Ok so I understand that many professional studios use big open wooden rooms to record drums in to get a more punchy sound. I happened to come across an article that said if you go out and buy plywood to put over the walls (and floor if there's carpet) that it will help achieve something close to that sound you can achieve in the professional studio.

I'm about to set up my first studio for mixing. It's a small, roughly sqaure room. I want to set up enough treatment so that I can be comfortable that the acoustics of the room are not affecting my mix to any noticeable extent. Of course there are numerous articles and examples on how to do this on the net. Here is a good one:

Hi, I'm thinking of getting some monitors for my home recording studio/office, but I want to get an idea of how difficult it would be to do some treatment to my room. My budget for treatment is just a few hundred dollars. I know that's not a lot, but I'm sure I can get creative and stretch my money. Here's a diagram of the room.

As I read more and more on this forum I find that people stress having a well treated room to record vocals in. My question is this: What would you consider to be a "well treated room" for hip hop vocals and a bit of singing? As far as my limited understanding goes I would want to deaden as much reflections etc. in my booth as possible as a means of making my recordings sound better.

Hello everyone,

I'm pretty new to this forum and I need some help on how to deaden a room for ADR.

I basically have a 13 by 10 foot room and about a 10 foot ceiling.

I understand that the recording has to be dead as I can get it in order to match either outside or inside set-sound recordings of voice for ADR.
