Home Recording against Studio Recording

[mikeshead]

Hmm, interesting.
The reason I mention it is because I record in my shed. It is heavily carpeted with lots of none parallel angles heavy curtains (size 16Ft x 12 x 8). The best recording position (that I have found) is facing the doors, drawing the doubled heavy curtains but with the doors wide open. Since opening the doors improves the sound I wondered if I should go all the way and try outside? Any suggestions that are not rude? (I don’t include my neighbours in that request)

Would it be rude if I were to say "Why don't you try it and see what you think"?

Not rude, just obvious. I'm scratching my head and thinking why stop to make that post? Why not just move the mic outside??? Eh, maybe the mic is really heavy.

Just slightly rude. (shame they don’t have an icon that just looks slightly sideways with half raised eyebrows).My problems isn’t that my mic is that heavy (although I could be severely dis abled...... but I’m not ( well not physically anyway). It’s more that I try to narrow the options I try by asking those who might know a bit more than me first (which is basically everyone). Also, I have tried many things which appear to work but when I have improved something else the initial upgrade is shown, sometimes to be a retrograde step. Hence asking for opinions first. Your response therefore was particularly innovative, daring and incredibly useful..........My profound thanks!
