Guys please don't stop making these videos. I've been a musician for 20 years.....wow...and I've just started engineering 1 year ago. I have been flooding myself with as much quality info on how to be the best I can. I never understood how important the sound engineer was and how difficult a musician can make it. Please keep making quality, and the quantity will come.

I have avoided using fiberglass based panels like those here and instead use Rockwool, it is not stiff like those, but does come in a role 15 1/2 inches wide, and can be easily place in 3 1/2 inch thick pine frames, then covered with cloth material front and back. They work awesome.

It's highly recommended that you place these panels around 1 inch from the wall. The air gap is very important.

@dumpeeplarfunny 5 жыл бұрын

I've seen a lot of videos that say that exact same thing. Some people even go as far as having two layers of air, one between the insulation and the panel's cover, and the second between the insulation and the wall. Is that necessary, or is that overkill?

Yes to Rockwool safe and sound, either doubling the depth of the panels for lower mid band absorption and keeping 1-2 inches off wall. Wondering why didn’t you cut super chunks for corners, ie 2x2 cut diagonally and stacked up to ceiling, a thin panel in a corner isn’t as effective.

To harden the edges of the panels use Roman-543 or Roman-838 Adhesive. This is the stuff people use for wallpaper and is exactly the same stuff as No-Frame Edge Coating, only available at any hardware store and is 1/4 the price of No-Frame. I discovered this after buying No-Frame and comparing it to the Roman-543 I had recently used for wallpapering a room. It is identical and performs exactly the same way. It's just glue that soaks into the panels and dries hard. Hope this helps someone save some money.

Thanks also for including your materials list. Although I didn't hear you mention overall cost. Do you have a ballpark estimate? At least for doing 6 since thats the pack the fiberglass comes in?

This is prolly the most concise video on frameless panels. Noe sure no air gap, but thats not always nesscerray for everyone. Yes the panels perform down to lower frequencies with an air gap but thats not always 100% nesscerray. Also the edge hardner... yeah use more than recommended. Alot more. 2 days to dry. But yes the edge hardness will depend on how heavy ya applicationof it.

Another excellent video from Victor and Musora. I appreciate the Primacoustic recommendation. The Primacoustic "London 12" kit looks good for my room. In my mind, the bass traps and other long panels would be mostly behind and beside my kit, with the 12 little squares arranged together on the other side of the room. Would that be generally OK? Right now, I'm just using sound blankets around the room perimeter. Thanks, and can't wait for the official launch of Recordeo!

@numeromusiq1906 6 жыл бұрын

First off Great video really learned a lot, for sure a cheap why to make panels without any frame. Wondering if you were able to keep the panels 2 inches away from the wall with the impalers? I've typically heard that's it's best to keep the panels about 2" away from the wall.

@RecordeoOfficial 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yes, if you can create an air gap behind the panels, there effective absorption range can extend downward up to another octave below. For our room, we really did not have a build up of low frequency energy, as it's a garage and the vast majority of that portion of sound is escaping through the garage door...it's kind of a blessing and a curse being in a garage :). I do definitely highly recommend you create an air gap in your home studios that are inside of the house though. You can use something called "offset impalers" for this.

Build a simple wooden frame out of distressed and stained pine 1x3 boards to surround the panels for an attractive edge appearance and get the absorptive material away from the wall. Home Depot can cut the raw boards to length for you, then you take them home and beat the crap out of them with various instruments of death (just don't hit them so hard that they crack), then sand and stain, pre drill pilot holes, then fasten with screws (I like Deckmate star-drive coated screws for everything and they come in different colors). You can then hang these frames from the wall using hooks. I think a touch of stained wood makes for a much more professional look than putting a bunch of soft cloth covered pads all over the walls.
