I am totally bios!!! Honestly we put the screen panel out to do more double duty as it can be used for bass trapping and general decay panels also.

Elephant

There is however an elephant in the room. The ceiling is very often the closest source of reflections.
Pro booths also have to provide significant sound isolation. A temporary booth made with panel traps on stands, with one across the top, won't stop sound but will likely outperform a booth sonically.

how about if you also put a trap on the ceiling as well where youre standing doing the vocals? put traps one on each side of the room surrounding onself and on ceiling and one of these portable solutions in the middle. i wonder if its gona be close to a real vocal booth. sound iso is a major issue in my apartment as well, ill probably might have to record at night to avoid the environmental noises.

It is not really going to iso so much, but help with reflections coming back into the mic. Here is a video of someone using our screen panel and walking around it while the girl is singing. As you can tell it does iso it a bit but not totally.


BTW putting panels on the ceiling also is a great idea.
