So many fantastic comments, thank you all for your input- no pun intended! ?

When I first started recording, I thought to myself how lucky I was to be living in a time when I could buy a $200 DAW which came with what used to be external components (compressors, EQs, reverbs, etc.) and a $200 audio interface with mic pre-amp, which, all together used to cost thousands...

There will be guests but they won’t always be there, they will sometimes appear remotely. I need to think about your question in more detail because I honestly haven’t thought much about what I want vs what I have. I am just trying to avoid quality issues that can’t be fixed in post production.

No accoustic treatment for this room. The sound is muffled and I suspect it’s more the placement of the mic than the mic itself but I am trying to get broadcast quality sound. I suppose the better question would be, assuming I fix the issue of placement, would there be a noticeable difference...

Hi everyone. I am in the process of recording a 1 man show that is similar in format to Conan. I am currently using a Senheiser EW 100 with ME-2 Lav Microphone. This is an older one so it doesn’t use G4. I want to upgrade the sound quality but not sure how to beat do this: 1) Keep the...

Redundancy and Multiple Locations Whether you back up music, family photos, or classified files- the best way to back them up is to have them backed up multiple times on hard drives that are in different locations. I currently have a Samsung 500 gb SSD for traveling, 2 WD 4TB (SATA, not sure if...

Thanks. I was not aware that this was the range. With this in mind, there are many brands of acoustic treatments. Does brand have any real impact on quality?

Keep in mind that the frequency range will be limited to the male voice. The foam won't trap typical male vocal frequency range? Approx 800-2500?

I assumed most professional studios used them in combination with other diffusers.

Thanks again for your help. I put up safe n sound only to then find out that it uses formaldehyde binders. People on different message board service were arguing whether it was safe or not. I don’t want to take the risk. I’m getting some foam panels but didn’t know if there is a difference...

I got stands for the jbls and moved the hard drives off the shelf because they were shaking and making alot of noise. I went to get the Safe n Sound and the bag was gigantic. I had the make the choice as to whether my daughter would come home with me or the safe n sound. I made the right...

I pretty much rely on my headphones for monitoring. Is the main room with the JBLs better? Is there a reason to not make the room dead and utilize the existing acoustics? My concern is that there is alot of open space and it the sound has alot of places to go. Alot of "buzz" and ring from...

JBL LSR305s but i mainly use headphones which are Sony MDR 7520s. I posted pictures to show the rooms I use and accoustics. My understanding was that I should deaden the sound as much as possible so my voice has nowhere to go but to the mic. That is why I chose the closet.

I posted some additional photos. Any advice based on the setup would be appreciated. Thanks for your advice.

4. Inside the closet, right side wall is cement and left side is wood.

3. This is closet. Notice, that it extends under the stairs and cement wall on the right. This will need to be addressed.

2. This is the setup. JBL LSR305s monitors. I mostly stick with my headphones which Sony MDRs. The shelf is noisy, especially with 7200 RPM hardrives so I am getting 3 Auray IP-M Isolation Pads. 1 for each monitor and one to sit the hard drives on.

I will walk you through the setup but the file sizes of photos require me to send in multiple posts: 1. The room on right contains the recording equipment and closet. Note the stairs, (this will make sense in later post.)

The photo is taken by the door to this crawl space/closet. No acoustic treatment aside from some egg crate material on the door. Any suggestions?
