Building A Studio - My New Home Studio Pt. 1

[Music] hi everybody hope you're doing marvelously well i'm very excited because this is the beginning of a brand new series of videos and it's all about studio designing and studio building in the house over there we decided to build another studio inside of my kids old bedroom we love this there's too much stuff going on you know we're still doing our five six seven videos a week we're still producing bands mixing bands writing songs doing all the things that we do and we need more space i need a space where i can go in and do live streams and test out tons of new equipment not just this room but a second room as well that's how busy we are and of course also mix and do vocals and all other stuff one of my very very good friends is mike arango now you might say who's michael ranger michael rango was my engineer about 15 or 16 years ago he used to engineer for me back at my old studio in west hollywood mike went to work about 15 years ago when he left for sweet water now so i have a friend over there so when i need something i call up sweet water and buy it directly from them which has always been wonderful because of mike of course is a very talented engineer so when i'm talking to him i know that i'm actually getting really great advice now sweetwater have this thing called the system design package which allows me to effectively build a studio really well and if you want to do that you can go and get a turnkey solution with sweetwater.com install so what i'm going to do first of all is i'm going to call mike up and we are going to talk about all the different panels and everything available also i brought in a guy called gavin havastic who works with sweetwater who's pretty darn amazing so this is a i don't know i'm hoping that this series is a one-stop solution for you where you know where you can buy panels i have to buy them because i work seven days a week i don't have the time to build panels but if you want to build them we can help out with that as well we'll give you some information on building panels as well but the reality is is like this is a step-by-step guide and how to build a good or a great sounding room in a kid's bedroom in your house which i know so many of you are now in that situation or maybe you just live in a one one room apartment anywhere and you want to build yourself a studio whatever it is you're going to enjoy this so without any further ado let's talk to mike arango and figure out how we're going to get this going hey mike how are you hey warren i'm doing right how are you i'm good i'm good so um we are going to take it's a small kid's bedroom and we're going to turn it into another another studio basically i want to have a control room in there that i can mix and master but also you know in the corner put a vocalist in there so it's it's not a big room it's not a big room but i think it's a pretty typical you know kind of kid's bedroom got it do you have um are some photos and some dimensions that you can send over to me yeah absolutely we will send them now so mike you have the uh you have the dimensions there yeah it looks like i have the email here let's take a look at these things so what i'll generally there's a few things to cover when we're looking at a room i guess two big things you know one is going to be of course what the room sounds like inside and we'll get to that with the dimensions and the treatment and everything and then of course the other aspect of it is just how much noise is acceptable to get in and out of the room basically so you know we'll go anything from you know a professional studio or um you know you and i have talked about my studio in in the past the room that i built some of my rooms are room inside of a room you use a couple layers of drywall green glue is a product that's out there there's a lot that you can use to increase transmission loss basically is what we're trying to do to keep noise in and out of a room it sounds like for for your space how much of a concern is that i'm not as concerned about that at least not from isolation from the rest of the house but what okay i think the only thing to take into account is the windows is to just make sure that there is not excessive amounts of sound coming out of the window so we're going to have to figure out some treatment for the windows and just something around the door itself you know it's going to it's going to take it's probably a little bit of a challenge but we'll figure it out i think there'll be multiple different solutions and we'll go with the one that's the most feasible i don't have the time to build all these things from scratch so as much as i can purchase the better and hence why we're all here we'll take a look at it so i got the email that you've sent over so one of the first things i'll take a look at before when i'm working on a room with somebody is the the the room mode so i take this information and i'll plug it into a room mode calculator and this is going to take the dimensions and it'll tell us what dimensions and therefore room modes are common between all the different measurements all the different the length and width and height of the room and immediately identify big problem areas basically our problem frequencies in the room there are a number of room mode calculators out there i use one from bob gold over at bobgolds.com recommend checking that one out so of course then after that the the challenge is controlling the room is really what it comes down to so we're going to work on treatment there so whether you buy or build the panels generally they're going to be made out of something like mineral fiber with some acoustically transparent fabric over the top something like a guilford main fabric that'll allow the sound to get through it'll hit the mineral fiber hit the wall come back through the mineral fiber and that's where you're getting your effectiveness every panel is going to have measurements associated with it called absorption coefficients and it basically tells you how well it's working at each frequency that it affects you also can you can take a thinner panel you can take a one or two inch panel and