Home studio month is at the plate this round of the newsletter. This is an item that often translates into the convenience of a readily handy studio to work out our song ideas - but with the frequent downside though of needing great sound control capability. In particular I'm referring to the need to keep sound away from the rest of your home-life, read family members or other household occupants, including pets, and or neighbors. Weather you live in a house, condo or apartment or even an RV you may have a conducive situation for setting up a home studio, or just want to make room to set one up no matter how small it may be, but full sound volume just isn't in the cards for the reason(s) I just mentioned. So today we'll delve into a few options for deadening sound transmission from your home studio to allow you to be as loud as you want to be and yet not have your family or neighbors banging down your door :-)

You Can't Be Heard And That's GoodIt may be difficult to completely stop the transmission of sound out of your home studio but there is a lot you can do to mitigate it and make it comfortable enough for your household and neighbors alike. Songwriting And Recording Between The Sheets One of the most affordable and unique products out there are the Absorption Sheets from Audi-mute.com. Their fabric sheets boast of an impressive .70 NRC sound absorption rating which is a bit better than 2/3rds up the scale to a reading of 1 that would be full sound absorption. The sheets come in different sizes and are easily hung with their handy clamp system or you can drape or stack them as you wish. Use them to flesh out your closet studio or do an entire garage. Check them out here. Songwriting And Recording Alone Or With A Panel? Okay that heading was bit twisted but the point is that you may prefer something more hefty to stand up and hold up to your loud drumming - like a fabric covered panel. There is a company with just such products that have various height sound absorption panels among other related panel materials to absorb sound - DrumPerfect.com. Don't let the name fool you, they're not just about helping out drummers. They have products to help all home and small studio musicians and artists. Their absorption panels can be viewed here - and they even have a very competitively priced vocal recording booth shown here. Remember though, that unlike the light weight of the sheets noted above, purchasing heavier sound barrier items that are going to be shipped are going to incur considerably more in shipping costs. A good thing to keep in mind when shopping for sound control items. Songwriting And Recording On Air A really cool product that has yet to come to market is an inflatable vocal recording booth. This could be ideal for the home recording songwriter as it appears to be well constructed for sound control and would be relatively easy to set up and take down - important if you've got a small space. No one from this company has ever responded to my inquiries so I don't really know what they're up to but their product looks like something pretty nice and I'd love to try it out. Check out the InflataBooth here. Here's to quietly making a lot of noise - see you next issue. |
