Hey I have been wanting to build a very simple booth that will get the job done. The room I am recording in now ( the basement ) was build extra insolated, so believe me when I say its dead, its dead. So since I already have a decent room, I want to add some sort of booth . Is there a easy inexpesnse way to achieve a booth in my room?

Hi there
I'm having a studio built, and I've read some suggestions on other sites, and am receiving somewhat mixed suggestions.
The only problem is, I have to make these decisions in the very near future.. (the rooms are about to be built)

Unfortunately, I'm in a situation where reducing the sound leakage is more important than the sonics of the room... though I'm not about to buy an ISO booth and deaden everything. The louder recording needs are for electric guitar and vocals, though I'm using low wattage amps that are often pushed a bit for break up. Will also record acoustic. No drums, no bass.

greetings all,

I'm in the market for a computer-based hardware interface to record vocalists with a variety of microphones including condensator mics.

I want the vocalists to lay down lyrics to pre-produced tracks, recording using a pc-based sequencer (e.g. cooledit).

I will build a soundproof booth for the vocalists and arrange the recording i a control-room.

I need help deteriminig the best mix position for a room that will be a mix/live room used for Guitars, Vocals, Bass (DI Box) and Keys. Drums will be recorded sporadically on an infrequent basis.

hello,

Hey guys, this is my first post here.. seems like a great forum.

For those who hate to read, the main points:
Just starting
$4-5k budget
Transforming my basement
Style: Acoustic guitar, vocals, some electric
Information on setting up acoustics for a room
Looking for: a nice 'real' sound
Estimated costs / suggestions: mixers, compressors, mics, the works

I have decided that building a vocal booth in my studio room.
is a waste of money and time.

I live in the basement of my parents house.
nice lil room connected to my bedroom.
two doors...one for living/bedroom kitchen area and one for washroom.
It's pretty quite in my room...quiet enough to record rap/hip hop
lyrics with head phones/microphone.

I have know since I set up shop that the LF in my monitoring environment had some peaks. Not as bad as a bedroom, but definitely not smooth. (The monitors are B&W 801series III which can definitely reproduce 25Hz, and flat to boot.)
