    Vocal Booth Microphone HF Technicalities

    I noticed that many vocal booths have glass behind the mic. I'm wondering if this is partially to compensate for the high frequency damping caused by the pop filter and grill, as well as function as a window...? If one was to use a high-frequency reflective surface such as glass to introduce...

    Bring My Guitars to a New Level

    Here's an mp3 of my guitar work The guitar sounds decent and plays solidly; it's even handmade. The room is pretty dead. The mic is a GTAM62 through an API 312. Still doesn't sound quite full to me. Feel free to add your input. Am I too picky? (No pun intended)

    Hi-hat bleed through the snare mic AAARGH

Lately I've taped a big ol' foam pad on the side of the hi-hats with no success at all. I've moved the drums into the center of the room to cut reflections...
