hey what's up tib Willington here and yeah so this is my studio it's kind of boring right I have a lot of things I want to do and improve in here but I haven't gotten to them yet just because we just haven't really been here for that long and I have a lot of other projects around the house that need to need more attention and that kind of taking priority but I wanted to start working on something so today I just kind of want to show you cuz I kind of started working on that and I wanted to show you yeah the progress so welcome well I have carpet in here which helps a little bit with sound the walls are a little bit too naked which encourage yourself to just bounce right off of them and right back into the recording microphone which is not a good catalyst for the good quality of recording so I'm trying to take care of that a little bit step by step now the plan is not to cover the entire walls with acoustic foam and turn the entire room into a sound booth and no and the purpose here is to reduce the amount of balanced sound that might be contaminating the recordings that we do in here due to how baggage and empty the studio is in comparison to a regular furnished room I'll be covering the biggest percentage of each wall but not the entire wall luckily when I was looking on options of what I want to put in here in which foam I should be getting and what design and how I should put it up there our resume offered to help me out and they sent me acoustic foam free of charge so thanks guys now if you didn't know who they are they are makers of all sorts of sound treatments I'll put a link to their site so you can check out their collection they have a bunch of different colors and styles and sizes if you do in a sort of recording I recommend you go check them out they actually have free acoustic foam towel samples right now so go look at them maybe order yourself some samples and see if you like them I got red and black pyramid design here and I'm going to be putting up on these wall I'm gonna be framing the foam here just because I think it looks better than just a bare foam border but this is not something that you have to do but if you decide to do something like this - as you make your measurements make sure you account for a little bit of size variation some of my black tiles were about a quarter inch bigger than the red ones and I know the foam needs at least 48 hours to fully get back to its size but these have been given at least over a week so I don't think that's the issue here and it's not a huge deal but I thought I would put it out there just so you know and if you have to make in a sort of cards I just use the miter saw and it worked like a charm um you can probably use scissors too but I feel like it would be hard to get this clean straight card with with scissors straight cut straight card straight cut straight cut yeah that's the word cut straight cut when time to put up the tailor's came which was the next day after framing I used their sticky tape to install most of the tiles onto the wall and it seems to be holding pretty well so far for the rest of the house I used regular double-sided tape from the store and it seems to be holding pretty well to the form is fire retardant I put it to a test and this was the outcome for comparison I have this regular foam here and as you can see here as soon as the flame touches it it burns like whew oh but on the other hand the acoustic foam does not burn as easily it burns but not as easily discouraged is fire from spreading as fast as it does on the regular foam so yes it is fire retardant anyways with everything hanging up secure this is how it turned out I'm happy with the outcome and I'm excited for how the room will look like and sound when I get all the walls done so go to this side check out what they have and see what you might like and if you decide you want something for yourself use this code at check out and you will get 10% of your total order thanks for watching this one I will see you in the next one peace
