It will give you a dry vocal, but not TOO dead, and will give you a little bit of silkiness. It might cost you the cost of a couple comforters if you can&#8217;t convince your wife that &#8220;they will be put to good use&#8230;&#8221; but chalk up $40-50 bux and get the biggest comforters you can get from target or the like. (if that is too much, you might try browsing a couple thrift shops too.) You&#8217;ll also need some way to suspend them from the ceiling. i.e. hanger wire. (so go to home depot or the like after you&#8217;ve secured the blankets, and pick up a spool of hanger wire, or whatever your celing situation dictates..<\/p>\n<p>1. buy, find, pull out of your closet; the two biggest comforters you got. (you&#8217;ll want em pretty thick too)<\/p>\n<p>2. sem em together. (the short sides)<\/p>\n<p>3. sew thick loops of fabric along the top edge. ( i did 10 or 12&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>4. suspend the blanket from the ceiling using the wire forming a diamond like shape, or two v&#8217;s connected &#8230;. something like this &lt;&gt;<\/p>\n<p>5. Enjoy! the drier you want get closer to it, the less dry, move farther away&#8230; play around with the mics placement in there, i guarantee you find some of those, THATS THE SPOT&#8217;s&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Now just record great performances, use effective gain staging, and you&#8217;ll track great vocal recordings everytime!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a simple solution, and maybe the cheapest vocal recording booth for your home\/project studio.
