Every time I think I should invest in a vocal booth, the prices blow me away. So I tried this. And in case you guys think I am putting you on, no, I am serious, so no laughing.
Ya, I saw something like yours at Guitar Center today. $99 for the cheapest and up to to 200-300 for bigger units. I wanted to haggle with the sales guy, but he ignored me.
How do you like it?
I admit, mine is a mess, but I do think it helps.
My recording studio room has no acoustic treatment. It is actually more like a spare bedroom than a studio, heck, it is a spare bedroom but my wife lets me use it to pretend.
I ordered that Mario as they offered free world wide shipping. 3 months later they agreed that it had failed to arrive and returned my payment. Didn't solve my problem and it was a big fail on the customer service side. No attempt to send me one. Not even a proper apology. Now I see that they don't ship to Hong Kong anymore. Just saw that I can get one in China - probably made there!

I believe the one that Matt pointed out above is the same unit I was viewing at guitar center today. At $99 that may be the right price? And I do like doing business with Sweetwater

If you can get that for $99, do it. It was about $250 when I first bought it.
EDIT: Nope, different product that did not exist when I bought mine. Mine is now $200. Unfortunately, the Guitar Center website gives no specs at all, so I don't know how they are different. I suspect the more expensive one is larger.

BIAB 2026 Win Audiophile. Software: Fender Studio One 8, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Presonus Quantom HD8 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.
I think mine was about 150 from guitar center. It is pretty heavy and solid. I have foam blocks stacked on top and clipped in the back so I get a pretty pure sound hitting the mic, which is tucked inside. (See picture in my first post.) It takes hours and hours and hours to correct thin vocals and it's impossible anyway, so I said what the heck and spent the spent the cash.
It sounds like the difference between night and day when you play things back. Very rich. It makes a huge difference.
Well Amazon offered it to me for just over £31, $40 or so, in a lightening deal, usually only lasts a few hours. The company Neewer do make different models of this and different sizes too, this one is the NW6 model, good size too.
Very pleased with it so far, fits well on mic stand, well made everything seems top quality. Since I have it only a few weeks haven't tried it out yet as regards recording, but have no reason to believe that it won't work. I think these things will dampen the sound reflections a bit but no way will get rid of the lot, so singing inside a duvet may well be the best option for that...lol.
They guy in one of the reviews said its too heavy for most stands but fits fine on my one, and its only a cheapie.But hey it sure looks pro always wanted one.
I think it may have been Mario in a previous thread who pointed me in the direction of this one or something similar, so thanks Mario.
Windows 10 (64bit) M-Audio Fast Track Pro, Band in a Box 2025, Cubase 14, Cakewalk and far too many VST plugins that I probably don't need or will ever use
This goes on sale occasionally for $49 USD. That is what I paid for it also.
My room has no acoustic treatment either and this made a huge difference in my recording quality.
Mario,
The link says it's currently $139.00 - they really drop this to the $50.00 range? Holy smokes ... that's more than a deal! I'll have to keep my eyes open.
There isn't much that will make my voice sound good (other than a silencer - no, not one you put on a Smith & Wesson!). But it might make Di sound even better, when she's healthy enough to sing. Thanks for the link.
Not to say it would suit everybody but I use a furniture blanket hung in a double closet opening. I have clothes in there (behind the blanket) and they deaden it a bit. I cover the doors and the floor.
I have a friend with a full recording studio in his smallish house where I record sometimes. He uses a closet, but boy, does it get hot and stuffy (and I'm also a claustrophobe). Thanks for all the ideas!

I made a 4'x4'x6.5' PVC frame & covered it with 6 72x80 moving blankets....works great after the blankets were washed. The fluffed up some more.
I am also using a piece of drain pipe & a large computer "muffin fan" to get some air in there. A few cables under the blanket and I am good to go!
Sorry, no pictures ATM due to it being collapsed, but I will take some the next time I set it up. In the mean time you can see where I got my ventilation idea from on this site...
