In this episode, I'm showing you the construction of my sound panels of my recording studio. Acoustic panels can help with acoustic issues in any recording studio, and it doesn't take a lot of money to create some sound panels.

Sound panels have several advantages over studio foam, and building your own acoustic panels will be cheaper as well. Not only will they help reduce splatter of cymbals, but they will help shape the sound of your recording studio.

"Fix it in the mix" is a bad slogan to have. There are better places to fix issues that cause bad sounding recordings. The room is a tool in the studio, just like a microphone, that can be used to shape the sound of instruments we record in the studio. Acoustic sound panels can help shape the sound of the room, almost like adding EQ to a track in your recording program or DAW.

This video is not a step-by-step guide for building panels, but more of a studio tour in which I talk about the sound panels and show you the back of each acoustic panel so you can see how they are constructed.
