Vocal Booth Plans...

[mookhustle]

Can anyone get me some plans for a vocal booth w/ or w/out diagrams. anyone got any with ventilation ducts? just wonderin.

[Big T...]

Acoustic tiles do wonders for the sound... as does egg-crate style foam...

so you want a soundproof vocal booth?

about 2-3metres by 2-3metres?

[Innovations]

You don't want foam, tiles, or blankets. The best absorbtion is with covered semi-rigid fiberglass.

Now what sort of a vocal booth are you looking for? Do you want isolation or absorbtion? full construction, freestanding, or temporary panels?

This is in no way designed as a high-end solution, but it worked for me and can be assembled/disassembled quickly and is cheap:

does that sound booth work really well????

It looks pretty versatile and easy to set up. I was thinking of mounting a couple 703 panels on cheap mic stands using a PA speaker bracket on the top of the mic stands. so that I can move them around. The only problem, is building them so that you can put them close enough so that the panels touch but the tri-pod legs dont get caught up on each other.


what did all of the materials for that PVC set up cost you?? Thanks.

It looks like a cheap and working vocal booth. I'm still finding a way to build a cheap vocal booth...

I don't even have a tracking room.

Good lucks.

How would I show a plan without a diagram? Hmmmmm.... And what do you mean... "get" them? Get off your ass and "get" them yourself Ya got two legs and a keyboard. Shhheeeezus. BTW...theres a fucking search button...I drew them myself. Fuck.

does that sound booth work really well????

Define.."work really well"? In what way...Knock down? Absorption coeffecint? Isolation? The door latch? ?Doesn't fall through the second floor? Available in any dumpster? Can get it through the front door? No standing waves at 2hz? Won't burn you to death because the latch wouldn't open? Oh, I forgot, can you breath after 2 minutes? Hmmmm, damn light went out? Oh, I didn't see the switch? But my sister can hear me in the next room...really well?

Oh, shit! Thanks a lot for that link, man

I just posted some plans and step-byspet guide i made, over at the portable vocal booth thread. This is for a booth to isolate from neighbours. For good isolation within your room, you will need a two leaf(MAM) structure.

Most people recommended me to go with foam.

Has anyone read "Home Recording Studio Construction" by Gervais & Rodney?

Is it applicable to this kind of consruction or is it a little too in depth and less budget studio orrientated?

Excuse me???? What part of ...."Home Recording Studio Construction" did you miss? Let me put it this way. When you want to take a shit, and a sign says "restroom", do you ask someone if it really means what it says? good grief....

I think that was a bit harsh. It's not like he asked what the book was about. He asked a specific question about the book. Have you read the book? If you haven't I think it would be best to not comment on it. If you have I think that you could have been more helpful in your response.

Yes that was bit uncalled for.

[RICK FITZPATRICK]

Hmmm, lets see.

THIS KIND OF CONSTRUCTION?????? Let me see if I've got this straight. Hmmm, a book called Home Recording Studio Construction. And you are asking if its APPLICABLE TO BUILDING A STUDIO, in a STUDIO BUILDING FORUM. good grief. Lets put it this way pal. I'd bet that if we stripped you naked, soaked you in clue musk, and dropped you into a field full of horny clues doing a clue mating dance, you'd still wouldn't have a clue. Now, what was that you said about harsh?

[Bomer]

Good call... just cut off the part of his post that asked the specifics so you don't look like a dick.

Specifics? Ok. I'm game.

or is it a little too in depth and less budget studio orrientated?

I'd submit that if you are planning on CONSTRUCTING a studio, the concepts for achieving success ARE deep, especially TRANSMISSION LOSS construction, regardless if its a Home Studio or a Commercial Studio. They are the same. However, when it comes to budget, knowlege is king....as in "do it right the FIRST time"...or "no, I don't have the budget to do it right, so I won't waste my time and money doing it wrong and fail".
Lets put it this way. As opposed to Rods book, you can always slap up some "soundproofing foam" on the walls and hope for the best. Theres always an abundance of companys on ebay selling "soundproofing foam" products that would love to fleese your pockets for lack of knowlege. Like they say, "you can't cheat a man who has the facts". Rods book has the facts. And thats about the cheapest way to achieve a "budget studio" that I know of.


And yes, it IS in depth. How ELSE would one convey concepts such as the title suggests?

[Bomer]

I have no idea whether that info is helpful to whoever started this but it's good enough for me. It seems as the person who posted the question in the first place doesn't care enough to post back anyways.
