Help with Small VO Booth/Room
Posted: Thu Jul 29, 2021 6:54 am
Amazing amounts of info here. Thank you all for adding to it! I'm learning slowly.
I know the "treat a small room" is a bit of old topic but I'd like your thoughts on best approach to treating my specific planned space. I have done a lot of searching but each space and situation is slightly different than mine.
I've got the isolation build plans handled at this point. What I'm up against next is trying to keep some of my space while treating it properly.
I'll be using this space for voiceover work only.
The interior space will be (approx) 4'x8' and 6'10" H (122cm x 244cm x 208cm H) 2x 5/8" Gypsum walls/ceiling and a concrete floor.
Door on one of the 4' sides. No window.
I've read that due to the small size of the room I'm limited to simply treating it "dead" (or mostly dead.) I'd like to do this however while keeping as much of the space as possible. I work with 'cans' on so I'm more concerned with what the mic pics up (or doesn't.) What options would you suggest?
I've seen the rockwool panel builds and super chunk bass traps, but I'm going to be squeezed in tight losing another 8"+ on my width. I've seen the 'compact panel' type packages at Sweetwater and other sellers. Can anyone vouch for any of those? Of course there's always $acoustic foam$
I really appreciate your feedback!
Thanks again, J
