- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Watch as Weezna shows how to build 2 types of vocal booths. Vocal booth #1 uses a mic stand and a thick blanket to build a very simple 1 surface vocal recording acoustic panel. Vocal booth #2 is a rectangular shaped space that treats all surfaces including the top and bottom, back and front, and the right and left sides. Materials used:
1. 8 - 1x2x8 wood furring strips ($0.97ea at Home Depot)
2. Spax 1-1/2in construction screws ($7.97 at Home Depot)
3. Rustoleum Black Paint ($9.97 at Home Depot)

Like building a fort but for adults? Dope video man this is some good advice
i still hear "check, check,hey yeah" in my nightmares.....
@Savannah that one is trash
Look up phase cancellation and standing waves. Small booths absorb most your high frequencies leaving only the lows. It sounds muffled. To avoid that you need 6 to 8” of absorbent material
Awesome vid bro...this changed my entire perspective on my equipment which I thought wasn't good enough...now I see the room plays a major factor in echoes and extra noise
Yessss, awesome man! Yeah i can't tell you how much treating a room changes everything from the tracking process, mixing, and mastering! Thanks for watching!
Usually you’d get great results by putting the sound absorbing material behind (and around) you. Where the mic is facing. since most cardioid microphones cancel out a good amount of the sound behind it
Hey ! Hey !! Yeah . Check ! Hey ! Hey !!
I made mine with PVC pipes and it’s super stable too but it’s not 30 bucks for sure. It’s like 100 bucks for the pvc pipes and 50 dollars blankets and 50 dollar pads. So that’s like 200 bucks but still it does a great job so I’m happy
Awesome video! I tried in my closet under my stairs. It didn't work because my ceiling wasn't flat. 8:40 probably going to have to trim the other ends also because wood length is never the same when its milled. I realized that when building shelves in my garage
Two Thumbs up! Hey! I essentially say essentially a lot too! lol. I'm on it, only I'm using a small corner in my office and using idea from booth#1 to make booth #2, by putting blankets up from Goodwill up and possibly foam (hope it doesn't get too hot and run me outta here). And I thought I had a problem. No problem at all!
As for being in flat & qualifying sound engineer , just reminded me I did vocal booth number 1, while ago I have mic stand and thick towel, I also have acoustic foam in studio already..this be an add on extension..I test it soon
perfect 👌 just what looking for, 😊 thanks 🙏 I feel more confident now to this again and start singing.. on low level
Thanks. Simple and effective. Appreciate your efforts.
What works well for sound proofing with the blankets is some felt underlay used in floating floors.
la la la la la. That's my favorite song
"Check Check, Hey, Yeah. Check Hey Hey, 1.2." lol
Haha yeah i ran live sound for 3+ years, i definitely get it from that lol.
Design Factor literally lol all caps idk
#1 gave me an idea to put as a reflection shield behind the singer, where a lot of reflections also occur.
U should do a video of vocal booth made OF PVC PIPE AND FITTINGS
CMIRA Capo chats exactly what I was thinkn!!!
Finally, a good vocal booth tutorial. thank you sir !!!
Awesomeeeeee! Thank you!
Is it just me or I didn't notice the big difference between the two options (regarding vocal quality)?
Could it be that in the first option the blanket absorbed a lot of sound so that it even didn't bounce back at all (or really little)?
Anyway a great work and I'm planning on making something like your 2nd option :)
depends on what you are listening this video on and also yt audio quality is nowhere near as you would hear in studio record
Moving blankets from harbor freight work well for this
You. Could also use moving blankets from Home Depot
I used pvc pipe for my vocal booth just so I could take it down and store it when need be
I went and bought the wood but didn’t see a price cause I thought it was gonna be cheap anyway. I cut it before paying at Home Depot and it was $5 each 😭 still worth it though lol. Thanks for the tips!
No problem, Thanks for watching!
