I'm not sure quite where to post this.... here goes!

How does a person learn to use gobos effectively?

I record acoustic (bluegrass, etc.) and will have a decent size room for tracking. It's really going to be a family living space/teaching room/office... (650sq ft ish).

What I need...

Excellent isolation between Upright bass, Ac Guitar, Mandolin, Fiddle, Banjo, Reso guitar, Vocal, etc. I will have one moderately sized isolation booth and the "control room" for additional tracking if necessary.

I have tried to isolate folks with gobos before and have always been disappointed with the bleed. If the mando picker wants to fix the end of a solo, the bassist has to punch a couple of notes to get rid of the mysterious 2nd mando player... etc.

I'm not new to recording, have some decent high/mid-end gear, and just want to learn how to do the gobo thing effectively! Any suggestions to that end are welcome!

Thanks a buch! If I should post this elsewhere, I'm happy to do that!
