Awesome work man!

Great foot work Mike. You have an awesome meter there bro. Love it. Slammn.....

Great playing as always. That studio space makes me drool!

Very very cool my friend. You rocked it! Love the T-shirt too!

Nice work, my friend! Excellent set up, too!

Just fricken Awesome!!!! Great Job Mike. You so kick ass....thanks brother...

Awsome Mike

As many have noted, don’t build a room like this. No floating floor (the first step in sound isolation)?? And no drywall on the inside (between external and internal wall) basically means it’s just a very thick, one room wall. Not to mention, no ventilation… 😮

I've gotta ask, why did you choose to leave off the interior sheet rock of the external wall as well as the outer layer on your interior wall???? This is not sarcasm; I am genuinely curious since I'm in the planning and research phase of building mine.

Thanks thinking of getting either the clarett or Audient… this has helped

how did you anchor the wall bottom to the concrete? Tapcons? I know you mentioned you used a felt type material under the wall between the concrete, wasnt sure if you drilled through that felt to attach structure to existing concrete floor of garage. Thanks

Haven’t liked the Focusrite in any demonstration until this one.

Great results man! Ultimately, impressing the people here who have no idea what they are talking about wasn't your goal, but the "iPhone" dB meter really doesn't do your project justice. One could falsely believe the peaks were @ 100dB and the resulting level drop was only or 14dB with first door closed and 21 with second door closed (peaks), when in reality the peaks on live acoustic drumming are around 130dB. Thus a true drop of 44 and 51dB respectively, and a drop of 62dB (on peaks) outside of garage door. Wow! It would have been cool, for the naysayers here if your neighbor had walked to the street and shown the readings there. Since the "structure" is your new sound transducer, a reading at 1 meter would allow inverse square calculations at the street and at your neighbor's house. But let's use the closed garage door peak of "68" as your 1 meter reading - if the street is 4 meters away, that calculates to 56 at the street. Very impressive. With the distance to your neighbor's homes and further STC of your neighbor's walls, your kit is clearly inaudible in their homes. However, as some mentioned, it could be quite audible an a neighbor's basement, if those are common in your area, as sound travels quite well through concrete and compacted earth, just like is does through water. The only part of your project that appears unnecessary is the use of hat or resilient channel on an already decoupled wall. It would be effective at aiding decoupling of the inner wall from the inner bottom plate, and therefore, the floor, however the kit is sitting on a non-decoupled floor. Either way though, great results! Thank you for sharing your build process.

Audient is really flexible brighten up the snare with low impedance and fatten up the toms with high! Quite noticeable. I've always loved impedance for a ton control.

This guy sounds a bit like Earl from my name is Earl

Hi guys! Wondering if anyone has any data or real world experience on air gap measurements in relationship to STC and hz? My biggest fear is doing all this work and wishing I had sacrificed the extra inch or 2 in room space. Thanks ahead of time for anything you are able to offer up! Best, Troy

Hello I have a Clarett 4 Pre thunderbolt as well. Do you think switching to ID44 would be a step up in sound quality? I usually record voices, acoustic guitars mostly. Thanks

how much would something like this cost to have done? also what would I have to search for when hiring someone? i'm having trouble finding some one to do this job.

I think they're in the same league....converters and preamps.....Impedance control on audient is very usefull though....

SSL G followed by Focusrite are the best imo. E is too harsh and N is kinda muddy.

Man that looks nice, but how much was the cost of everything? I added an extra layer of drywall to my room

Good video, which interface has the best conversion for you?

Audient ASP880 HiZ for the win!

That’s some nice drumming!

i am making my 3rd silent room soon.(moving to new house).. i can tell you you did not do all 100% right.. i tested my room at 116db and outside was 40db.. bedroom it is 100% silent. start in a room with a rubber floor, springs on that. and on the springs comes the new floor. and on the new floor you build the room.. 2 doors 1 for the inner room and 1 for the outer room. isolate strips in both doors and for ventilation just make 2 very long silencers you can ventilate and make 0 sound outside. and calculate the rockwool and caculate the spring loads

How much did something like this cost you? Materials wise mainly...

Level matching on peak is bullshit. LUFS is what works.

First

too kuch blah blah bla chit chat useless crap

Nice video vlog

really cool work, thank you so much for sharing.

Hi! Thank you so much for sharing this... I’m planning on gettinng either an ID 44 or a clarett 4 pre usb to start record my drums. Both of them are able to expand via ADAT when I will get more mics. I’ve been checking everything I can in order to make a more conscious choice. From what I’ve heard here there’s not a huge difference in terms of audio quality. I like the air feature on the snare drum, and I’m not sure if the id44 would have such a similar feature...I plan to use my iPad Pro 10,5” running Auria or Cubasis with the apple camera connection kit, which allows me to go more portable... the id44 seems to be more convenient because I seem to be able to control more parameters once I go to stand alone mode, not having to use the software for turning phantom power on/Off, or using the pad, or the high pass filter... in my current situation, if you had to choose which one would you pick? The id44 or the clarett 4Pre? A friend of mine said that he didn’t like the sound of Audient Pres because they sound too WiFi, where as the clarett Pres sound more warm to him... he said that Audient has quality in their products, but it’s not his sound... I like dirty sounding drums, but I also like the detail and separation of different instruments in the mix... any thoughts on this subjects would be really appreciated..., thank you very much...🙏🙏🙏

too much toys ...for what you play !

Thank you for doing this! They both sound "good". Air appears to add clarity. The Audient appears to have more oomph. Is it really just the interface, that's what I'm wondering? There seems to be more low end on the Audient, slightly more beef. On 2nd listen with higher level in headphones, at first the Audient just sounds "louder", but there does appear to be more detail in the Audient than the Clarett (especially notable with the low tom). The Clarett seems more pleasing to my ear, but my guess is this could be easily dialed in with EQ and Compression on the Audient, while also maintaining a bit more detail with the Audient. Thanks again! p.s. - I have read there are some latency issues with Audient, however, which was disappointing. What is your experience with the latency?

What a waste of time and money, I was curious if it could be engineered to eliminate 100% of sound. Maybe its the drywall and sound is being reflected everywhere instead of being absorbed quicker. Great failure video. That helped so much. Thank you

Rad.....Different that;s for sure. Cool though....

pretty good result. i don't see why ppl are being negative. you can't hear the drums at all once the garage door's closed.... if the goal was getting isolation from the neighbors so you can play any time of day then mission accomplished. if the goal was building a perfectly sound-proofed recording studio with top of the line acoustic treatment, then no... but i think the goal was the former not the latter so ppl shouldn't judge based on their own idea of what they want the application to be... good job

Very cool. How much did everything cost you in the end?

Audient on High Impedance sounds best for me. It has more definied and tight sound

Use the same sounds for all examples!! WTF!?

NIce test, thanks! It (seems) pretty clear that each option adheres to it's reputation: the Presonus XMAX preamps sound basically clear, and maybe a tad fatter (by comparison) with the Focusrite, which has (a bit) more high end detail, and we definitely hear the AIR setting's upper midrange crispness. Very helpful example!

Carmen, would you be so kind to do a video where you show how you frost and pipe the resulted frosting. May be some decorating tips with it? Thank you.... I want to know every little bit about decorating with this product.

Don’t say Arsis ripped your video idea when your idea isn’t even original video

alot of work but doesnt seem to be that effective

I don't understand why you compromised the room to have in wall power outlets throught the green glued double gypsum. If you wanted inwall stuff, you'd create another simple wall inside to have installations. If not, you would just do an installations runway along the walls.
