"Portable vocal booth"

It doesn't seem like you could truely isolate unless you get a soundproof room. This probably wouldn't stop the L train noise in my room

I actually just got one of these. I like it because my room sounds terrible for vocals and I like using omni patterns.

How much did it cost and where did you get it? Does it seem to Isolate or does it just make it sound better?

You have a Reflexion Filter or one of the booths I was talking about? (The kind that rolls down stairs.)

I got the reflexion filter. It was a dealfrom a guy who moved out to portland and was getting rid of gear. He let me try it and then I bought the whole thing for $150. I've used it twice with the Nuemann TLM-103. I didn't really notice much of a difference while tracking but I found myself using less eq in the mix. So, I like it. However it is like $300 bucks retail. That I don't like.

Nothing less than a vocal booth can tame regular room noises such as :birds, pets, the fridge, HVAC, outside traffic, computers the list goes on. The reflextion filter works for taming down refections and that is it. For $500 you could build your own booth. I got pretty sick of my dog barking his little ass off and the UPS guy driving by and RRRRRRRRRRRR there goes my perfect acoustic take with vocals Arrg!!!!!!

As far as pre-made vocal booths they are premo mucho $$$$$ and it did not fit my budget.

I would take a look at some D.I.Y. vocal booth plans. I built my own booth, then I found these plans http://www.dawbox.com/DAWBOOTH.htm and built a better one for like $400 and the guy who sells these plans was awsome to deal with & had tons of experience in acoustics. Nothing beats isolation unless you have about $2000 to sheetblock an entire room and treat it with bass traps, owens 703 or acoustic foam.

I bought a vocal booth and stand from this site called editorskeys.com, have been using it constantly since and its actually amazing, I get perfect audio recordings everytime! Saves me money and time going back and forth to studios.

Also just bought a pop filter from them too, pretty cheap and work really well with the booth.

Definitely give them a go.

Hey that looks like competition for that SE Electronics reflection filter and at about $50 cheaper.

…hmm
