When a sound wave hits a flat surface, like a bare wall, it bounces off the wall. If the room has primarily flat surfaces, the sound will reverberate as the waves bounce off all the surfaces. To your ears (and to a microphone), it will sound like an echo. The smaller the space, the tighter the echo. This is a big part of the reason why an untreated room sounds less desirable on camera.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When recording audio, you\u2019ll capture direct sound and reflected sound. Direct is from the source right to your ears or your recording device. Reflected sound is what is bouncing off the walls and being captured slightly later. It\u2019s also what causes distortion, echo, and other audio problems. There are two ways to help minimize these unwanted audio elements: absorption and diffusion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Absorption<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is exactly what it sounds like. Using the materials we\u2019ll cover below to absorb as much of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primacoustic.com\/broadway-panels\/science\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">excess sound waves<\/a> as possible before it hits the microphone. While this isn\u2019t 100% effective, it generally does an amazing job of helping control the sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Diffusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gikacoustics.com\/how-diffusion-works\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Diffusion <\/a>takes that excess sound, and scatters it into different directions. Typically, this is used in conjunction with absorption. When absorption works well, sometimes the room will sound too empty. Utilizing diffusion materials will take any remaining excess sound and spread it around to create an even, natural tone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Room Evaluation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you get to the materials and setup, it&#8217;s important to evaluate the room you plan on using to make sure that you can achieve exactly what you want. The wall materials, windows, and the general shape and size of your room will all be a factor in your audio treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the get-go, you should just assume the room you choose to work in won\u2019t have the best acoustics. Take a cathedral for example, the acoustics are brilliant for a reason. That room was designed from the ground up to produce an amazing sound experience. Most bedrooms or offices are not built with sound in mind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Designing Your Acoustic Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the wall materials and dimensions of your space, you\u2019ll want to address the way sounds travel in the room itself. And, any sources of background noise, like windows, air conditioners, or fridges will have to be mitigated or removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Live End Dead End (LEDE)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The general idea is to adjust the amount of sound reflected in the space by using one end of the room to absorb more sound than the other.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The live end is usually behind the person listening or the device recording and opposite the source of sound. It reflects some sound back into the room to create a natural-sounding audio environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cdead end\u201d of the room refers to the half of the room that is set up to deaden sound and absorb more of it than the \u201clive end\u201d. This LEDE setup will ensure the sound reflecting off the live end will be absorbed by the dead end, resulting in cleaner audio.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"sproutvideo-player\" src=\"https:\/\/videos.sproutvideo.com\/embed\/799cd7be1014e5c3f0\/76a6af340b4c89e6?autoPlay=true&amp;background=true&amp;loop=true\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h3>Alternative Setups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While a live-end-dead-end setup might work for your space, there are other approaches that might fit the bill depending on the acoustic treatment you\u2019re looking for. We wanted less reverb because of the types of filming we would be doing in our studio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After consulting with some audio pros, they recommended alternating live and dead zones on different walls to allow for some room noise, but less reflection overall. We mounted different types of sound absorption panels on the walls, and hung baffles from the ceiling to create this setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Background Noises<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our main background noise challenge came from the window in the studio. Even though it overlooks a courtyard, it lets in a significant amount of street noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scan your space for anything that could create background noise. Fridges, HVAC systems, and street noise are typical culprits. It can be as easy as turning off the appliance or device during filming, or you may have to take extra measures like we did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We doubled up a furniture blanket to create a large, stiff panel that fit perfectly in the window frame. We also rigged a pulley system to be able to raise and lower it to let in light when we weren\u2019t filming. Finally, we added heavy-duty stage curtains with noise-blocking material sewn on in an additional layer for added noise absorption. We suspended them from the top of the window frame with a large tension rod and a ceiling bracket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as unexpected noises, that could be anything from an excited child, a dog barking at a mailman, or even a siren in the distance. You\u2019ll want to control your environment as much as possible, but also be flexible since some things we just can\u2019t control.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We used several different items to reduce the amount of sound reflected off the walls in our studio. Ultimately, we went with a mix of purchased and <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@mp911de\/diy-acoustic-mixing-room-treatment-ea644e83246f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">DIY solutions<\/a> to create a custom acoustic treatment in our studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Acoustic Panels<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many solutions for acoustic panels out there, from DIY to professional-grade products.

Depending on what they\u2019re made of, ceilings and floors can reflect sound just like any other flat surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We constructed baffles to hang from the ceiling using the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Furniture blankets<\/li><li>Styrofoam pieces<\/li><li>Grommets<\/li><li>Ceiling hooks<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/d9pfvpeevxz0y.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/101420_3-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d9pfvpeevxz0y.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/101420_3-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/d9pfvpeevxz0y.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/101420_3-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/d9pfvpeevxz0y.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/101420_3-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/d9pfvpeevxz0y.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/101420_3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d9pfvpeevxz0y.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/101420_3.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4>Window Treatment&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you need a window treatment or not really depends on how noisy your environment is.
