What is that Audio wall gear? Recording at home question

Hello

I saw a video with Tiffany Monique (B-vocals for Beyonce´s, Mariah Carey etc) when she was recording vocals at home.

In about 2:24 min there is a "portable audio wall" sort of speak. What are these called and where can I get one?

Thanks

I think they're over priced for what they are. You can make your own for ¢.

LOL
And I thought you were talking about the moving blanket that was nailed to the wall  

Thanks guys!

If the blanket do the trick, why not use that;)

I've got a Reflection filter at my project studio and it works great.  Honest.  In fact my setup is not that different than hers.  Except I stand in front of an open double wide closet full of clothes instead of a moving blanket on the wall.

I too thought the OP was asking what that high tech "audio wall" thingy was...and I'm going...welp...it's a moving blanket:-)

The Mud Guard along with the other ones have mic stand mounting hardware designed into them ... that is something that may be meaningful to you.

I don't have a good singing voice but do sing for the purposes of arranging parts.  I have the $99 Mud Guard and it Kinda' gives everything everything I do a Bryan Adams effect.

Large shipping blankets are about $25 - $30 at Lowes and I find them helpful for my home studio but I don't simply hang mine on the wall ... I will use one to help isolate the mics around a drum kit.

Monique is also sitting on a leather couch, which probably isn't helping! 

I think she looks good sitting on that couch.


  

I agree with Bit,

It's pretty easy to figure out what frequencies will be "treated" by various materials.

Almost none of the materials sold and used for room treatment will absorb the most problematic frequency resonance in a small or medium size room.

All they absorb are the mids and higher frequencies, which makes it easy for you to hear that you have made a change... the curious thing is that the change you are making is not helping tame any of the problematic resonant frequencies in the room, you are simply EQ'ing your wonderful voice in some arbitrary and novel way.

If doing that makes you think you sound better... who can argue?


If the Reflexion devices came with mirrors attached... I think they would sell even more of them.

There will be, however, the matter of those problem frequencies that still need to be dealt with.

You can hear the room tone in the intro to the video where Monique is singing and the camera mic is picking it up. It is the low frequency echo you hear under the entire interview. You can also hear that she has a wonderful and beautiful voice.

Close mic'ing and low cut filtering are probably all she needs to sound good. She even mentioned that sometimes the practice tracks make it to final mix... more proof that her voice is simply that nice to work with. :-)
