i`ve got a little studio set up in my converted garage and ive been getting some nice sounds out of it, but when im recording my vox im getting a lot of slap back reverb and i think its coming from the corners. can anyone offer any cheap solutions as how to kill this ?
i`ve included a pic of the room for you guys
Methinks you need a few more panels; looks like quite a few parallel walls with no treatment on either side. If you want to keep the room more live, first thing is to place panels (no hard backs) across any and all available corners, including wall/ceiling ones; then smaller, spot treatments on parallel walls - if there's absorbent on ONE side of the room, the opposite space should be NOT absorbed; in other words, alternate absorber panels so only one side has absorption, but move them around (kind of a checkerboard approach) I'm still trying to find a good way to word this, so don't feel bad if it doesn't make sense...
What you're hearing is likely flutter echo, I can see at least one candidate in the form of the bare wall I see opposite your CR window - that wall should have a large panel directly across from the window.
Maybe a better description of the first paragraph: take two checkerboards (the actual game board) and place them parallel to each other, like two parallel walls - move one of them until wherever there's a RED square on one, there's a BLACK square on the other. For two parallel walls, the red would be absorption and the black would be NO absorption... Steve
