| Much props for setting up your own booth. It will indeed teach you something. Any time you do it yourself. It may not work like you intended but youll learn something that you can apply to something else. Even a mistake when controlled can be used to create certain effects. Phill Collins is a great example, the story on how some of his pianos on his early albums ended up sounding like they did was many times a mistake that he harnessed as a technique.
I do have the SE Reflection Filter and I do like it. It has helped on my vocals alot. I do have a carpeted floor, but no wall treatment. For me it was a great move. Much drier, and created better presence, it still is no substitute for an actual booth though. Like some one mentioned however, when eq and reverb are applied you probably cant tell if the room was a booth and properly treated or not especially when the music is added to the vocal track.
Keep being creative. You may need to add more foam or some type of other absorbing and diffusing material to your booth, but you are well on your way to having a booth regardless and Im sure it will help your vocals better than not having anything. Also like some one already said, check your mic direction pattern. |
