More control on vocals reflections?!

[filete]

Testing an AT3035 thru VTB-1 Studio Projects Preamp,
directly to a Pro Tools HD rig, send signal to headphones mix.

Here is some pictures to shown where mic placement is, I am
using same room for tracking and mixing.
All the room has been treat with 100mm bass traps and 50 mm early reflections panels.
But because the vocal spot is in a corner with a ceiling slope,
I was thinking of adding some 50mm Auralex pyramid foam on the spots indicating by the red arrows:

1. Here you can see the angle of the ceiling, the distance height between
the mic and the ceiling is 50 cm. So I´m almost sure that is better to fix early reflections there.
You can see also one of the 16 blue 50 mm RockWool panels that I´ve made, they are great!

2. A closer look...

3. Here you can see the bass trap on the corner, and the other two
spots I want to put the pyramid foam, the distance from the mic to the
left wall (when the singer is in front of the mic), is 56 cm.
The other wall on the back of the singer is at 80 cm from mic.

4. At last, this is the view from the back of the singer,
this wall as mention before is 80 cm from the mic.

5. Here is a capture with PAZ plugin from a vocal sing, chain is only mic to preamp and direct to Pro Tools.

Uff..!! Sorry for the long post,
but I really need some advise on this issue.

I appreciate any help.
Thanks

Can you put the mic somewhere else? Singing right into a wall like that will result in reflections that are almost the same volume as the main signal (bad). It probably sounds like a slap-back delay. You would have to really deaden the entire area with broadband absorbers to keep reflections at bay. Alternately, can you place some of your panels directly around the vocalist while tracking to make a makeshift vocal booth?

Yes. Maybe you could just turn it around, so that the vocalist is singing into the center of the room.

Take a blanket, or towel (not too thick) and drape it to block the backside of the microphone ... try to get it fairly close to the mic, but don't make it touch the mic ... that should stop a bunch of the ambiant reflections from hitting the backside of the mic. That's my homemade solution - though I only have to record myself - I don't have to make it look pretty hehe ...

anyway, it's free .... just make sure it doesn't introduce too much other weirdness ...