I made a really nice vocal booth for 100€ by buying aquisic foam triangles online, a bendable room divider and some glue, then I glued the foam on to the room divider on the inside. TThe room divider has to be taller than your self be some centimeters and then you can fold iitt around the mic and puta sheet on top or cardboard with glued foam on top.
It is rollable / foldable too!
But come to think of it, we don't need that much space to seal. We only need to seal the our head. So, what if some company creates a helmet (like those you were when riding a motorcycle) that blocks the outside noise and has a high quality microphone inside? Then you can just put on the helmet to record the voice cleanly, without the need for the huge booths that takes a lot of space.
5:02 remix! (Tap to a rhythm)
Vocal booth #2 seems to be better at covering all sound directions than booths #1 and #3.
Vocal Booth #3 (separate video) looks like a portable booth you'd use if you were on the go and had to do a VO job on the fly..
We're gonna try this tomorrow if we can buy all the stuff during quarantine . Thanks for the content
Excellent
this is great, man. thank you for putting it together.
Great vid thanks so much, you and the blankets though 😂. If u can show a way to add your acoustic foam to some kind of wall with the booth would be nice
Wow that 2nd booth was awesome 🤩
Absolutely wonderful information. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm subscribing.
Hey I like this channel bro. I ended up getting the dbx compressor 266xl from your other video. Found a church selling it. Thanks for the advice
Love the video. would you happen to know if I did this same thing in my basement would I be able to sing in it without the people upstairs hearing me singing. because that’s what I’m looking to do. since it’s not my house this is perfect being portable but I want to keep the sound quiet.
Dude, you only have to control the reflexions from behind rather than the ones from the front! The second one is perfect! ^^ Wish I had space to place that in my room, hahaha Doesn't look very portable though...
Ty
Did you release the video about the third type of booth you were mentioning? I can't find it on your channel :(
nice one!
I hope you asked your wife first before you used her blanked for building a vocal booth ;)
Lol haha i didn't!
Florian Popp Yup it never fails.. the cornball, attention seeker, Like junky, RUclips commenter!!
Good thing you bought that paint...and your old lady is going to be pissed about her blanket
Simple shower ring would work nicely and be about the same cost as your build
Elaborate on what you mean by this..?
I’m currently doing this build and it’s giving me hell..
Shower rings?
Couldn't one just get 3-4 mic stands and build a booth by hanging blankets? I like the mic stand idea because it's easy to take apart and store for someone living in a tiny college apartment.
So nice sir I like it soo much from india karnataka
This guy doesn't know that the problematic frequencies are coming from the vocalist's back. The back of the microphone is the least of the problems because cardioid microphones pick up sound coming from the front and sides.
Wife: what is my blanket ? 🤔
Him: no idea honey 🤷🏻♂️
It's cool but there's no place to put your copy. I find it really distracting if I need to finagle to use a reflector and read copy. I bought the halo and it works great but again you can't read copy easily and that's the biggest issue, so I'll be returning it.
Hay there we have the Kaiatica eye ball although the low end is often an issue
the suggest roll off but no one shares how much .
looking forward to some input .
ps we now have the vocal rider after your video .
hear back shortly warmly Johannes .
most just want like although have a sense you will reply .
because what guy shows all vocal booths if he dint care .
Hey
Can you note the noise floor dB that you get with these?
Can you get rid of sounds of cars passing by with this solution (the 2.one) ? I live next to the road in a big city. Thanks for your answer.
bilbo calvez Hi, so no, this is only acoustic treatment and will only minimize the sound of the room being picked up into the microphone. What you’re looking for is sound proofing, which is physically stopping sound from entering your room, and vice versa. Without getting too in depth, soundproofing is almost entirely a way of building with heavy products that are very dense that help stop sound
@@TrueSoundTV Thank you! So building a small room with mattresses fixed in a wooden construction could do it? In this case, is that important that all the walls of this box is completely covered with mattresses or the bottom part stay free? I hope you can understand my english ;)
You kinda sound like Dee Snider. All I’m saying is if you yelled “we’re not gonna take it”
i bet it would be pretty close. Cool ideas in the video🤘
This video is awesome thanks I subscribed
I enter inside My Blanket for recording....
