Vocal booth on the cheap

[ez_willis]

Why not just build some framed panels out of rigid fiberglass/rockwool and place them around the singer? Unless you make it airtight, it won't be anywhere near "soundproof," but it will kill reflections for a fairly dead vocal sound.

Airtight booths are good for drummers to play in, for a few hours.

Air tight?
So how does the vocalist breath?!

Airtight booths are good for drummers to play in, for a few hours.

And after the first few hours, they're even better.

He doesn't. That's why you send the drummer in.

 

[ecktronic]

HEee.
Of course.

In my last place I converted a walkin closet to a vocal/guitar booth with two layers of bubble wrap stapled to the walls.

 

[ecktronic]

Cool.
And how good was the bubble wrap at killing reflections?
