So, I want to record some vocals and acoustic guitar. Problem is, my recording environment is a big, echoey garage that makes everything sound like crap (tinny reverb, muffled sound in general).
I've been talking it over with an experienced recording engineer, and he says I should be able to make sound shields for my mics using fiberglass pipe insulation. Apparently, fiberglass is excellent at absorbing sound, and pipe insulation comes in a nicely curved shape.
Does anyone have experience with this? Thoughts? Or should I go for something commercial, like the EditorsKeys Portable Vocal Booth (http://www.editorskeys.com/portable-vocal-booth-home-version-soundbooth.html)?
Any other ideas you have for getting cleaner sound in a horrible environment? The more, the merrier.