mount it up to i think about four inches off the wall and what happens there is the sound goes through the panel through the air gap hits the wall hits the air gap and comes back through the panel again through the mineral fiber and that actually increases the absorption coefficients at low mid frequencies that's a good trick you'll see some of these rooms some of the rooms that you've worked in warren and some of the rooms out there in l.a you probably know this there are there are base traps in some cases in the back of the room that are eight feet deep that kind of thing luckily in this little room that you have the dimensions of the room modes are evenly spread out and we don't have room for it i have any major challenges but that would leave you about a two and a half feet to set yeah yeah great if you have the time and this and the the space sometimes it makes sense to build bass traps and to to purchase panels and have those sent so you take those and you put them up on the on the wall and that'll control the room hi this is mike from sweetwater i'm here in the live room of my recording studio here in fort wayne indiana just like any other room being used for audio production this room required a little bit of work and treatment in order to get it under control and sounding how it should because of the size of the room about 20 by 15 or so and because of what i was trying to accomplish in here with tighter sounding drums i went primarily with absorption although there is some diffusion in this room and in other rooms in the studio there are plenty of options for absorption everything from diy panels to pre-built to foam and i used all of those in one form or another throughout the studio every material on earth will absorb and or reflect sounds at various frequencies uniquely this can be measured and then represented with a number called an absorption coefficient the higher the number the better that particular material absorbs at that particular frequency so our goal for absorption in the studio is to find the material that will absorb the most evenly across the entire spectrum that we're trying to treat while also taking into account budget and and space here with me i have examples of three different types of absorptive panels that i pulled from various rooms in my studio here so you have the diy panels these hang in my live room here you have foam wedge panels pulled one of these out of one of my iso booths and then you have the mineral fiber panels these prefab panels pulled one of these from the piano corner in one of my other rooms these all have their advantages the wedge foam will be the most cost effective of course it doesn't have quite as good of absorption coefficient at lower frequencies it will do the job it'll stop flutter echoes and unwanted reflections in the room the prefab mineral fiber panels are are great they look wonderful the beveled edges are really classy looking there's no work required aside from hanging them and they are really pretty pretty easy to hang with impaling clips wherever you choose to do so the diy panels are outstanding as well if you're if you're handy you can certainly build these it's just a wooden frame with rock wool inside and then a layer of two mill plastic to keep the fibers in and then some breathable some acoustically transparent fabric from guilford of maine over the top and these things are outstanding as well you can take any of these and cheat them off the wall a few inches and that will increase the absorption coefficient at lower frequencies so you get a little more performance out of the same panels of course the thicker the panel is you'll get similar results so these three inch panels will absorb better at low frequencies than the two inch panel here same thing goes with bass traps the deeper they are the better they'll perform at lower frequencies what we're going to do is try to control the the first reflection points generally and that's where of course sound can it's going to come out of the speaker it's going to come directly to your ear it's also going to bounce off the wall and off the ceiling and then meet back up with itself and at that point it does one of two things either it's reinforcing certain frequencies or it's canceling them out and we don't really want either of those so we're treating the first reflection points and it's exactly what it sounds like you know you can literally sit in your mixed position and have somebody walk up and down the wall with a mirror and if you can see the reflection of any of the drivers in the mirror then that spot needs to be treated so we're going to take a look at at the treatment options there we work with manufacturers acoustical fulfillment rlx prime acoustics pro acoustics we have a number of manufacturers that build these these panels there are a couple that are pretty innovative and we may actually use one or two of these for this room there's one called i think the flex 48 from acoustical fulfillment which it's the it's a your traditional panel but then it has this plexiglas flexible shield that's placed over it so it ends up providing some diffusion for the room so we're not going to take all of the energy out of the back of the room but then it also ends up increasing the absorption coefficient around i think it's 100 to 300 or so hertz then it ends up doing a little bit of that trapping for you as well that might be a good way to work that in there we can take a look at panels from rlx from prime acoustics that would do the job there's also one another one i have some of these panels that we can entertain from pros acoustic they have this kind of wave guide built into them so what happens is the sound goes through the mineral fiber layer hits that waveguide type design this wave design and then that scatters that energy and effectively changes the path back out through the mineral fiber acoustics is crazy half science and half magic and i think at some point here you know i have a pretty good understanding of it sweetwater works on small rooms you know bedroom studios up to some of the larger studios in the world large venues all the way up to arena jobs oftentimes for those larger