Peter, I second John's reply. You can also consider hanging heavy curtains an inch off the walls on tracks. You can then open or close them to liven up the room if needed. Normally I record the vocalist (and instrument) dry, but give them a wet ear monitor feed if they need to get into the song more. I run carpet on the floor but also have a piece of plywood leaning behind the curtain to lay down if needed. The ceiling is heavy curtain material that is suspended from the corners and in the middle of the room. Try Johns method or this before investing in a lot of time and expense. I know there are some more crafty "forumers" out there as wellGood luck. DennisD
