Hi Harvey.. I'm fairly new here.. I've been reading for years, but just started posting a few things here and their..
at any rate.. I just read your bio, and WOW! What an impressive resume.. So #1, I wanted to tell you how much I for one appreciate that someone of your status makes themselves availible in these forrums to answer questions etc..
So I have two questions for you.. #1.. I'm going to start using a U87 ai next week through a ffISA220.. Currently I have a make shift booth in my closet, but I fear it is too small.. and bringing the current mic (ma200) out into the room has introduced more noise then what I deem to be acceptable.. (mostly room reflections). So my questions comes in several parts I suppose.. #1.. how small is too small for a booth.. my closet is only about 3' deep.. it is recessed into the wall to the left of the entrance and is in total about 6' in length, 8' tall, with another door on the opposite wall, and the opposite end that opens up into the adjacent living area, the floor is carpeted.. the walls are textured.. I hope that makes sense.. so A. Is that too small? B. Could I improve the room enough with treatments to bring the mic in the room? It's a small room.. 8'x8'x8'.. C. where would you recommend placing the treatments for the purpose of recording vocals in the room? Is there such a thing as overdoing it or could I plaster every wall? Please forgive me if this question isn't reasonable to answer.. or if you've already answered this elsewhere..
and question #2.. Will you teach me everything you know!?!?!?!? I'm a good student!!!
