Hi everyone,
I am currently recording in a small walk-in closet (5feet X 4 feet X ~7feet high) and I have lots of echo. I am only using the studio to record rap/r&b vocals so I don't have any instruments. I have read a handful of articles on the importance of acoustically treating your room so I know how important this is. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if acoustic shields are worth it or if it would be better to customize the design by buying foam and cutting/gluing it.
The Auralex MudGuard Microphone Isolator gets pretty decent reviews on a few websites and so does the Cad AS32 Acousti-shield 32 Stand. Anybody have any thoughts on these?
Some articles say place it in a corner while others argue that placing it in the middle of the room is best. I have played around with microphone placement in the room but I don't think that's what's really contributing to the problem.
