#1 – Pro Vocal Booth & Production Room For Cheap

Sunday, February 19, 2012

DUBturbo presents: (Step By Step Instructions & Pics Below ) How to build your own sound booth and recording room for cheap. See step by step pics at: forums.nichechoppers.com This is a personal journal video as I convert two rooms in our new unit into acoustically treated recording and production rooms with a sound booth conversion in the closet. Soundtrack from: www.artofbeats.com Things you’ll need *Acoustical Foam – I used ebay – foamfactory – cost? 0 USD – which was enough to fill two rooms at 15×20, and two closets at 3×5 (we way overestimated but it’s better to have leftovers than have to re-order just a few pieces or run out before you finish your application). Get a consultation for your room from an acoustical pro so you know what thickness, size, texture, and type of foam is best suited for your needs. Get the spray glue your foam provider recommends or sells in-house. *Paint & all accessories – Get Latex or eggshell, NOT shiny/glossy. *Nails – if some of your foam starts to fall/peal/come off over time, use tiny 3/4″ nails to nail them into the wall without damaging the foam, and so you can hide the nail easily within the foam once it’s nailed into the wall. *Sheets: To treat your ceiling, you’ll want to hang sheets from the ceiling to the wall leaving a bow/bend in the middle, this is to dampen the noise an reflection from your ceiling. Feel free to add a few foam blocks to the ceiling as well. You’ll want to hang 2 sheets, going horizontally from where

This video is for people who are having trouble with the settings on pinnacle. I will show you what render settings i would use if u want to get widescreen. I will also include how to crop and scale the video just to get some of the black parts off (if it shows after you are done recording) I will use my ps3 menu as an example to help out with all who record from consoles. Fact – Dazzle DVD Recorders are only for standard definition videos. They do not record FULL HD, it just makes it seem similar to HD. Note – I use to render from pinnacle now i render from vegas pro 10. I recorded this with camstudio and edit this in camtasia studio 6. I hope this helps. If u have any questions please comment or pm me. i will try to answer the best i can.

    On behalf of dubturbo…I am very unhappy with this software.The different “pitches” are just one sound sped up or slowed down making arpegios or whatever uneven in the notes….very disappointed….

    i’ll be honest (not mean) and say this dude really shouldnt be explaining much of anything about acoustics to other people. he throws around a lot of words that might make it sound like he knows what hes talking about but a person who’s done hard work and research into acoustics can tell he really doesn’t. i really am not trying to be rude or flame the guy, it’s just very dangerous to educate others about an already foggy subject with good intentions but unsound information. my two cents.

    Tip: You will get much better camcorder audio quality (especially for measuring reflection levels) if you set the audio levels to MANUAL, not auto, as the mic volume won’t be pumping up and down every second then.

    @TheLilB24fastguy
    If you’re just talking about the foam/paint/sound absorption you can start with little – all depends on your room/area you are trying to treat.

    If you’re talking about actual studio gear – there are plenty of beginner tools, daw’s, and the like but I would start with a good sound card, earphones/monitors, and awesome VST’s and sample kit collections – the rest is creativity based and preference re gear and brands.

    @MetalDrummer1218

    I bought A LOT – enough for a booth to fill and walls for two rooms. Phone the foamfactory and tell them your room/area size and they’ll tell you the best application for your needs.

    dog009988 Says:

    @DubTurboBeats what you said in the end is true. Most of the people that doesn’t make music can’t hear the differens, but once you start making music for a while and know how to setup speaker and stuff, your ear can hear better even when your mixing so there you got the good part. Ahaha

    Josejr6 Says:

    @GamerrrNerddd np. usually having that logo is limiting you on other features. which means you do not have full access to them yet. if you want to get rid of it, your going to need to unlock the features with serial codes.

    @BloodzGenaral honestly, editing is a pain. it gets tedious after a while, but if making videos is something you really wanna do, its worth it :)