jobs you know we'll bring in some of the acousticians and installers that we that we work with we won't often do that necessarily with a smaller bedroom studio like this but i think it would be great if i maybe got you in touch with one of our acousticians that we work with gavin haverstick and he can kind of pick up where i left off and get into the the into the real science behind some of the acoustic treatments we're always real lucky if we're actually building the room and get to dictate what the shape of it of it is if a room already exists you can sometimes get get real lucky i'm in a lot of a good number of rooms they just happen to have even distribution of modes like like what your room happens to have but regardless i mean they they can always be controlled to one extent or another and frankly i mean if you think think back there are a lot of records a lot of great sounding albums that are made in less than ideal spaces or i i took a a tour you know you go to uh that to stacks and some of those the the memphis tourists on records you know the and uh get to walk up to the the microphone that elvis recorded on and just look around in that room and that room was not meant to uh to record in sound city the old field box factory yep i mean that was that was not supposed to be an amazing sounding room and sometimes you just get get lucky and then you can control and do what you can to make it sound even better but any room can be used to to make records and to mix in i think one of the things that we're going to need to know i presume if we're going to build acoustics is probably things that are of large mass which could be the desk so we should probably choose a desk to sit in there i'm on your site i've opened it up yeah there's a there's a studio furniture section there you just can go to that if you like to browse and we can definitely take a look at a few options i think a desk that is substantial enough you know bearing in mind we'll probably go along the long one of the long walls so we've got how many feet like a i'm not going to use utilize the full 11 feet but we can put something fairly decent sized in there there's quite a few things i like the look of there's of course the argosy stuff i think like the dual 15 is probably a bit too much more than i want to spend but it looks good the halo is probably in the right price range 2k or below yeah argus stuff is is outstanding there are plenty of options to choose from you have the more substantial you know traditional modern studio desks and then you also have some of these small smaller ones you know the halo ultimate workstation where they've gotten a little more compact they'll have built-in isolation risers for for monitors and that kind of stuff but they're still keeping the footprint compact then you have options you know my my desk we've retrofitted it but it's based around a sterling modular design their pods and desks are all they're at calculated angles to minimize the speaker reflections the reflections just like we were talking about reflecting off the wall it can reflect off the desk and then constructively or destructively recombine with what's coming directly out of the speakers to your ears so those are worth checking out i need a decent amount of surfaces because we're going to have things on it i need obviously i'm probably going to have at least two pairs of speakers on there some small pair a bigger pair on the outside and you know because we do a lot of speaker tests i might be swapping stuff out i might you know i need i need a decent amount of real estate i think the ones i'm looking at size wise that are good is like yeah there's that there's the rab one ramp stuff is great you could check out the zeorg stuff yeah there's a there's a stuff does jump out there's i like the the miser 88 xl flex station but if we go to the black cherry one here see that jumps out to me that looks like a nice bit of wood to fit in my studio so it's interesting it's like i get it i mean this is like probably like anything in life isn't it like choosing a car i mean this is this looks like something that will fulfill everything i want of all the ones here it's probably the most fulfills all the function but also looks traditional enough from from my perspective let's have a click on it and get into some of the details yeah absolutely and so yeah it has to aesthetically look like what you wanted to but it has to have to actually hold all the equipment and yeah and and functionally work in your room and i'm a big fan of their stuff i think that they're styling it i mean they built some beautiful desks so yeah that would totally work for you you know yeah of course we can add racks and that kind of stuff if needed but it's always nice to have that and have equipment right in arm's reach there and kind of choose what you have in front of you yeah of course this will work with the whatever monitors we choose we can work on some isolation there and and toss the monitors up on top absolutely i think if we're going to do a rack we can talk about that later as we're starting to build build a studio if we're going to do a rack i'm probably going to want something on my right hand side i mean i'm right-handed so you know mixing turn you know reach over to the right if it's that one thing that isn't in the in the actual unit that should cover all my needs i do like it it looks like a nice piece of furniture and definitely yeah it sounds like that might be the solution if it's going to fit physically in the space it sounds like it'll hold everything you need it to and of course we can expand that with a rack at any any point but yeah it gives you plenty of space for for a number of outboard pieces to get started with well it's uh its width is 61 inches so it's only just over five foot yeah so we got we're going to have three foot either side i mean that's pretty perfect and it's quite likely if we we go for some bigger speakers at some point and we have to put them on stands either side of it that three feet on either side is going to be more than enough room to do that because i'm thinking like some small speakers in the middle some you know regular size and