I'm doing digital recording using Cakewalk Pro Audio in my home. Everything my friends and I do is direct line except the vocals. I use a Yamaha electronic kit for drums, a Korg Pandora for guitars and, of course, some midi here and there.
With this set up we can record easily around the clock without disturbing anyone else in the house. Except for recording vocals that is. My question is this. Has anyone built a small, possibly portable, 1 man isolation booth for this kind of thing?
I'm picturing a telephone booth (albeit a little smaller) kind of thing. 4 walls and a ceiling with a plexiglass window for visual cues etc. The walls could attach to each other by latch or something that would allow them to be easily connected or disconnected and stored flat.
I'm talking budget here folks. I'm not as concered with the effect on the sound as I am just dampening the sound to the outside. So the insulation on the inside of the walls is an important factor.
Yes, I know it might not be the most comfortable environment to spend a couple hours straight in but keep in mind that, afterall, we're only talking about a vocalist here! (Just kidding.)
Any thoughts, suggestions or experiences are appreciated. Thanks in advance!
