These panels are ones of the best looking DIY panels I've seen so far.

the card stock idea is perfect, finally something new!

dude great job! I absolutely love how these turned out! I have made more basic looking 2 by 4 panels before, but I am such a huge fan on having the wood frame on the outside! Great work

Clever design, I like the exposed wood. Was planning to make 'speaker grills' to achieve it. Thank you for sharing.

BEST ONE YET SUPER DOPE !!!

I appreciate you so much, thank you for the ideas and AWESOME content, you gave me inspiration to assemble my own panels 👌🏾🔥

Beautiful panels!! Thanks for the tutorial

Just built mine and they're awesome. I did black on the wood to fit my studio vibe, but it worked like a charm. Love the way they look, and they were easy to make. Thanks for the tutorial!

This is great! Good job with awesome results :) I've seen many DIY videos on this subject, and I have so say that these panels is the winner so far :)

I've watched a lot of DIY panel builds and have built some myself. I've gotta say, these ones look awesome!

Love this. Nice choice with the rockwhool

Nice Job. I have made about 75 now these over the years. Built a bunch for our church. makes a huge difference in sound quality. I may try your method with the exposed wood. They look great. Thank you for sharing. I bet your room sounds amazing. I don't think most people know how critical proper room treatment is to consistently good mixes. CRITICAL!!

That was so Helpful Man Thanks a lot!

Just made 1 out of 3 so far! I even went in with a stain to darken up the wood. I hope it helps overall! Great video.

THAT IS JUST AMAZING BRO! i'M building my first one now. One layer.

Wow this us unlike any other acoustic panel build ive seen! Nice job!

by far the best looking ones ive seen. nice work m8

Best video so far

Love how they turned, one of the best locking DIY acoustic panels I've ever seen. Great video !!

Great build looks good 👍

Well done, mr. !

Love the content! I've also made my own acoustic panels and made a video about it. I love those things!

Excellent video

thank you for share.

Wow, that's an impressive studio space! Great video man

Great job! I bet you're liking how your low end sounds Huh✊🏽Thanks for sharing

Look almost identical to how I made mine. I felt Pine was the most attractive wood and I used a Navy fabric from IKEA. Look real nice. Nice one man. Great minds.

Great job little Buddy,I will suscribe

Very creative and right no the money !!

Nice job.

Good stuff man! Very similar to the gobos I made!

gallon and pint paint stirrer sticks works well in place of card stock. As far as price- wood, fabric and insulation will cost about $170 if you're doing 1 insulation bag worth of 6" panels. This is definitely the cleaner look out of most panel DIY vids on KZfaq

hey buddy I tried your technique with the card stock (my girlfriend had some!) and left the frame exposed this time, nice! I like it! big up!!

Amazing looking panels and great tutorial! I'm planing to make some bass traps that cover floor to ceiling and was wondering if you think it's better to make them in 2 separate panels or 1 big panel. Take care!

Hey Tano, thanks for the great guide to making panels. I like your design and I'm planning to follow it to make my own. I'm thinking of making the gobos with one side fabric and the other side...sort of a sound scattering panel - so I can experiment with different sounds when I'm recording. I might even go thicker than 6 inches for the gobos so I can stack them with less chance of them falling over. I was wondering - if you were making these again, would you follow the exact same design, or would you make any changes? Also, do you have any recommendations for types of fabric? I'd like to be able to pick some nice colors.

for gobos should of put a hard back on them with something like masonite. Gobo are made to absorb on one side and reflect away on the other to keep other things from leaking in. Like when surrounding drums, to box in an amp for a session.

Nice!! 🔥

Dam. Looks pretty. 🔥

Love your channel :)

Great looking panels thx for sharing. You find double layers is good for high and mid frequencies. What about for your bass traps. Thx.

dope music, sick that they slam so hard bruh

yo this is that moment youtube just hooks you up without asking. Thank you this has helped a lot

Good job

Good work 💯

10 minutes of sanding. Awesome.

This is the best one yet! Thanks for posting. I will be following your plans (but only one layer, 3" thick for more coverage per pack of Rockwool in my 11' x 10' room). Do you have any issues with the insulation sagging after a while?

Good job. What do you guys think will the microscopic fibers manage to go out of the frame after some time due to the vibrations of the room?

Hey Tano! Great vid. Made a couple of panels with this video and all went well. Just wondering, how are you mounting your panels to the wall?

If you want this to look even better, avoid visible screws and joinery. Pickup some Tightbond II wood glue, and a $20 pocket-hole jig and you can place the screws on the inside of the frame. Pocketholes aren't strong enough to hold so they're really only used to keep the frame together while the glue dries. Then add a cross beam in the middle, any piece of scrap wood, you need this or the frame will bow on you over time. Once the frame is assembled, sand, pre-coat, stain with a rich finish and then a semi-glossy clear-coat. Shit will look like a million bucks. And then the biggest mistake we all make is using BLACK fabric, when you get a studio filled with these it's the ultimate light suck. It's not "vibey" or "moody" it's just dark and teenage-bedroom-y. My first panels were all black like these above and no matter how many lamps I added my studio could not be lit up. It just felt claustrophobic. The second set I made were with a medium-dark wood stain (Varathane "American Walnut"). and then an off-white acoustic fabric (Guilford of Maine - Anchorage: White) and the contrast is beautiful. Replacing my black panels with the white ones just completely opened up the room, feels way bigger and lamps actually have an effect. I can still keep it dim and moody but it's way nicer to work in -- and looks pro. There's a couple pics of the ceiling panels I built like this on my website, if anyone gives a shit. I also drilled 3" holes along the sides of the frames which helps with bass response and has the benefit of looking nice: www.commongroundarts.com/studio/

Would you recommend using these for ceilings? I'm thinking the corners are stable enough to drill hooks into and use ceiling screw hooks to mount them.

