Arnel is a legend! 🙌 Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for your kind words about my work! I was really flattered to read your comment, and it means a lot to me that you enjoyed the transformation my studio can provide.
 I understand your point about not seeing prices on the website. My goal is to offer competitive and affordable pricing while providing top-notch service. 

 In fact, I have the most competitive price for recording time in my city, despite having professional-level gear that other studios charge close to $100 an hour for. Currently, my hourly recording rate is almost half this, and I offer a special day rate for 8 hour sessions.
 On the other hand, for mixing and production work, I believe in connecting with my clients one-on-one to truly understand their vision and find a scope of work that fits their desired sound and available budget. 

 I've found that having one price for mixing doesn't really work as a full pop arrangement has a completely different scope of needs than a simple acoustic singer-songwriter tune. While my team and I can accommodate any project you can throw our way, I price based on the amount of work that needs to be done, so to avoid a disconnect between the target the client has envisioned and the posted price. This is why I encourage potential clients to reach out to get a quote on my mixing services. My prices are designed to give people the top-quality sound they dream of at rates that working-class musicians can actually afford. No funny business, no price gouging-just fair and transparent pricing, as I personally went through similar challenges as an artist and an intern at larger commercial studios.
 If you'd like to learn more or discuss any projects you may be interested in pursuing, I'd love to chat with you. Feel free to contact me at: Robert @ back burner studios dot ca.
 Thanks again for your support and for taking the time to check out my work!
 Best regards,
 Rob

Hmmm.....Good question. Old landline phones are getting trickier to find at thrift stores, but it you get lucky you can find one for $5-$15. Sometimes you can find someone with a box of them in online classified ads. If you have an old cable you're willing to sacrifice, you can cut and solder the ends and you're done! If you don't have those materials you could grab a basic soldering pen for around ~$15, and another ~$10 for a roll of solder. A good Neutrik connector or plug will cost you around $5, and a foot of cabling might be another couple of bucks. All in you're looking ~$60USD at the top. Obviously this adds up initially, but its well worth the investment if you're looking to get into more DIY projects. I've hand soldered every cable in my studio so I know they work, are designed custom for my space, and are of the highest quality possible. And if something isn't working I know I can probably fix it, and the onus is on me to do so. :P Now just in case you're not up to doing all this for a fun effect, I'm working on a video thats coming out on Sunday about how to make a SM58 sound just like a telephone call. I'll link that to you when it's out! Hope this helps, Thank you for watching and best of luck with your future projects :D

@@LearnAudioEngineering thank you so much! That’s less expensive as I thought it be! I really appreciate it!

this appeared to be the case! what was 'missing' from one track ended up on another track somewhere, all the content gets divided into 4 parts.

@@LearnAudioEngineeringYes well spoken that’s a much better way to say it haha.

Awesome! Thank you for watching, I appreciate the sub! Just a quick note, If you are looking at treating a space for recording or listening I would NOT recommend using foam. You may enjoy my most recent video demonstrating the differences between rockwool panels, and acoustic foam. ua-cam.com/video/8FvtRJHHr1M/v-deo.html Hope this helps! :D

Thank you for watching and for your detailed feedback!
 I appreciate your perspective on the differences between sound isolation and acoustic treatment. In the video where I build these panels, I actually conducted the test you're describing. 

 My goal for this test was to illustrate the dramatic difference in effectiveness of absorbing sound between acoustic foam and rockwool. Nowhere in the video do I suggest that this setup is intended for soundproofing. But it’s worth mentioning that rockwool is commonly used in home construction and is effective in reducing sound transfer between rooms, making it a versatile material for both acoustic treatment (Hung on walls/ceilings) and sound isolation (when used in the construction stage.) All the walls/ceilings in my recording/mixing rooms are filled with it. 

 What sound doesn't pass through the panel from the speaker is absorbed, illustrating which frequency areas the treatment will affect. In short, high frequencies are more easily absorbed, while lower frequencies take much more insulation to absorb. The test shows this, albeit crude. Your suggestion for a comparison with mics in a target listening position is a great idea, and I'll consider incorporating that into future videos. Thanks again for your input!

