Hey.

I've been doing some research and a lot of thinking thanks to you knight...
Anyway, i was thinking would it be possible to combine the idea of room treatment and the vocal booth?

My room is pretty small, 12m2 so i really cant afford puttin a chamber in it with all the stuff already in.

So i was thinking, building a panel about 1m*2m with the acoustic foam aplied on one side. The triangular one, Jahn sayers is suggesting on his site as a possible absorber.
I was thinking building such panles and putting it on the long walls just as John is suggesting adding the slot resonators. The mirror thing...
That way i would have 4 such panels and i could just slide it to the center of the room whenever i would like to record some vocals.

So i was thinking with the foam on the side-walls i could still do something with the back-rear wall.
How would covering 2 walls with acoustic foam change the room sound treatment?
Would it?
Better r worse.

I know covering it too much would kill the sound of the room, becoming it dead sounding. I do not want that!
But leave it echoing as it is now is also not an option.
THanks for the replies Knightfly
 
Would it be better of doing it the other way around?

Instead of foaming the ''panels'' would it be okay f i jsut build 4 panels, on ply, rigid fiberglass, cloth....Ethan style?

I would really like to have ''2 things in one'' scenario if that would be reasonable soundwise!
Again the room is small, and doing the treatment and the vocal booth is not an option.
Building a moveable panels, that would serve as an absorber in a listening room and as an absorber in a ''vocal booth'' sounds like a plan to me!
How would that affect the sound in the ''booth''?
IS it better if you do vocals in an dead-sounding environment(pyramid Acoustic foam all around)
 
I don't think you really need to worry about a vocal booth. Treat the room with the right amount of panels on the walls, and you should be able to record vocals without a problem. If you want different sounds from the same room, you can change your mic technique (use cardioid mics, distance from mic, distance from wall, aimed into corner, etc.)
 
And treat the room with acoustic foam is not a good option at all or just a bit worse than with the traps?
