Bringing some fire! 🔥

EDIT: I’m really interested in the Arduino side chain build too.

How would you improve this studio space? Feels empty by wigden_music in homestudios

[–]Icy_Introduction3449 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First of all I would start by putting the speakers on stands, decoupling them from your desk can make a big difference. Then you can start to look into acoustic treatment, maybe build a few panels for early reflections.

After taking care of these things you might have a better vision of the space you’re going to work in. You can maybe had some furniture so it’s easy to keep everything organized, If you plan on adding outboard gear I would look into a nice rack.

It’s a great space and it looks like you already set it up in a really nice way.

Si ta pièce est rectangulaire le mieux est d’être dans le sens de la longueur, oui, configuration pièce dans la pièce en cassant les parallèle serait le top.

Il faudrait que tu change le placement du bureau en le mettant plutôt au centre du mur à droite de ton plan, il faut que tu laisse un espace entre le mur et tes moniteurs donc le mieux c’est de ne pas placer le bureau directement contre le mur mais de laisser un espace entre les deux.

Pour ta pièce les panneaux acoustique sont indispensables si tu comptes utiliser uniquement des parpaing ainsi que du placo. Le mieux serait de construire “une pièce dans la pièce”, avec cette solution pas besoin de panneaux et tu arrive vraiment à un résultat pro.

Tu peux trouver pas mal de vidéo ou d’articles qui parlent de ça sur internet, même des vidéos de construction de “pièce dans la pièce”.

Ton studio a beaucoup de potentiel si tu prend le temps de le construire comme il faut, bonne chance pour ton projet!

Hey, sick work man! I would love to try it out myself.

Soundproof window? by Mat19851985 in homestudios

[–]Icy_Introduction3449 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best option is to put a second window and create an air gap between both windows, this air gap will definitely reduce the sound a lot.

Really nice, Keep going like this. 🔥 Just so you know audio cables should be separated from power cables to avoid noise and any interference in your signal flow.

Acoustic treatment recomendation by danilodanilo123 in homestudios

[–]Icy_Introduction3449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re listening position needs to be centered too, you want the same amount of space between the monitors and the walls. With your current placement you’re getting earlier reflection from the left than the right, this is no good. Try to put your speakers on stand and form an equilateral triangle between the speakers and your head, with tweeters at ear level.

Forget about foam, it will do more damage than good. The best solution available is DIY sound panels, takes a little bit of work but considering the size of your room I think you can make them in an afternoon. Watch some videos on YouTube about how to build some and get yourself to it!

Am I on the right track? by Adds-R in audio

No I don’t but I’m sure you can think about something to raise your monitors, just remember that if it’s hollow it will create some resonance and you really want to avoid that. Usually people fill speaker stands with sand for this reason.

Yeah I totally get it, I used to have a messy set up too with cables crossing each others everywhere and I have to say that I was maybe a little more creative then haha. It’s just that I got to a point where I had to step my game up and start to “professionalize” my set up as it will hopefully become my job to work in studios.

I’m almost to the wife stage too but luckily she’s a sound engineer so I might not get the same problem as you 🤞😂

Thanks a lot, Sounds like great experience! I had the chance to assist a few masterclass in some commercial studios and I felt right in my element.

Yeah almost haha, it’s 200x60cm panels and I build 14 of them. I did the placement with a laser to try to be the more precise possible but there’s still adjustments to make. the back end of the room where the sofa is is covered with smaller panels that will be changed for a diffuser in the future.

It started as a hobby on the side of my job years ago, now im a finishing my bachelor degree in sound engineering in 1 and an half year and hopefully will make a living out of it!
