Dispelling MYTHS about acoustic foam

so what panels do you suggest for streaming that are affordable?

What is the type of the greenish foam?

Foam is to reduce reverb not soundproofing

I have put some mass loaded vinyl, it has reduce reduce bitchy neighbour voice but the for the furnture moving sound I can still hear them.

Another person on another video said that Bass frequencies are very hard to get to not leak without legit expensive wall soundproofing stuff which you put on the inside of a wall when it is built which is why I suggest not placing a subwoofer in a house that has very poor to little soundproofing from downstairs to upstairs, upstairs to downstairs, from room to room, or any combination of those things. I also recommend playing a bass with an interface and headphones if you can't afford to get a super soundproof music room. I am lucky to have my house soundproof enough so that neighbors at other houses will not really hear things from my room unless my interfaces has a volume set super high. For smaller rooms, smaller monitor speakers exist and some small amps could even get usable tones for records to my ears plus mine and some others don't need a subwoofer to have enough bass to my ears. I bet a subwoofer might make the sound of my speakers too bassy for my tastes and I prefer flatter audio speakers and headphones. The m40x was my choice for headphones and there was many I tried at a store, even ither audio technica ones and they were the most accurate for the price range. Some people say ear fatigue could develop faster from studio monitor stuff, but for my sensitive ears, some of them just are not as painful for me for lots of audio as many other non studio monitor ones are.

You look so awkward bro

So how would I help my parents sleep as I yell at little kids on call of duty

sir suggest me a mic for Android device for voice over..

Its good reverb reduction not isolation and high and mid end only

A lot of people say foam is good for soundproofing simply because they’re confusing the term with sound deadening or removing reverb.

This was the best example ever

Man... So what CAN I use? there are so many videos that shit on everything but provide no alternative

Dont listen this guy. Its not about reduction of noise pollution , its more to avoid sound bouncing of the walls - for better monitoring and mixing of your track . Get a foam

"physics is a bitch" well said 😂😂😂

Since I know people A mix up terms and B don’t understand the difference , sound proofing = blocking out or reduce out side noise from getting in to the room or vise versus , acoustic treatment = reducing echo and reverb and reflections , foam is more for acoustic treatment not sound proofing

lol he is funny as fuck , hello from Scotland

Expressions remains the same.

Your video is great. It gets to the point, at least conparatively faster than all these other fools with their dumb 10 min video wasting time.

The start of the video was the most straight to the point explanation i’ve ever said and the fact he kept a straight face 😂

Tnkx

thanks. you just saved me time, money and a lot of disappointment.

Cause acoustic foam was never intended for sound proofing. Click bait.

It definitely works for me and a lot of other circumstances.

My man is looking at the camera as if he told it earlier in the day,
“ME...YOU...After school At 3PM SHARP In The Parking Lot....Don’t Be Late Wussy.”

😂😂😂😂

This the dude from metalocalypse?

Someone call 911, i swear there's a guy pointing a gun at that man!

What about eggs cartons...filled with eggs!?

Super useful dude, thanks for allowing me to not make a mistake

Nah I'm not here for your guitar playing

This video was awesome! It's educational, and entertaining with your sense of humor lol! Thanks!

So... is he gonna murder me now?

ok so what then.....

Thank You, Musician Jesus!

The whole time after first 10 sec, I lost the point of the video expecting him to blink, at least once!

Low frequency noise is less "jarring" if you will
But I think its designed for more of an every day kind of soundproofing or echo elimination, reducing noise from conversation, etc.

Wow you come across as a higher than anywone twat in this video.

Hey I have a tiny room filled with stuff would it even need any acoustic treatment or anything like that to sound the best it can? Or is it ok on its own since it's full of stuff?

I use both the foam and rockwool and here I am wondering why they sell foam if it’s useless, and this answered my question.

If you have bass traps and panels and use foam to kill the reverb and echo in the room is it totally useless then??

I got like 3 to 4 inch foam in my room. Not alot but in good places. Plus I have an audio correction software for mixing etc. Works well for me but when I get my own place I'd get panels and soundproof it with wool or Owen's corning

ಠ︵ಠ

it’s useless. these foams only absorb the high frequencies, making everything unbalanced.

idiot

Oh yeah, I was worried at first because I saw these foams and was ready to buy them, and you talked about the fact that they aren’t any good for sound dumpling, but then you say that they are great for echo and reverberation cancellation and sound uniformity, which is indeed what I search these foams for. So yeah, let’s go buy those things. Thanks for the clarification !

No one in their right mind would try to "sound proof" with foam. Sound proofing is NOT the same as sound treatment. Considering your points, it's important to make that distinction. Also, leave some room for the holy spirit 👻

Whoever thinks this is for soundproofing needs a ton of reading. But for diffusing and minimizing reverb of course they work

Thanks for the tip man, time to completely fill my room with foam, should make for some interesting recording sessions 🤣
