Hello,

I am just starting to record my own rap music and I am building a little corner to record it in there.

Thats the place:

The walls are plaster boards so I want to sound proof it best as possible. This is place is the lowest echo place in my room. The wall to the right is the outside wall.

I was thinking to put MDF boards on the walls and make a ceiling on height of about 2m, then I was thinking about putting sound proof tiles on that.

Does anyone have any diffrent suggestions?

Regards,
Maciej.
 
What do you mean by 'sound proof tiles'? You'll do better keeping the treated corner behind you to reduce the back reflections, facing out from it.
 
Sound proofing acoustic foam tiles.

Should I then turn the mic away from the corner and rise up a wall on front of it to make it like a closed environment?

I'm thinkin maybe treat that corner with a superchunk or trap it and then sing with your back to the corner and sing out into the room.
 
Would it be better to sign into the open space or into a 3 out of 4 ways closed and tiled + traps in corners?
 
You definitely don't want to face the corner. If you could stand in the middle of the room, you might find you don't need any treatment at all. BTW: You're talking about acoustic treatment, not sound proofing. Sound proofing kind of refers to isolating the room from external noise or vice verse.
 
And do some reading here about the uselessness of 'acosutic' foam as a general sound treatment product.
 
I am not able to move the stuff into middle of the room but how does that sound? Mic turned back to the corner, two corner bass traps and 2 acoustic foam tiles on the walls on the microphone height. Like this:

Since it's only for recording vocals, what you have there might be just fine. For that matter, your room might be fine even with no treatment, theoretically, since you're only recording vocals. We'll never know without hearing it.

But let's get one thing straight. Those ain't bass traps, Sally.
