We take a lot of pride in helping all artists, amateur and pro, sound their best. Even the pros can use some help now and then, so we offer some thoughts on a creative and quick way to get different sounds and cleaner recordings.

Sound absorption sheets can be used to create or modify studio acoustics quickly and easily. They open the door to sonic experimentation — in just a few minutes you can create an entirely new acoustic environment and hear instant results.



For instrumental takes or to free a vocalist from the booth, use sound absorption sheets to optimize your studio acoustics. Try a single layer for a little absorption, or go with multiple layers to significantly reduce reflection and isolate the sonic image. Sound absorption sheets are versatile, portable, and light, so experimenting is quick and easy. They’ll stop as much reflection, reverberation, and ambient noise as you choose and still let you capture a real, uninhibited performance.


If you do remote recordings or video shoots, you never know what you’ll find on location. Sound absorption sheets make it possible to create studio acoustics anywhere, anytime. Just hang or arrange the sheets as you need, relax, and let the talent shine.

Sound absorption sheets can also be used to create different visual environments. They’re available in off-white or charcoal, so you can choose the right color for your application. Charcoal-colored sheets are ideal for soundstages, location recordings, and anywhere else you need to have studio acoustics and yet be discreet.



Audimute sheets not only cost less than other products, but they give you the freedom you need to realize your sonic vision, anywhere and anytime. Give Audimute a call at 866-505-MUTE and let’s talk, one pro to another, about how we can help you work better.

So you're looking to build a vocal booth - but why is creating a soundproof sound booth so important? Sound bounces around in every room. It’s reflected by hard surfaces and absorbed by soft materials. Any sound that isn’t absorbed will eventually make it back to your microphone and “color” the sound of the recording. A soundproof sound booth is lined with absorptive material to reduce echo and reflection, so the microphone picks up the true vocal image and nothing else. The vocal performance shines through, and you spend less time fixing the sound “in the mix.”

How to Build a Vocal Booth: Construction Crew Not Required

If you’re feeling ambitious, you can build a great soundproof sound booth from the ground up - but it will require permanent construction. If this is your goal, Peacemaker is an excellent solution for blocking sound in new and existing walls. However, a custom sound booth is a big, permanent step, and is more than most of our customers need. The good news is that learning how to build a vocal booth isn’t necessary. With Audimute Sound Absorption Sheets, you don’t have to be a carpenter to convert any household or studio space—from the smallest closet to a studio suite—into an effective sound booth. Simply install Absorption Sheets to eliminate the echoes and reverb!

A Totally Soundproof Drum Room? Not Always Needed
A completely soundproof drum room lets out no sound—period. Creating a totally soundproofed drum room can be a big, expensive job. It can be done, and if you’re set on this type of drum room soundproofing, Audimute has the DIY soundproofing products and expertise to get you there. But hold on…

Let’s consider what most drummers really need. In most cases, a completely soundproof drum room is not necessary. Simply reducing the amount of sound that escapes from the practice space will keep the neighbors happy and the police away.

Here’s a little easy science to help tell the story. The amount of sound coming from a drum set or a band is measured in decibels (dB). A drummer might generate 110–120dB when playing hard. If that drummer hits a little bit softer—just 10dB less—anyone listening will hear him or her playing half as loudly. Half.

It works the same way with drum room soundproofing. Because of the way our ears perceive sound, a “sound proof drum room” may not need to be soundproof at all. It only needs to reduce the volume by as little as 10dB to make the music half as loud outside the room.

This natural fact is your best friend in drum room soundproofing. Drums can sound a whole lot better inside and a whole lot quieter outside the practice space with just a couple of simple DIY soundproofing steps.

Step 1: Use Acoustic Absorption Sheets.

Cover the inside of the practice space with as much DIY soundproofing material as possible. Audimute Sound Absorption Sheets can completely and affordably transform a practice space. Audimute's Starter Kit comes with 14 Long (3' x 8') Sheets, 42 Megaclips and ships free! The kit covers approximately 336 sq.ft. and only costs $345!

