- It's finally here.
So, if you wanna learn how to soundproof a room,
using acoustic foam panels,
and if you wanna know if acoustic foam panels
really help improve the sound quality of a room,
this is the video for you.
So, as you can probably tell,
I'm pretty excited about this package.
And I mentioned it in my last video.
But ever since I've been filming my camera bag short series,
I've noticed that my room is a little bit echo-y.
So today I'm going to try and fix it,
using acoustic foam panels.
So, I knew nothing about acoustic foam panels.
So I decided to go online,
and see what other people were doing.
And I came across a video by a guy named DJ Reminisce.
And I'll put a link to his video down below.
But I'm using different acoustic panels
than he is, these are two-inch thick pure acoustic panels,
and they're one foot square.
I ordered these from a company out in Calgary,
I believe their name is pronounced Deelat,
but I'll put a link to their website in the description,
as well.
And I was very pleased to find out,
that when I opened the package,
there was almost twice as many panels as I'd ordered,
this is not a sponsored video,
they had no idea that I was making this video,
and I just think that it was a cool that happened,
kinda lucky,
and if you are planning on buying panels from them,
do not expect almost twice as many panels,
again, I just think that it was kind of luck.
So, what DJ Reminisce did in his video
is he put a cardboard backing onto his foam panel,
using a spray adhesive, like this.
And then, he put command strips in the back in the corners,
I'm using indoor mounting tape,
but you can really use any kind of two-sided tape.
And the benefit of using the tape is that,
you can mount the cardboard backing onto your wall,
without completely destroying it.
- Now, getting to install foam isn't actually that hard,
and I'll show you the way I'm gonna do it,
so I don't actually destroy my walls.
And if you wanna follow the same thing,
I guarantee you will not destroy your walls,
you may wreck them a little bit, but you won't destroy them.
- So, the setup that I have for my room is,
it was kind of tricky to figure out,
because I have this big wall here,
and it's just a closet of sliding doors.
So, what I've figured out,
is that if I put
some panels here, and on this sliding door,
then I don't have to worry about this one,
because all I have to do is open it up like this,
and these are all clothes,
so it absorbs a lot of sound.
So, I don't really have to worry about that one.
And I'm also going to put some panels on this door,
on this little bit of wall,
and on this door.
So I have a good setup going, and don't worry,
I'm not going to bore you with a giant montage
of me setting up these panels,
I'll just see you in two seconds,
bye.
(laughs)
So it's an hour later,
and I have all of the acoustic panels on my walls,
let me just show you guys real quick,
there we are, so it was a very easy process,
as soon as you get the cardboard backing
on the back of the panels,
it's pretty easy,
just peel off the dual-sided tape,
and stick it on the wall,
it doesn't have to be perfect,
because in most cases,
you're not going to be filming the,
acoustic foam,
it's just going to help improve,
the sound in the room.
So, already,
I've noticed a big difference in the audio quality,
and,
it's, like, just right now,
I haven't even listened to the video clips and post,
but right now, just listen to this clap.
(claps)
There's almost no echo,
so it's absolutely fantastic.
And we started the video by asking the question,
do acoustic panels actually work?
And I believe that they do,
just based of off what I'm hearing right now,
it sounds fantastic,
so it's something that if you guys want to improve
the audio quality in your room, I recommend investing in,
because it's pretty easy to set up,
and they have an amazing effect.

and I'll see you guys next time.