maybe some bigger ones on stands again you know because we're going to be testing a lot of equipment so you know and i want to be able to test equipment in an environment that's similar to 99 of the people that are watching these videos but i do like a lot of this other stuff here i mean a lot of it's super functional i mean that argosy halo ultimate keyboard workstation has got like area for two monitor screens i mean that's that's that's they mean business with that so i mean there's some great stuff there that's just not our aesthetic of what we need let's get that ordered all right well we can definitely have one sent to you here excellent fantastic all right i really appreciate your time we will talk very very soon definitely i'll get the desk on this way but yeah great talking with you thanks ever so much talk soon bye bye hey gavin how are you doing hey good morning how are you doing i am fantastic um this is really interesting because the room's not particularly big but like i'm standing on the threshold of the doorway even a small room like this is an echo chamber oh yeah for sure well we can change that and and uh i see a lot of you know potential in the room there's some a couple things we need to work around but uh yeah it's gonna be great when it's all done fantastic so that you got all of the photos you got the diagrams etc was it all did it all make sense yeah yeah that was super helpful like to get nice photos of each wall and ceiling surface in there and then good dimensions so that we could put it in our modeling software and autocad yeah it was great fantastic i mean it it seems to me like it's going to be a little bit of a challenge because it's like a typical small kid's bedroom it's still i i mean it's feasible yes to be a working mix slash mastering even you know throw a vocal mic in the corner absolutely i mean it's it's uh it's really the typical environment that a lot of us have to work in you know having a huge studio would be great but um sometimes we just have to work with what we have and and uh this is pretty common so it's got its own challenges but uh you know it'll be great to kind of walk through this and and show everybody that it's possible to turn a space like this into a really nice studio so you've sent us the diagrams let's uh let's get them open and check it out yeah we could start with the the mix position because you know everything will revolve around where we end up setting up speakers and and your your listening position and i i chose the the wall with the long uh you know wide window on it right close it to your left if you're if you're at the listening position the reason for that is mostly to try to retain as much symmetry in the room as possible there's that little section above uh where the ceiling slopes up and it's lower above that window and then slopes up to be a little bit higher and if we oriented the mixed position anywhere else it really would cause issues there plus it gives us a really nice large surface on the rear wall that's to the left of the entrance door uh to be able to do some some base trapping and some diffusion um so that centered on that wall you know we always want to be centered to make sure that we have equal energy coming from the left and right and i also looked at the length of the room which was a 11 foot 2 inches and there's a rule of thumb that if you take 38 percent of the length of the room and and that's how far your ears should be from the front wall so you take that 11 foot 2 inches multiply it by 0.38 and that distance which ends up being a little bit over uh just just under four foot three inches that's how far your ears should be from that that window wall so i set that first and then came up with an equilateral triangle where the speakers are sitting on the desk and that equilateral triangle terminates about 12 inches behind your head so that the sound is going past your ears and it's a it's a four foot equilateral triangle so four feet on each side between that point behind your head and the tweeters of your speakers and yeah it should work out really well because if you sit at that location you're minimizing the effects of axial modes that are going front to back in the room just placing speakers in mixed position won't solve all your issues but it can start you off on a better foot so that you're you're not you don't have an uphill battle to start so i'm roughly sitting where you're talking about so i'm pretty much sitting in the center of the room would you say that's true the seating position is going to be pretty much sent the dead center yeah you want to be center um from left to right down that center line um so it's it's just a it's about five foot eleven and a half inches to to your left and to your right um and then you yeah you're at the 38 point from front to back so it ends up being uh if you look to your left while sitting there it would be almost to the edge of that closet you know the next thing that we have to consider since the speakers and listening position are set um now we have to look at things like first reflection points the way that we hear you know if a reflection comes back to our ears within about 60 milliseconds of the direct sound we just sum that together like there's no way for us to ignore a reflection that's uh you know within that that uh that time frame just because our brains are going to sum it together and we think that that's what the speakers sound like and so in a small room like this i mean that's every surface it's so the wall ceiling floor all those reflections our brain just melds those together and we think that's what the room what the speakers sound like and so we want to try to kill off those first reflections and usually good to do that with absorption um and so i've got some fulfill panels from acoustical fulfillment on the walls these are two inch thick fabric covered fiberglass panels you could get some additional control uh in the mid and low frequencies if you space them off the wall a couple inches but they also will work really well just directly against the wall and we're using those mostly on the first reflection points on the sides on the front um and and it's