• Sound Absorption Sheets absorb echoes, reverberation, and noise reflection inside the room.
• The practice space will sound cleaner and clearer inside. You can play at a lower volume and still keep the intensity of your performance.
• Sound Absorption Sheets reduce sound pressure levels in the room, thus reducing the amount of sound that can escape.
• Audimute Sound Absorption Sheets are a movable and flexible solution. You can always add more DIY soundproofing sheets to a practice space, and more mass and more absorption means less sound on the loose.

• Use a flashlight or feel for airflow in the seams and cracks of doors, windows, and walls.
• Apply a good acoustic seal to the door sweep and sealing areas. Audimute Acoustic Door Sweeps and Acoustic Door Seals close up these trouble areas, keeping sound in.
• Seal seams and other obvious gaps with caulk or tape.
  

• Isolate walls, floors, and ceilings.
• Install sound blocking material, like Audimute Peacemaker.
• Refine the interior acoustics for great recordings.
  

Search no more! Finally, a list of the top three ways to soundproof a room cheap. Although sound is complicated, budget soundproofing doesn't have to be. Read on for tips on how to soundproof a room cheap and effectively.

Tip 1: Seal your seams!

This is often one of the most overlooked aspects in budget soundproofing projects, yet one of the most important things to tackle. Imagine filling a bottle with water. No matter how durable the walls of the container, you won't get very far if there's a hole in the bottom. The same thing is true in soundproofing. Adding budget soundproofing material like Peacemaker sound insulation will give you the mass you need on your walls, floors and ceilings, but these materials will only reach their maximum level of effectiveness once you seal your seams (including cracks around the frame of your doors and windows, electrical outlets, etc.). If you don't seal your seams and create the most airtight space possible, sound will continue traveling in and out of your space through your seams.

Our best recommendation is to look for a budget soundproofing tape like Audimute Acoustic Seals to use for sealing your seams. This tape was made to block sound from leaking into and out of your space through the weakest parts of your room (which are usually your doors and windows). Budget soundproofing tape is great for those looking to soundproof a room cheap because it's sold in rolls that cover up to 3 doors for as low as $19.99.

Tip 2: Understand the difference between sound blocking and sound absorption

According to the dictionary, 'soundproof' literally means to insulate with the purpose of obstructing sound. In the soundproofing world, this general term is actually split into two separate technologies - sound blocking and sound absorption. Although many people assume they need to block sound in order to achieve success, an undiscovered truth is that sound absorption products often are the best way to soundproof a room cheap. The video below describes the difference between the two and is helpful in determining which budget soundproofing products to choose for your application.



Tip 3: Take a 'phased-in' approach

Beware of the many companies who are trying to sell their products simply to sell products. Many times, these companies will sell you on a whole slew of products you may not even need, simply in an effort to make money. At Audimute, we ourselves are musicians and know the value of effective budget soundproofing; as a result, we have taken the 'business' road less traveled by actually caring about your time and money. In recommending solutions, we always take a 'phased-in' approach and suggest you take the same philosophy when purchasing products. When trying to soundproof a room cheap, taking a 'phased-in' approach will help you stay on track and avoid purchasing excess products that you may not even need.

Deciding which acoustic treatment to use in your space is one of the most difficult decisions when it comes to improving sound in homes, apartments, studios and more. There are so many acoustic treatment products on the market, and all claim to do the same thing - absorb echoes and reverb. So how do you know which acoustic treatment is more effective than others? And when do you draw the line in terms of how much money you're willing to spend on the right solution? All of these questions and more are answered in the video below.



As far as general Acoustic Treatment tips go:

• Make sure you pay attention to the NRC ratings of different acoustic treatment - the higher the NRC rating, the more effective the product is at absorbing sound.

• Look for acoustic treatment that is eco-friendly - natural and recycled products are just as effective as foam and fiberglass alternatives but take much less energy to produce AND they make use of material that otherwise would have gone to waste in a landfill (double bonus!).
  

• Portable = Convenient. Acoustic treatment should be easy to hang - you don't have to resort to permanent solutions when you're simply looking for sound absorption treatment.
