I don't know much about room treatment. Actually, believe it or not I record with a usb condenser mic in a room that isn't treated at all, and with mixing (not mine of course) I get studio quality results. I'm only 17 by the way, so I'm a bit limited as far as what I can do.

I'm moving and the room I'll be in isn't good for recording. You know when you clap you get some type of a feedback, like a metallic reflection.. that's what I get in this room. So I'm guessing it's not gonna be good for recording.

I only record vocals so I'm thinking about getting a reflection shield and that should be good enough... or will I need other treatment?

Also, I read that a room with no carpet is best to record in. I have always heard the opposite, so I'm not sure. In that case, I have a finished basement available, but I didn't choose that room because I was thinking it would be bad to record in because it's, well, an untreated basement.

So would a reflection shield be all I need? And is recording in a basement better or worse? I would think worse, but I obviously don't know much.

One more thing, I know there is a lot of advanced people here, so if this question is basic and something that is asked a lot, I don't mean to bother anybody. Help is really appreciated though.

I would probably be able to get some pictures up if needed.
