And in case you guys think I am putting you on, no, I am serious, so no laughing. What do you guys do?

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.

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. Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer. It's called the Heineken Maneuver. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

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! Last edited by lambada; 10/14/17 03:48 PM.

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. Last edited by Matt Finley; 10/14/17 03:56 PM. BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile.

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. Looks like $99 at Sweetwater. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ReflexionX?mrkgcl=28&mrkgadid=3232942755&rkg_id=h-8b470075c4be4a051f24ca0c6297efa9_t-1508036287&product_id=ReflexionX&campaigntype=shopping&campaign=aaShopping%2520-%2520Core%2520-%2520Studio%2520%26%2520Recording&adgroup=Studio%2520%26%2520Recording%2520-%2520Studio%2520Furniture%2520%26%2520Acoustic%2520Treatment&placement=google&adpos=1o1&creative=213185928368&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIl9zM8tDx1gIViR6GCh0bjAZeEAQYASABEgKD0vD_BwE David Snyder Songwriter/Renaissance Man Studio + Fingers https://davidsnydersongs.com/ https://spoti.fi/359Gigs www.davidsnydermusic.com/ www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder www.soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel https://www.songtradr.com/user/profile/david.snyder

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. Musiclover Last edited by musiclover; 10/15/17 08:06 AM.

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.

I have clothes in there (behind the blanket) and they deaden it a bit. I cover the doors and the floor. I like the portable vocal booth idea, too. i5-3210 laptop.

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... https://www.vocalboothtogo.com/product/quiet-ventilation-fan-muffler/ Also, this guy has built one that is extremely close to how I did it, I used large clips instead of shower hooks..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWEGdBJ1AAE Hope this helps! i5 3.20GHz, 32gb RAM, 1tb SSD OS, 12tb HDD, 4gb gForce vid card, 32" monitor, Audient id44, Win10 x64, BiaB/RB 2023, Reaper 6,IK Multimedia Total Studio 3.5 MAX, Waves 10
