Sometimes, while recording, I need to read chord or lyrics (with my symbols for accents, vowel length or melody changes) and being a little short sighted I can't have the monitor too far away. I used to use a stand with an A4 paper songbook that with two pages open it is as big a monitor, and...

It is the rack with the audio gear and on top of it there is the display of the pc I'm using for tracking. Being the engineer of myself, I have to be close to the gear in some way. That would be the most practical placement but I too was concerned about reflections so I'm trying to find an...

Yes, they are gated at -42dB. The room was very quiet, after I switched off the main PC and closed the door towards the kitchen (fridge and dish washing). And being almost 1 a.m. there was no traffic outside. I gated them because the mic itself, or the mic+pre chain, it's a little noisy, even if...

No, my concern is about having the rack in front of the guitar, with the two mics on neck and bridge just at sides of the rack. I'm afraid that the rack itself can cause powerful reflections towards the guitar and my body. I usually place the two mics at about 25cm away from the guitar. Thanks.

@rob aylestone I have already tracked a few times and I didn't dislike it but in the last weeks I changed the setup from analog mixer (Mackie 1202 VLZ PRO) + digital recorder (Edirol R4 on an SSD) to a Focusrite 18i20 + Intel NUC 8i5 PC (pratically silent). The new one gives me some more option...

Just Autocad and 3D objects and... a bit of time. I made it 30 years ago, to test different lay outs before buying the furniture.

I thought that it would have been better to face towards the angled booshelf, as I see that all the reflection filters made for tracking vocals are to be put behind the mic, so that you are singing into an angle (or a rounded one)... I could try to make a couple of DIY panels with polyester...

Hello to everybody. I would like to track acoustic guitar (steel string) and vocals (baritone like) at home. I track into the living room and treating it properly it's not an option. It's 5x6 meters and the lay out is like this: I'm planning to play the guitar and sing in the area where...
