99% of the time the mics are used for vocals with the condenser getting the most the work. When BobH, my musician partner, and I both sing I will use the dynamic. The 1% is used for recording things like percussion, my glockenspiel, or when recording other people's acoustic guitars.

The isolation shield and closet idea should work, especially if you live in a noisy area. If you don't live in a noisy area you may not need the closet. The isolation ball is very good at blocking extraneous noises from all directions.

I hope this helps.


Thanks Mario, good points. I'll experiment with just the ball first and see what works. There is a good amount of traffic going by outside my window, but perhaps the ball will block it out.
