some other people chime in! what works better for you? treatment in front or behind the mic & singer? my guess is that most people will say behind, but probably because they've never tried in front...

I say either way is gonna be some what of an improvement over nothing at all. But if I had to choose one, I'd audition both and see what works for that given situation, or just take care of reflections from both the front and the rear.

Why are we not also talking about killing reflections from the sides as well?
The sides are still a concern when using the cardiod pickup pattern.

And even the floor and the ceiling come into effect, especially if the floor is hardwood.

If you take care of the front, rear, sides, floor, and ceiling of the area you are recording in with the mic, you will basically have yourself a complete make-shift vocal booth.
