Thanks Josh,

The main thing the Op should realize is that a *very good* ad-hoc Vocal Booth can be made in a couple hours with materials from Walmart and Lowes (based on our posts) ... a sexy one at that.

While building a large VB with windows and room for instruments is an ambitious over-kill (IMHO), the end will probably only be *very good*. To be *excellent* (which our ears might not notice) probably requires a professional VB builder. The end result may be non-sexy, completely-vain, and a bulky nuisance ... wouldn't work for all types of vocal recordings (like multiple singers, instruments, etc.)

So the Op should only concentrate on his room echoes, outside sounds, a possible closet, fiberglass base-traps, and/or 'sexy' quilts. He really shouldn't make it ugly and chaotic.

in particular, the vocal booths




these are not cheap.
and they don't stop all sound, not even close...


but they are temporary, portable, small footprint, look good, and to a decent degree, they work.

Well, perhaps you can look around at studios like in Nashville, Blackbird Studio C and get some ideas! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exQRfHbSwn0

For some strange reason I'm in the habit of reading the OP and checking the date. If I'm real bored I'll click on the user name and see what their up to..  A real common one is thread starters who ask questions and never reply, Funny how those threads will go on and on without anyone noticing. :)
