Does anyone have any advice on minimum dimensions for a vocal isolation booth ? I have a small room (10' x 11') that my wife is letting me use for a home studio in our new house. What would be a compromise between comfort, function, and floor space for an iso booth ? Any tips on making it portable, movable, etc. ?
Thanks in advance if anyone can help, Silver
 
The smallest one made by the folks at vocalbooth.com is a 4' x 4' chamber. I can't imagine trying to work in anything smaller than that.

Cheers.

thanks

Thanks man, that website was kind of interesting it gave me some ideas, Silver
 
No problem, here are some other sites you might find interesting:

www.whisperroom.com
www.wenger.ent
www.tubetrap.com

Another solution that looks promising can be found at www.markertek.com. Head to their site, and click on "Acoustic Foam" - they have some solutions there at pretty good prices ($595 for a basic single booth setup).

Also, you can do it yourself - this depends on your comfort level with powertools - lol. If you want to do it yourself, but don't have all the right tools and know-how, don't fret. Check out the articles on speaker isolation booths and rooms at www.amptone.com. You can get quite lost on their homepage - lots of good stuff, so here is a direct link:

Among other things there, they outline a pretty easy method using a couple of hinged closet doors that you can buy at a Home Depot.

Another follow-up - while doing more research on iso booths, I came across a rather interesting site:

http://www.hushabooth.com/

Their product looks like a pretty good solution for a home/basement setup. I've sent in an inquiry for more information ...

Their booths start around $399 or so, and you can get all sorts of options added in, such as a clip-on light, foam upgrades, monitor headphone box (cool!), a plexiglass window kit, etc.

Cheers.
