Alrigh... I'm pretty clueless about this - so I may be way off point haha... Basically, i only use my PC to record draft versions of tracks (only record vocals), but im restricted to when i can do this cos of the fact the whole house hears me when im recording... If i build a soundbooth, will this elimate this problem? i dont have to be unheard, but just quieter... I was thinking all i need is to build a booth from wood (not sure what type?) and then buy soundproofing foam for it... Will this work or am i way off point? like i said, i know nothing about this - just a quick though - so any help is MAD appreciated! Cheers...
also, forgot to add, it needs to be small, and probably easy to take down/put up... im startin to think this is goin to be impossible hahahaha...
Check out the first link on this page http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2125 It will explain most of what it takes to get things sound "proof", and it's NOT foam... Steve Oh, and you're probalbly right; although whisperroom sells booths that are takedown; they're just not very soundproof, and they cost around $5-6000... Steve
Cheers... will read it in the mornin!
