if you apply 9 of them doesn't work.
The ones I used in this video are for the foam I'm using and I mention ising the right weight for your foam. Sorry they didn't work for you :(
Thanks
Thank YOU for watching :D
I tried with xfasten double sided foam tape and it did not work. Not sure what is Command strip. Not sure it will be better.
You can get heavier weighted commands strips. Use what works best for you :)
Sweet, thank you. I just moved into a Duplex apartment and I wanted to sound proof a couple rooms. I play guitar and I wanted to make sure that the family in the other Duplex didn't hear me. The Duplex is a rental and I feared about damaging the walls. Again, thank you.
So my only caution is this will not soundproof only muffle a bit and help with reflections. It will sound better in room but won’t stop the noise. Other than that glad this helped! Happy New Year!
@@AndrewK I figured it wouldn't. My room is the farthest from the inner wall so I'm not terribly worried about it. Thanks man, happy new year
The "after install" reading sounded quite a bit better than the "before." This was a great video for those wanting to improve recording quality in a room, but what if your end goal is blocking out the bass speakers and the loud trucks revving up for hours at a time outside? I live In a rental house, and I prefer to not commit any crimes to satisfy said goal lol. I'm just not sure what to buy and what would work best for this?
For that having curtains that specialize in dampening or getting moving/ sound blankets can help a bit, but may not look the best long term. I too rent, and most solutions are not as easy. If any comments have ideas please share!
Hi andrew, do i need to cover the whole room? Or just behind the tv?
hello AB 10 this won't sound proof a room, it just stops sound from reflecting around the room. I made this video: ruclips.net/video/lJuiRYfKQ5c/видео.html on where to install acoustic foam for more help.
