"Typically a blanket style recording booth is put together with a series of PVC piping and sound blankets surrounding the microphone setup. This allows the user to dismantle and pack the studio and also transport the booth with relative ease." The Rudegang Recording booth features: • Two sound blankets with grommets hanging across their gigantic window • One sound panel on the wall • Two hanging panels made of a dissected rug with soundproofing foam sewn on • A toy net hanging above the booth filled with extra foam • Soundproof foam lining the corner • Another rug on the floor • A divider panel behind the microphone • Four blackout curtains "Closing off the space with this setup, we're able to achieve the type of silence we would pay hundreds of dollars for in a high- end studio, but I didn't get my booth this way overnight." Patrick's journey to the ideal soundbooth was lined with challenges. • buying the wrong gear • ineffective setups • crashed recording sessions • Research • info interviews with real engineers While these homemade studios aren't as high quality as a professional recording studio, they are affordable, accessible and safe during this time of quarantine. What will you record in your DIY recording booth?