@@LearnAudioEngineering Hey, thanks for following up! I do like this test, and it's awesome to hear you've done (and are planning to do) other stuff like this. I have been following your channel for this reason for quite a while, and I enjoy your semi-casual takes on these matters a lot. Was not my intention to be condescending in any way! I guess what rubbed me the wrong way is this video's title, combined with your very first words: "we're going to be comparing the effectiveness of different types of acoustic treatment", after which you continue to demonstrate the absorption/isolation. For a person looking for basic info on how to treat their room acoustically, this might be misleading, possibly. It's rather easy to see/hear this and think this will translate 1:1 to a better acoustic treatment e.g. for mixing -- which it might, of course, but that doesn't seem to be the purpose of the video. Looking forward to upcoming stuff like this :)

Yeah, thats fair. I really appreciate the feedback and will design a more accurate test in the future. I mainly just wanted to show how much foam sucks for acoustics, but maybe theres better ways to do that. Thanks for keeping me honest. I appreciate the support. :D

​@@dalizoomwhile I do get what you are trying to say.. in principle, this video does still perfectly illustrate the range of frequencies within which any of the shown options will be effective. Your assertion that the microphones need to be 'on the same side as the sound source' seems to miss what I think the video is trying to demonstrate. I don't think @LearnAudioEngineering was trying to show what the room would sound like if you used a specific type of treatment. I took the test to be a demonstration of which frequencies each material/thickness would have an effect on. Obviously, one could get far more into the weeds with this subject. For instance, sound that encounters a wall mounted panel will actually pass through the absorptive material twice before reaching the listener's ear (once as it hits the panel, and a second time as it reflects off of the solid wall surface and passes back out toward the room). This effectively doubles the absorption of a panel at any given frequency (Moreso if the panel is spaced away from the wall). That said, if something like acoustic foam (which is mostly useless for studio treatment) only absorbs something like 5% of the sound energy at 1kHz.. doubling that effectiveness is still basically nothing. I tend to consider an absorption coefficient of anything less than 0.4 to indicate a material is NOT effective at that given frequency. [For reference, my mix-room measures +/- 3~4dB below 100Hz and +/- 1.5~2.5dB above 100Hz...before the room correction (Trinnov) is applied. With the Trinnov active, the room measures something like +/- 2.5dB below 100Hz and +/- 1.5dB above 100Hz]

@@stringsdiezel oh yeah, absolutely agree. The video shows important things for sure, but what I missed there (in the beginning, ideally, or in the title/description) was the actual point/purpose. You and me, we can get the right information from this video due to our experience and/or knowledge; but I'm guessing a lot of people who are starting out or planning their first treatment -- might get the "wrong" conclusions from this. Although honestly, they will probably do good if they just avoid the foam and get some of the stuff presented in the video :)

always room for improvement :D

sometimes 3 inches is all you need :P

Yo, good to see ya! thanks for watching

would love to see it, Tony!

These are great tips, Jeremy. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge!

Yep. Though if I remember correctly he used the Avalon VT-737sp instead of the DBX when recording In Da Club with 50 Cent. And the signal chain is finished with the SSL 4000 E and Studer tape machine.

sure!

Good point, Mark! I had similar thoughts about the M chip requirements. To me ChromaGlow feels somewhere between SoundToys Decapitator and a stripped down version of Fab Filter Saturn. But those both sound great even on my i5 laptop :P Edit: Come to think of it...the RipX stem separation worked fine without the M chip. 🤔 Thanks for watching! I appreciate your comment.

Interesting point! I mean the RipX stuff worked fine on i7 🤔

Hi! Great question. In order to get the signal into your computer you would need an audio interface like this: Scarlett Solo: www.amazon.ca/Focusrite-SCARLETT-SOLO-3RD-GEN-USB-Audio-Interface/dp/B07QR6Z1JB?th=1 If you're making a telephone microphone like this, and you don't want to use the male XLR plug used in the video, you could use a 1/4" male TRS end instead, similar to what you would plug into a guitar amp. You would plug this into your audio interface, which would connect to your computer via USB. hope this helps, sorry if any of the information was over-explained. Please feel free to ask any follow up questions. Alternatively, If you have a USB microphone that you regularly use, you could always process that to sound like a telephone. What DAW are you using? perhaps I could make a video on this. (Thanks for the idea :D)

Hey, heres a new video about how to make any mic sound like a telephone: ua-cam.com/video/7vTsABsY7B0/v-deo.html

love it!