No 2 is so cool
Your awsome man keep doing what you do🤙
नमस्कार श्री मान जी में रिकॉडिंग स्टूडियो बनाना चाहता हु मुझे कोनसा साउंड कार्ड लेना चाहे कृपा मुझे बताये
I love Bryan Callen
Thank you for this video!!
Glad it was helpful!
what fx is that on the thumbnail? look cool thnx
didn't knew you guys were in Lancaster area. Watching from lockport
Haha yessss, that's awesome! A Buffalo subscriber! Thanks for watching!
I heard that recording vocals in a booth will cause comb filtering. What are your thoughts on this?
Hey so everything creates comb filtering it's just about trying to reduce it to the point where it doesn't ruin things. So yes technically a small booth that is not well treated would do that. This is where acoustic treatment come into play and really changes things to reduce the comb filtering.
can i use jute cloths folded twice or thrice to make my vocal booth???
is jute a good sound absorbing material??
Shubhro Unplugged towels work well.
Very good !
Man you are a legend and a life saver!! Thank you!!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video brotha
Dear sir very nice VB. But in such small boundary, the voice is a little bit claustrophobic. Isn,t it?.
So in the recording world it is definitely possible to kill to much of the reflections. Either of these vocal booth options won't do that though. The point of recording a very dry vocal is to later on in the mixing process, add the room sound to the vocal depending on what the need is. This way you can control the room, reverb, or delay sound in the DAW. Hope this helps - Thanks for watching!
When are you posting the 3rd booth? :)
Hey, so I had spent a good part of the day shooting the last vocal booth video and I set it aside to edit it on another day. Unfortunately the memory card that all the footage was on somehow became corrupt and I lost all of the footage. I haven't had the time to spend recently to redo this last video but it will get done soon. Thanks
Any progress with the 3rd vocal Booth?
great video bro keep it up!
Thank you thank you
How's your noise level so low? Does your basement have sound isolation?
+Krisper Kreme So the noise level is all based on gain staging. Finding a good balance from the preamp to the interface is all I'm doing. But no, my basement has zero isolation besides the vocal booth I was building. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the reply. Your preamp must be pretty quiet.
If u had an English accent I would have thought u were Calvin Harris
HAHA thank you!
Calvin Harris is Scottish, but okay
@@selennathegreat shut the fuck up
@@gladedextrose9898 wow, that's a bit uncalled for. Did you get out of the wrong side of bed this morning?
@@selennathegreat shut the fuck up
super kool...thanx...ps you don't need that background music
Thank you!
would nr 2. not be better with only Comforters ?
Instead of blankets?
Yes... well I mixed it a bit now. but I do think it need at least 2 layers of comforters, to get info an almost perfect booth..
Nice
Thank you!
It sounds better without the blanket
Looks like eminem in the thumbnail
4:45 for jokes
The most Caucasian mic check ever.
thanks
Thanks for watching
Umm Ummm, So So So.... hehe Nice Info.
This guy pauses a lot between words. Save yourself some time by changing the playback speed to 1.25 x faster.
cool
that aint a booth. thats a muthafuckin tent!!! but if the bankets are thick enough this would totally work.
lol nice green screen
Thats a green screen.
If you watched any of my other 86 videos you will see it's not, but thanks.
shit he got. 40,000 dollar booth.
Yes, i do a have full acoustically designed booth but it's also for my business. It wasn't $40k but the raw materials for a professional vocal booth does add up. I track vocals here at True Sound Studios multiple times a day so it makes sense for me to have a really good booth, my clients expect that. In the past though, i have had a huge range of different vocal booths which is why i make these videos. Thanks for watching!
Poor fella has no singing talent, hey, hey, check, check, this is vocal booth #1 😫😂🤣💀
