Transform Your BEDROOM Into a STUDIO (On a Budget) with Westlake Pro | ADAM Audio

----- THE GEAR IN THIS VIDEO -----

Today we talked with Mark Ellis of Westlake Pro in Nashville on ways you can transform your typical apartment bedroom into a functional mix and vocal studio... From the acoustic treatment, to the desk placement, to the microphone & studio monitor choice. We understand this is not the ideal situation when it comes to a studio build, but we also know it's what a lot of people are working in, so we wanted to give a few ways that you can make it a bit more functional, so you can mix & produce more confidently.

We understand this setup is far from ideal, but we hope it helps for all those in quarantine, needing some guidelines on where to start when it comes to turning your bedroom into a studio. If you have questions leave them below! 👍

Step 1 - sell your bed for speakers and sleep on the floor! The quality of the voice recordings improved massively once the panels went up!

If this is a low end home studio, then mine is a potato

[eingoluq]

I like how the audio quality improves as the video progress and they continually add items.

Wow, an apartment studio build where the people doing it ACTUALLY know what they are talking about and understand acoustics. Thanks for the video

I think people are missing the point that this is a studio in a "bedroom" in an apartment for actual professionals who are taking clients. Not necessarily for someone who's just recording their own stuff or with friends for fun. The goal is to make the room feel and function as much like a professional studio space as possible.
Really nice video

What kind of magical acoustic properties do Himalayan rock salt lamps possess and how many do we need?

[EarReadMusic]

As much as I would love to configure a room like that. I don't even have a room to do it in. So I just throw one big 220x240cm winter blanket over myself, my speakers and the pc and I am done. Works most of the time. Gets hot though.

So many of us are doing our work in bedrooms so this video covers a lot of ground for many of us!

[ledd]

Hands-down one of the most helpful and straightforward videos about the subject. Thanks!

[ZOBEATS]

I think im addicted to watching studio setups lol Thanks for sharing!

[dpict]

I'm listening in a room that ticks all the boxes a poor listening environment should. My placement isn't great either and in no way does my F7s justice, so this video is just what I need, thank you for taking the time to make it. The difference in the sound of the room at 2:00 and 8:00 is significant which inspires confidence.

[cryptout]

Very honest video! For those that did not catch it, use headphones if your room sucks!!

[LucasDomProject]

this dude didnt bore my ear holes and was actually able to take his words in, the interface thing iv overlooked completely so thanks

Bedroom without a bed just call it a studio

[drumbangerproduction]

If the height of your bedroom is 8ft tall, you can just stack 2 4ft bass traps or insulation panels without drilling into the wall in an apartment and they will stay inplace...I've done this many times in many rooms.
Another trick for windows is to just buy a sheet of sheet rock, cut to size and cover the window and add insulation

I just obey the triangle rule for monitor position and also use only two pieces of sound absorbing material at the point of first reflection for each monitor. Has worked good enough for me in all my home studios.
Plus you can still have a bed in the room this way. Bed soaks up a lot of reflections...
A/B-ing your mix with one that sounds good. And then getting close to it, both in that room, should get a decent mix.
Just get in that room, however it's outfitted for what you can afford, and start creating.

I actually really love how you guys were working with a nonideal situation. It makes me feel better about just doing the best with what I have! Thanks for the video, super solid breakdown :)

How fitting, just received my A3x's for my bedroom Studio. 🔥🔥 Gonna try this setup.

..just paranoid about having my back to the doorway when I'm tuned into my music lol
