The 2nd important effect we have to use for vocals is Compressor. The vocal track is the most unbalanced one in all audio recording tracks. We usually use condenser microphones to record vocals. As you know, Condenser mics are very sensitive. The sensitiveness of these condenser mics makes vocal tracks more unbalanced because they record maximum dynamics of the sound source. So, how would you get rid of this?
A compressor compresses the higher dynamics and keeps them under a certain range. For example. If you have a vocal track that exceeds -6dB at certain points. Then all the points where the vocal exceeds -6dB automatically come under the -6dB range. But applying too much compressor ruins your vocal or other. If you apply too much compressor or use the wrong compressor format, you could lose the original dynamics of the sound and get chipped sound.
Moreover, compressing is one of the toughest parts of the audio recording. You have to be very experienced to set up compressors correctly. Presets really do well if you are a newbie.

Where Does the Treatment Actually Go? Unlike a larger room being treated for listening or live instruments, a vocal booth or isolation booth , has one purpose: to record a solo voice or instrument. For this reason, the placement of panels is less about where they are and more about the overall effectiveness and total coverage. What you plan to use the booth for is very important to determine the amount of coverage necessary.
For best results, clear out the space to prepare it for adding proper acoustic treatment. Remove cloths, shelves, racks, and clutter to make ample space. Also, ensure the surfaces are flat before applying the acoustic treatment. If the lighting in your closet is noisy, consider using LED lights or bulbs.
Also, ensure you have a power source to run your recording equipment. Acoustically treat the inside of the closet to create a sound booth. Cover the walls, floor, ceiling, windows, door, and other reflective surfaces. For example, lay thick rugs or carpet on the floor if you have hard surface flooring. Next, cover the walls with dense absorbent material. Use thick blankets, rugs, carpet, mattresses, egg-crate foam, or acoustic panels.
You will need tacks, nails, or adhesive to secure the materials to the walls. Lastly, consider hanging blanks, towels, or other absorbent material from the ceiling if needed. For best results, try to cover most hard surface areas. You may have to experiment with different materials and rooms until you achieve the optimum result.
The mattress fort is the easiest DIY vocal booth. You surround yourself with mattresses to absorb sound reflections and room sound. The drawback is mattresses are a pain to stack and store. This cheap vocal booth alternative also provides better isolation and absorption than the closet method.
The extra thick material of a mattress will dampen and absorb more frequencies in the mids and low-mids. As a result, your vocal recordings will sound more balanced.
However, the effectiveness of a mattress booth depends on the design and the mattresses. For example, thicker materials like memory foam work better than a box spring mattress. The design will vary on how many mattresses you have. Any of the following configurations will work:. If your vocal booth is on hard flooring, consider laying a thick rug or carpet.
The blanket booth is one of the best all-around DIY vocal booths. However, it will cost you more than the previous two solutions. Also, there are several ways to make a blanket recording booth. Check online for various guides and blueprints.
However, this example looks at building a PVC pipe frame for hanging several acoustic blankets. The PVC vocal booth design gives you full isolation with sound-absorbing material on all sides. Moreover, the blanket vocal booth is semi-portable. You can assemble and disassemble it easy depending on the design. You can also get as complex or simple as you like with this booth. Before you get started and buy the material, figure out the size of your booth.