really going to help to dial in imaging and make sure that that you're listening to what the speakers are outputting quick question what are we thinking about isolation of sound from the outside not just obviously potential traffic noise which honestly wouldn't bother me at all because it's so quiet up here but more about like the neighbors yeah so when it comes to isolation that's that's definitely a a different animal when it comes to uh trying to block sounds from leaving or entering the room compared to you know making the room sound good um with isolation it's all about a construction approach usually like trying to increase the mass and decouple uh your your walls and ceilings and floors and it can be you know pretty daunting to to go into a lot of times what you look for is kind of quick wins and and you know you've got a couple windows in there and usually those are a weak link in in the ice what i'm mainly concerned about i mean we've got to be realistic here you know most people are not going to take their you know kids bedroom that's just you know jumped on a plane to go to the other side of the country to university and float a floor and build a room within a room but if i could we could figure out a way of blocking these two main windows that would be huge yeah so there's a couple ways that could be done um sometimes people will build a window plug which if you have enough space within the windowsill itself you could use a plywood or mdf like something heavy and put a rubber gasket around the perimeter so that you can place it within the window and it seals air tight if it's something that you plan to add and remove often you can put handles on it so it's easy to grab and but if it's permanent you could just uh fix it in place and honestly if it's permanent you could just use acoustical sealant some caulking around the perimeter and make it a permanent fixture but if you do want to be able to open the windows over time a plug is really nice for that a more permanent solution is there's there's companies that make sound isolation glass and windows that can be retrofitted to an existing home like this so you still have your window to the outside but then there's another pane of glass that's usually laminated on the inside that just increases that stc value and and those windows can be operable as well so if these windows do open and close you can get the isolation window to do the same so fresh air can come in when you'd like it that might be the best option is i think it's either that or it's a case of i was thinking of just like building a panel that just went over the top yeah that could work you know the key is is that you have to look at isolation systems as a full system and like for instance it doesn't do any good to have a window that ends up having an stc of uh a sound transmission class of 60 and then let's say the walls are only doing 40 that then you've just spent too much money on a window and so it's it's good to uh make sure everything is balanced out and you're not overdoing it on any one of them because sound will just find that weak point right fantastic and then are we looking at a cloud over the seating position yeah so one one of the things that i tried to do with this space is is treat it really well but then also try to use materials that are easily accessible and and something that the you know everyday person can can install and and purchase from from sweetwater and take care of their problems so above the mix position are again a couple two inch fiberglass panels but the mounting method of those are different because they have these rotofast anchors that go into the back of the panel and they basically plastic screws that screw into the fiberglass and it terminates into an eye bolt and so the eye bolt is then used to suspend these panels from the ceiling where you would get anchors for the ceiling and maybe s-hooks or a chain uh something like that to to suspend them down with an air gap behind them and that air gap again increases their performance also you know visually it can add a nice dimension to the room but yeah there's a fulfill panel on the angled section and then one that's catching that first reflection point between the speakers and the listening position wow anything else we need to cover yeah so the there's a couple things uh i would recommend the windows themselves uh that uh it'd be nice to have a thick dense curtain over them you know and that that's something that you could potentially do uh down the road if you'd like you know there's going to be some good control in the room just with the acoustical treatment alone but that surface directly behind the speakers has a large window there and then there's a window to your right as you're at the mixed position and you know both those surfaces having a curtain would be a good thing to control reflections but also it's really nice for changing the ambience of the room uh you know if you wanted it more lively for let's say acoustic guitar performance or something like that you could have them have the curtains more open but then for mixing you could close them i think that that would be a really nice thing you want to get a thick uh fabric for that curtain nice big red red velvet curtains exactly yeah i think twin peaks and and you'll have it and and you want to oversize it for those windows so right the window let's say is six feet wide you might get a curtain that's 10 feet wide so you still have deep folds when it's closed because that will help with that mid and lower frequencies and so i think that would be good um and then in the rear of the room um one thing that we are are recommending is there's this product called the flex 48 from acoustical fulfillment and uh it's actually you know full disclosure it's a it's a product i i patented but i go into these these spaces all the time and people are using it for mixing but then they are also going to track things in there and it could be a wide array of musical instruments and this product it's a diffuser when you want to be an absorber when you want it to be so you can actually take this clear shield out of the out of the tray it basically bends into place and