Why would you use that?" What's the high-tech sound killer?"
Expensive sheets of sound-killer composit foam.

I don't really understand how you would frame it though.angles are based on measurements. just lay down some painter tape to align the framing. remove the tape prior to adding drywall.
I do have a PDF file of this in D size but its too big to post here due to the 64Kb limit on files...
here's a vox booth plan I posted on John's web site:

Ahh right, cool.my fault - bad example in the drawing but simple enough when constructing - cut the base plates to join on the angle and overlap if double plate on top. place studs on 90 degrees to plates and fill gap with a ripped down blocking.
With parallel walls sound waves reflect back on themselves(cancelling and doubling), causing peaks and nulls at certain frequencies. It also cause standing waves(room modes) and flutter echo. The can all be avoided with non-parallel walls, AND careful use of absorption. Generally, imo, absorption is the easier method, although it does deaden a room(reducing the reverb time), which non-parallel rooms doesn't do. People say this can suck the life out of the recording, although reverb can be added later which solves this problem, imo. With the choice of reverbs available with FX, you can make it sound as though it has been recorded in a huge auditorium, if you wish, when it is just a small booth in your room.Why would you use that?
To prevent reflection through the whole spectrum?? No?
was this...
... recorded in a booth made of these pink plates and duct tape?
It's amazing. Although they scream like hell I can't hear anything!!!
Hi,i've drawn up a simple booth suitable for drums or vox, if it helps.