I love the build and great job with the camera work, very well explained. Maybe switch it up with the music next time?

Thanks alot!! One question, what 2 fabrics are you using??

Nice! Curious; do the bass traps work as well as the big triangle ones from GIK, etc. ?

Hi. It looks like to the right, you have a first generation CAD E300. Nice and rare to see today. I am wondering how you like that microphone, what you use it for and on, and how it compares to, what looks like, your Neumann TLM 102?

Hey nice looking panels. Where or in what store did you buy the Sta-Green ultimate weed barrier? Thank you.

Looks great but how do you know if porous materials absorb actual low end frequencies?

Good video. The next best improvement you could do to your monitoring would be getting rid of that big desk. You will have a major shift in the imaging and low mid definition which has been getting masked by reflections and resonances from your desk.

Great tutorial! What tipe of material did you use, and and with what density?

Maaaan what's up 😊 hope you are fine dear . Perfect and useful 👌

Great job!! What kind of fabric did you put in front?

do you have a direct link to the insulation you use? the 16" rockwool seems to come in two different sizes 4 ft. x 3 in. x 16.25 in. and another in 4 ft. x 3 in. x 15.25 in. I would like to know exactly the one you use so that my insulation fits perfectly into the frame measurements you provided.

sweeeeeeeet

Great video!! But what is “card stock”?

Great to finally find a video with exposed wood. Thank you! This was great. Why the card stock though? Couldnt you have stapled the fabric straight to the wood?

When stacking the bass traps is there any sort of base or stand going on, or is the stack just leaning into the corner?

hi , thanks for the video , can I ask what size of screw and pilot drill would be use so no the wood to slit ,,thanks

Not sure if it's stated somewhere I am missing - but what did this end up costing you overall? And how many packs of Rockwool did you use? Seems like you must have gone through 4-5 packs plus all the wood & fabric - seems like a real investment in this case

Hi, do you find that the wood frames are wobbly at all without reinforcing them with corner brackets? These look great but most videos talk about rectangular frames of this style needing support to stay stable.

Hi, I’m just wondering if you wish you had put supports on the inside of the frame or even a crossbar at the halfway point to also support the insulation? Do you find the insulation sag or pushes on the fabric overtime?

great tutorial and workmanship! Just one note on the sound of the video itself. It seemed to me that there is a very high volume jump between your narrative and background music (when you don't speak). Otherwise, very nice project!

can you go into more detail as to how to stacked the bass traps?

Just finished building 8 of these using your guide, and they turned out AWESOME. Thanks so much!

Do you have an image of them up close before you will them with insulation? I’m trying to make the fabric taught but feel like it still has some wiggle to it but then I pull it further and it’s wayyyy too tight and pulling away from the sides. Sorry for the long comment. Just having a hard time and really want to get these right.

Nice work. Only two suggestions. Buy some clamps to hold the pieces together while you are putting the screws in. Makes the work easier and more accurate. Also, I would probably use some wood glue in addition to the screws. But good work.

I have a question to you sir. Do you use your panels as iso booth in a square formation? What is you iso booth solution? If any.

My feet are itching watching you work with that rockwool with no shoes on. You’re brave lol

Great video Tano, I have a ramdon question, I can see you own a pair of DT770 250 ohms? I also own a pair , my question is , do you use a headphone amp to get a better sound quality or power? I use them with my uad Apollo twin but i find then too quiet for tracking and I can't find much information about headphones amps pair with audio interfaces, I will appreciate your help, thanks

great job!! Where did you get your strips?

Great channel buddy! Go on! Creative success) I will do the same for myself)

Was the wood you used actually 6.0in wide or was it actually 5.5in, like most "1x6" lumber is? Just wondering if off the shelf 1x6 will work or if the insulation would stick out a bit. Sick build by the way

What size screws did you use?

What brand of rockwool is it?

Nice!! Which type of fabric did you use?

Awesome! What was the total cost?

Wow. Now I wish I were handy at all, if I find someone who is I'll come back to this!

Did you make any 3” thick panels or only 6”? If so or not, why? And how is the difference between the two? Seems like having all 6” thick panels would be a bit overkill.

Did u happen to take sound samples before and after ?

these are way thicker than the ones most people make. how much of a difference does that make? the cost is substantially higher in both lumber an insulation.

600 Finish Sandpaper :D Never go higher than 120 at wood.

Should have sample vid, before and after

how much youll charge to make four of these and shipped

wow, is that a saz (or baglama) @3:45 ?

I had a very unpleasant experience with glass wool, how your skin and nose react to this rock wool? Is it better to use the recycled cotton?

How much did everything cost to build? I'm trying to ditch the foam pannels that I have around my walls but I don't wana over spend...

Where can I get cardstock at? I don’t wanna end up buying regular paper lol

good luck finding the Safe N Sound!

You can make them slimmer and keep them a few inches away from the wall and that will double the aborbtion. Really good stuff though. Just more resourceful to do it with the slimmer build I feel. How do you like your recordings and mixes now? I'm sure it's a drastic improvement. I tell people it doesn't matter what gear you get, if it's not recorded in a well treated room then you are missing 80% of the quality (Not including performance).

What is the name of the fabric you use for the back?

what are the dimensions for cutting?

Do you feel comfortable just putting fabric over the insulation? I've heard it can be carcinogenic or make you itchy when exposed, even when covered with fabric