creates a barrel diffuser which is both a diffuser and a bass trap um or you can remove it and then it's just absorption and so if you're cutting vocals you can take the shields out and have a very dry environment but when you're doing acoustic guitar percussion instruments you can put the shields in and it'll make the room sing a little bit more the side benefit of having them on the rear wall because that's where diffusion is is typically placed in spaces like this is the rear wall behind you because the speakers are facing that direction and you want to um not kill off that energy too much or else the room just sounds lifeless and dead is no you know no fun to be in with this flex 48 on the back wall it has a spike when the shield is in place in absorption in the 80 to 125 hertz range and just so happens to be that your front to back axial mode so we're talking room modes here is that 101 hertz and so it's right in the sweet spot of where this product performs the best and so by having that on the rear wall when you're mixing i'd put the shields in because it's going to give you low end control but also scatter that sound for you on the back quick question the closet that's to the left are we still going to be able to use that yeah you can still use it and actually what i'm recommending there is that oralx acoustics has a product called a progo which is a two foot wide by six foot tall gobo that you can move around the room as needed and so this will be perfect for a couple of reasons because you can place it in front of that closet and hit that first reflection point to your left but then if you're going to use that vocal corner in the back like you mentioned you could move it over there and have it be in front of the vocalist while they're standing in the corner so that less room uh that's a really good idea i like that because i don't want to lose this closet i mean it's because obviously it's full of like boxes empty boxes at the moment but it will be storage you know for cables and all other kinds of things and it would be very unfortunate not to be able to utilize it yeah absolutely i mean i'd say that's the number one complaint by most studio owners is that they don't have enough storage space so yeah i want to keep that that for you and then we have a little storage area above it well the the last thing that uh is part of the acoustical treatment plan is the um diffusers that are on the ceiling and on the door uh they're wood diffusers from part science called the space arrays they're really nice handmade natural wood diffusers and it's going to make that back of the room be a really great tracking spot but then also anyone sitting on the couch will get a better representation of what your mixed position sounds like obviously they won't be in that equilateral triangle but diffusion on the ceiling is going to allow them to have a bit of a wider sweet spot back there and and have a better idea of what you're what you're doing up there um dumb things like for the doors like putting um i did in my old home studio i put like little uh we call them like rubber um gaskets yeah gaskets that's the good word gaskets um so we should obviously do that i mean look the reality is like uh for inside of that the house i expect people you can't really isolate them when you're working you're working um i think i'm more concerned about the but about the neighbors um so we'll cover the windows with that that's fantastic yeah all right and one one last element that i didn't mention is that uh there's two vertical corners available for some corner base trapping and uh what we've done is use the fulfill panels again there but there's these corner wood brackets that you can put across a 90 degree corner do you mean sorry to interrupt you kevin do you mean the questions by the small window yes exactly so to the left and right of the small window um you know the other two corners are blocked by the closet and the entrance door but at least those two we could we can go at a 45 across there and get some low end control and then i've done um two corner traps as well uh in the center above the small window and then mirror that perfectly on the other side by the closet wall and that will just help with tangential modes going in a different direction because vertical corners are great and you should treat them but tangential modes can also happen in a couple other directions and it's good to treat the horizontal corners in the room too what about the back corners by the door you know the wall on the back is there anything going in those top corners is that necessary uh so there's a little bit of uh with with every um project like this there's there's some obstacles in the way of doing things so there is a smoke detector above the door that kind of limits what you can do there and then um there's a hvac vent as well kind of towards the center of the room on the ceiling and so we didn't end up doing them across the back in an ideal world it would be great to do it but um uh you know if if that becomes a struggle it could be something where you could build uh well the hvacs only what is that it's about 10 inches from the back wall is that too close to do something because we can move the smoke detector because that's just battery operated actually if if it was battery powered and it wasn't hardwired in um yeah i would definitely recommend a trap in that corner and then a trap in the other corner going horizontally between the wall ceiling junctures and then by doing that you could avoid that hvac vent as well so the smoke detector is battery operated so it can move oh that's great so i'll send you a revised plan that has uh those two additional bass traps uh in those corners fantastic all right we'll remove that so yeah let's do a revised version of that and very very this is this is absolutely fantastic i appreciate it yeah no problem i'm excited to see how it all turns out for you and uh you know of course we'll be here along the way if you have any questions excellent thank you ever so much gavin i really appreciate it all right thank you warren take care thanks a lot bye-bye [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
