10-4, good idea. It’s now on the list. You’ve been a great help and resource. Many thanks, Scott.

Thanks, Scott. Checked it out. Might very well be part of an affordable solution. I would otherwise never have thought about something like it. Much appreciated!

Hi, Scott. I like your idea about creating a self contained recording area. It makes sense that a smaller area would be easier to control. I’ll probably have to wait for awhile before tackling something of that magnitude. But I’m wondering about the egg crate material… what’s your read on using the foam type instead of the pressed paper? The foam type is fairly inexpensive and is usually used as a mattress pad for folks who are bed bound. Thank you for taking the time to respond… also like that Red Adair quote! :>)

Hi, Mark. I’m entry level on all of this, so ideas and approaches from experienced users is greatly appreciated! Your first sentence regarding mic placement hit home. My condenser mic on a Rode arm is attached to an old desk in our spare room and the desk sits smack up against… well, the wall. All of the walls are bare at this point (last chick has left the nest so it has become the ‘studio’). Getting the walls covered this weekend is the next project. I’m also discovering that distance from the mic head to the mouth is an important factor as well. Many thanks for your comments! Michael
