| Sometimes in rented premises you can't afford to be making damages to a ceiling or wall once the traps are removed unless you are a handy plasterer!
I know of a very successful drummer/singer who has recently had a huge hit and his vocals were tracked in his closet using dovets (bed covers to deaden the doors).
The article by Ethan has very good points and advantages if you can treat the room you have a good mix space as well.
But when it is not possible to go beyond a few picture frames on a wall and ceiling, a booth could be useful. Micing amps in it as well can be fun as for recording vocals in very hard work disadvantaged by singing in a dead space. You have to rely on adding reverb to sing to and get used to cans to track in.
The expense of making a Tardis (BBC "Dr Who" fans) sound dead as it must be dead to be of use is the question. |
