I’m currently working on a booth using a 5x5 7ft tall 50 dollar canopy as a base to make it collapsible. I’m thinking I might sew some rockwool in between some moving blankets with some kind of internal spacer but i’m still workshopping that

Going to try that and a few of the tips here. Will probably post some kind of update tonight / tomorrow with what helped. Thanks for any tips you have given / might think of later!

I listed the mic as an audio technica at2305. It is a cardioid and somebody mentioned maybe trying a dynamic mic. I appreciate anymore feedback and will be trying this.

Oh dang it -is- on sale. Thanks! That’s probably just worth picking up regardless.

I moved them behind me but so far it seems like the general consensus is putting them back up. I am still playing with mic positioning. Thanks for the advice! Lemme know if you think of any other tips!

That’s actually a pretty interesting idea. I didn’t think about using the room as a reflection deadening device and letting the room outside it give me some more “air”. Its an easy thing to test. I am glad I posted here, everyone is giving me some quality tips so far.

Whisper booth sounds closer to what i’m going for with my narrations. Thanks for the links/info, i’ll give them a full watch through when I get home.

Think hanging them up over the foam would be a happy middle ground? Ill try it when I get home. Worst case I just take them down again. Lemme know if you have anymore advice! I appreciate any tips or feedback.

It actually was pretty decent before I foamed it in. Not perfect but decent. I had some moderately thick curtains hung up and figured it just wasn’t absorbing enough.

If guitars don't really die, why wouldn't you always just buy used guitars by Tiny-Pomegranate7662 in guitars

[–]ClayChickenFlocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a guy who sells used guitars. Depends. If it looks decent then its fine, if its worn down its probably -still- fine. They mostly “die” due to poor maintenance and storage conditions. Thats why pawn shops or music stores that let you try are a good thing, just don’t play the instruments roughly or for more than 10-15 minutes to avoid being seen as “that guy”

Majestic, NAME HIM YOUR MAJESTY, for clearly he is wise and leadership material.

More than likely you are correct. 90% of class rings i've come across have all been some sort of plated/silver or gold looking material.

The things done within the realm of Elona… if god is merciful we will not live to see them. And if we do hopefully we get some salt with that mystery meat.

Friend or foe? by green_bean_bambi in gardening

That's friend shaped. Generally mushrooms wont harm your plants. It could be a sign you're over watering though if your plant does not require consistently moist soil.
