Improving your Sound with a DIY el-cheapo sound booth

Joe, I'd have to say that when I'm in the "crux" of the thing, the closeness (or "lack of room") sounds really good. Good non-diffused present sound. Thing is, that with the Reflexion Filter and the tightness of the angle, it's kinda hard to get my music stand in there so I can properly see the copy, not to mention that it gets a little hot in there...HOWEVER, all things being equal, it is a good if not ideal, tho inexpensive, way to the heart of the problem.

I may well try to figger out a "lean-to" that I can put behind and over me, as you stated, to reduce upward travel onto the ceiling; the hooks I had already put in thinking I'd box myself in with blankets - bad idea...I'm really not good at visualizing things that need to be built, which is why once I saw the post of this piece, I said Hey I can build that!!!!!

It's called making do I guess. Would I like a Whisperroom? Of course. Can I afford one now? uhDuh.....So we make do. Smile

DOH! I used to own one of those...for the band I was in. Sold it along with the other gear when I moved from OH to NC...Very true dat, that'd do it.

More importantly, a question for Chris: Does the dog have to be that damn ugly?

And her coat doesn't look very "sound absorbing".

Truly sorry if I offended Chris or anyone with the remark about his dog. I was, of course, not serious and was only going for a laugh. It appears no one laughed and I may look rather foolish now as I haven't seen any responses, good or bad. So Chris, if you're reading this, I apolgize to you and all others offended.

Here is my groove tube mic. I am normally in headphones, but I was practicing for a magical fairy read on an animation project. Roger laughed when he saw the over the top glitter make-up and decided to get the camera out.
