What do you think? Vocal booth, or just track vocals in your control room?
you should try recording in your control room with a knockoff kaotica eyeball (I actually have both and I prefer the knockoff bc it sounds less muddy!) also thats basically how $uicideBoy$ records their stuff but they actually use the real Kaotica with a U87...
Is a vocal booth that's purely made out of plywood and acoustic foam enough? Some guy here on UA-cam says no you need isolation wool, drywall and other stuff so that sound doesn't get through the walls. What do you think? I need a for voice over
@@princeicio I don’t think you need to go really over the top with building a massive booth that’s completely sealed off from the rest of the world. I’ve see some booths built like that here on UA-cam and that’s really cool, but that’s probably a bit overkill. I found a lot of success with packing blankets honestly. If you bought a handful of those and just rigged them up somewhere near the middle of your room, I think you’d pretty well take care of any reflections and you wouldn’t have to worry nearly as much about bass frequency build up, because you’ll be as far away from the corners of your room as possible.
@@JustinTutor I appreciate the quick reply, Justin. Okay I think I'm gonna go with plywood and acoustic foam panels. Check out the guy, he built it easily.

@@princeicio yeah man that looks awesome! Best of luck with that. I hope it works well for you dude.
Appreciate the trial w/ different set-ups. Would love to hear differences in how a 'singing' voice sounds in those various situations.
Thanks for information ℹ️ & inspired as vocalist & sound engineer & musician , I would use the room, but down to preference , I like the idea of the pipe as that saw on another video & throw over acoustic blanket, ideally any I would think
First of all thank you for this comparison.
My thoughts : 1. Definitely avoid the closet (even with panels up) 2. PVC+Blanket Top is best sounding .. to take it a step further I would just hang a piece of blanket on the back side of the artist and I think you got yourself a good recording environment.
I actually always roll my vocalists up in a sleeping bag and have em sing under the bed.
You mean hang an additional blanket behind the vocalist outside of the blanket booth?
Looking for a space for audiobooks, so your video is great with different tests!
i like the closet better it just boxy, only reason i like it because the low end sounds smooth.
I’m literally going through this same process. Have a full blanket booth but noticed a build up of of low and low/mids when I was recording vocals in a 6’x6’ untreated closet. Moved the booth outside the closet in an open untreated room, still think it sounds a bit unnatural. I just built acoustic panels and was going to try and treat my 6’x6’ closet and set up the blanket booth but was fearful it would still suffer from low low/mid buildup…
A very helpful video. I'll bet if you set up the fully blanketed pipe booth in the treated closet you'd take it to another level.
Thanks for checking out the video! I’m actually in a new space right now that is treated pretty well and it definitely takes it to another level when I throw the blanket booth up.
I’m always trying to get more snare sizzle on my vox
Just try to really help it cut through the mix lol
Would've loved this with an actual vocalist
The problem with the low mids in the blanket fort vs the treated room isnt a problem with materials, it's a problem with room dimensions. Its a perfect square so even if it's dead there are some constructive modes building up. If you made a vocal booth with better dimensions it would sound a lot better than a perfect square.
I think it would be really dope to have a dedicated vocal booth, but for now I've been using the kaotica eyeball.
I just checked that out and it looks dope man. I’ve never heard of the eyeball before.
@@JustinTutor it definitely takes some time getting used to - gain staging & mixing, but its been pretty beneficial for me
tbh I prefer having an Eyeball in my control room and not having a vocal booth so I can do everything wayyyy faster
@@purpleheart69420 true
What you think about having both?
Not really. But nice to have one.
I like the idea of the Vocal booth I have a very small space, what blanket do you recommend to make one? I have seen some that are acoustic but I would like to buy the best quality one.
I think building one that you can take down and store away when you’re not using it would be great! These aren’t acoustic blankets and they work great. They’re just regular packing blankets that one would use when moving. You can buy them at most hardware stores or just on Amazon!
@@JustinTutor Thanks for answering I was looking at this company that manufactures acoustic blankets, they are a little more expensive but I'm not sure they will give a better result www.vocalboothtogo.com/product-category/acoustic-sound-blankets-sound-absorption-panels-producers-choice/
it sounds like early reflection?
for a voice actor.
yes. you need a dedicated recording space.
hey dude, what microphone did you use in this video?
Audio Technica AT-2035 I believe!
@@JustinTutor great sounding microphone
Yap yap yap yap yap
foookin pop filter
Lol it seems to me you’re undecided between the blanket and treated booth. For a moment I thought the blanket sounded better, just my opinion.
I would appreciate number of blankets you used and approximate dimensions for rack frame. thanks
Looking back now, I definitely preferred the blanket booth haha. Actually, that blanket booth is likely my first or second favorite vocal "booth" setup I've ever had. I don't own the frame or blankets anymore, so I may be a little off on the dimensions, but I think it was like 7' tall and 3' by 3' for the base. It was somewhere between 5 and 6 blankets. Just generic packing blankets purchased off of amazon.
@@JustinTutor
Thanks my friend I’m really considering doing this, at least for now.
@@apostolicway2604 I don’t think you’ll regret it my friend.
@@JustinTutor
What size is the pipe, 1”?
@@apostolicway2604 I believe so.
You have a lot of plosive pop on your p's, which distorts the recording unpleasantly. I assume you just went with it for this video because it's easier, but just in case you didn't know, you can use pop filters to reduce that distortion you hear around your p's. (You can also use angled mike positioning to the front and side of your mouth, pointing at your mouth, instead of right in front of your mouth. You can also learn how to pronounce p with less pop.)
That closet booth is useless without bass traps
when you said "gear sluts" It sounded like kurt cobain
You’re to close to the mic
Obviously untreated room is unusable. I think treated closest is the best of the bunch but still not ideal. Blanket booth sounded boomy
And closet sound boxy. No thanks
@@ridinglow6732 I'm with you man! Just treat a room properly, no shortcuts
