Application: Vocals

Rooms:
1) 8x8 dry wall room, door in the middle of one wall. Office-type ceiling.
empty no acoustic treatment yet. carpet. 15 ft ceilings

2) 10 x 18 room. Dry wall on 3 sides the fourth is all window. Same ceiling door in the middle of the room. empty no treatment yet. carpet. 15 ft ceilings

3) big room 20 x 35 hard to describe....Its an office room with a number of desks and chairs dry wall and 2 glass doors.

If you were in my position and wanted to use one of these for vocals which would be the best candidate for acoustic treatment on a 200 dollar budget. Which would you choose and what would you put where?

I just have no idea what treatment is best for vocals and which room would make the best blank slate to work with.

Thanks a lot ahead of time
 
Are you going to be mixing in the room as well? Or just recording vocals?

If it's really just for vocals, and you have to work with $200, then I would choose the 8x8. Think about the average studio vocal booth-- small and acoustically dead. You can build absorbers with wood frames and some type of insulation, or apply the insulation directly to the walls. Check out Bonded Logic Ultratouch denim insulation. It has incredible specs for broadband absorption, it's fairly cheap, and you can get it at Menards. I used the R13 3.5" thick batts to build panels for my one room studio. I also built corner bass traps with Roxul Rockboard 60, but you may not need bass traps for a vocal booth. For $200, you could cover roughly 60% of the walls (especially if you you aren't worried about the appearance).
