soundproofing a vocal booth/closet

mixer guy · 4th October 2011

Hey guys,
I have a 6 1/2 L X 4 W X 9 H closet that I am looking to turn into a vocal booth. What would take to get the best performance possible out of it? Any ideas?

Well, it will never be ideal, your best bet would be lining the interior with about 4-6 inches of Owens Corning 703, but that's quite expensive and will eat up a lot of space(up to 1ft smaller in every dimension.) I would prefer to treat my "control room" and go the one room studio route, much better for sound quality.

Take the walls down and increase the size of your control room. Seriously. A box will always sound...er, boxy. The one room studio approach is definately the way forward.
