Excellent acoustical sculpting ideas. Great show. Another idea: various localities (like Ann Arbor, MI) have scrap box stores that sell pieces of left over industrial foam and odds and ends that can be velcroed together into the kind of hut or partial hut Ronan is talking about.

How come I hear low car noises in this pro recording room, in this movie, around 06:15 and forward?

Hi Mikey, thanks for the kind words. You hear the low car noises because the building is about 10-15 meters from a main road in LA and the building is not completely sound proofed. Sound proofing the live room would cost at least $30-50,000. It is never a problem except on very quiet acoustic music, so I would rather spend that money on cool gear or being able to charge cool bands less money. – Ronan

Great video ! It’s always enjoying to learn “Do it yourself” tips from sound professionals. Thanks !

I didn’t do exactly the same thing but the video has reassured me in what I’ve done few weeks ago to upgrade my Home Studio.

I hope you don’t mind Ronan, here’s a link which show how I’ve made my acoustic panels (One of the solution mentioned in the video): http://bit.ly/cmeBnW . It is written in french but you can see pictures of the construction. Maybe it could give ideas to others.

Hi Fredde, Thanks for watching the show. Lots of my fans are from other countries that do not speak English. I need to speak more clearly. I am guessing the word I used was “Mitigate”

mit·i·gate

–verb (used with object)
1.
to lessen in force or intensity, as wrath, grief, harshness, or pain; moderate.
2.
to make less severe: to mitigate a punishment.
3.
to make (a person, one’s state of mind, disposition, etc.) milder or more gentle; mollify; appease.
–verb (used without object)
4.
to become milder; lessen in severity.

I just stumbled upon your show. I watched this one and I’m anxious to watch the rest. I’m new to recording and would love to hear sound samples of the problem sound and the fixed sound when you do shows like this. I would also like to hear comments and examples of the benefits of miking an amp vs direct with a pod, etc.

Thanks.
