- How to setup a Home Studio with Acoustic Treatment for recording, producing, and mixing. Shane from echo sound works shares his studio acoustic treatment process using a mix of homemade acoustic panels and bass traps as well as panels from GIK acoustics.

Do you treat your project studio spaces?? Or are you more a headphones type producer?
I use DT 770's mostly for my mixing. Super interesting video man, and the lighting you have looks cool!
I’m more of a, let’s try to not blow up my friends car speakers this time, kind of producer. ;)
I Mostly just try to treat my space. Because I remember back in the day hearing it was taboo to mix on Headphones. But then I’ve heard more recently that really, you just gotta know your headphones, like where they’re biased and hopefully not biased.
I love it when you release a new video!
Thanks man, i am going to treat my studio this year and i found this helpful.
Love that you’re back! Are you going to install ceiling clouds?
Great video! Although based off my findings having the monitors closer to the wall makes the SBIR (speaker boundary interference) more manageable to treat as it bring the peak/null it creates higher up the frequency spectrum.
That's if you have too small of a room to bring the speakers away from the front wall by actual meters
Interesting! Gonna test that out soon
Great video, and great to have you back, I Love and missed echo sound works!
I’ve done a similar set up, above my vinyl tile floors I’m using a grip of interlocking gym floor mats, and then carpet area rugs over them. This also makes it way more comfortable to stand on, and/or sit or even lay down on the floor, more homey n cozy too.
I’ve kinda been trying to get more of the room within a room idea, without actually doing that entirely.
Did you do anything to the ceilings, any clouds or anything?
Thanks!
If you get any ideas about the room in a room without doing that 100 let me know, I would like to do it too haha.
I did end up putting up a ceiling cloud.
14:20 It would be better to zoom in on the SPL axis (top left + button). Then you will see the actual differences.
Thanks for the tip. That software is so deep you learn something new every time you use it
Keep in mind that the long low frequency decay is caused by the ported design of the speakers as well. If you like short decay times across the spectrum get some closed speakers
Awesome video again man! No sonarworks?
Thank you! I use the genelic Sam, very similar to sonarworks! Forgot to mention that in the video
I'm curious to know how your imaging is with that setup given that you're not situated between symmetrical parallel walls.
A good tip for solving that 50-ish hz room mode is to play the tone and walk around the room to find the area with the highest intensity and treat the space with deeper or tuned traps.
That is a great idea! I guess I could use the SPL meter while playing the tone too to see where it’s loudest. Thanks for the tip!
The imaging is pretty good. Might take a little getting used to as it’s different than I’m accustomed to
I'm assuming the Genelecs you have come with the GLM room correction software as well, would be curious to see what that does in addition to the treatment that you installed
Yeah in hind sight I should have ran the GLM room correction and then for the final test in REW shown what that plus the treatment does
Hey that's super interesting man! But I personally dial in the sounds / mix on my headphones and later check the end result in my untreated room to see (or rather hear) if it still sounds solid. Kinda like the car test except I don't have one.😂
But would you say a well treated room is better than solid headphones? Or is it just more convenient to be without headphones?
I mean I’ve seen skrillex make way better mixes than I’m physically capable of so on ear buds or laptop speakers so it definitely depends on the user and your ear!
I like monitors more than head phones personally and to get the full benefit of monitors you need treatment
Soundcard calibration is turn up the input gain or output volume?
It depends how you’re running your sound card back into the signal
Thanks for response. I use left output loop back into left input. I have 2 choice to increase the volume which is either through input gain or output volume. Not sure I doing correctly. But it did went up if I turn either of them
Is there a reason you use the Sonarworks mic but REW isntead of their proprietary software that is actually REALLY good.... ?
Yeah! I use to use sonarworks but my current monitors have a built in feature like sonarworks that I like more.
I track a lot of live instruments and vocals in my room for sound sets, sample packs and vsts. I need my space to be somewhat treated. That’s why I’m using REW.
So usually I’ll treat my room and then once i have that to where I want it, then I run something like sonarworks or what comes with my monitors etc
They are not bass traps as like you said foam does nothing for controlling bass
I have 14 bass traps that are 8-10 inches thick with rock wool. Don’t know what you’re referencing
Do we need to correct the artist's room where they perform because I find videos about treating monitoring rooms only.please guide.Thanks
