Finally finished mt recording booth. Mainly constructed to allow my family to move freely about the house while I am recording. The "pillows" and "cloud" are Roxul ASB in burlap. Small, but functional.
I've attached an MP3 with some before and after narration from the booth. As for the chain....it's a short one. Since I'm only doing straight narration, there is no need for multi-channel mixing, etc. One guy, one mic. I'm using an AT-2020 USB condenser mic directly into a Lenovo G570 laptop. As far as software, I have both Audacity (1.3.14 alpha, slightly modified...thanks again Ed) and Sound Forge (10.0), but for what I'm doing, Audacity is easiest.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thank you all for the kind words. I'm pleased that I've inspored some of you to build your own rooms. Looking forward to seeing an hearing the final result.
