How to make a vocal booth at home (5 min to set up) 

A low budget solution for beginner artists is a closet with clothes in it!! Not only is it considered free (given you already own a closet and some clothes), but it doesnt take extra storage. Hang blankets or curtains over any doors/opened space (maybe you dont have a door and have an archway instead for example), and if the floor isnt carpet, cover that with blankets too! It may sound crazy, but it gives the same affect when theres a budget. Unfortunately, a big issue with this setup is vocalists cant always stand up when singing due to shelving or general closet layout. If its too constricting, it can always be the temporary solution until you can upgraded. Other than that, hope this helps!! 😁

FYI everyone, this set up is about $3,000 to $4,000 🥵

Closet + blanket = the best isolation

Even a thin blanket over the top will do wonders, brilliant touch. If you can swing it, a second wall behind you, 3-4 inches of thickness is MAGIC, especially with mixing. Cool thing with that is you can move the wall behind you as far back as you need to control the "openess" of your sound, I personally start with the dampening 4ft behind me and move it back if it comes through boxing, bassy, etc. Sometimes purely tight clean takes aren't what the track needs. This wall is far better than gimmicky vocal shields.

Great microphone, but those panels, or some kind of room treatment, is the real secret here. You could pair those panels (and another, suspended from the ceiling to allow for taller people under it) and a $150 Audio Technica AT2035 and it would sound incredibly professional. That mic you have is a lot of people’s “dream microphone.” Show some details of the panels you are using for everybody. Great setup.

I normally just go in the shed since it’s compacted inside with tools and things to block out the surrounding

Bro, what a genius idea on the sound barrier!

I use the 102 and it's amazing. Great video. 8)))

best solution ever bravo !

Thank you for sharing these helpful tips. Great idea to do. This provides good sound quality and is cost effective . 💖🌟👏🏼💖🌟👏🏼💖🌟👏🏼

That’s my favorite mic 🔥🔥

This kinda reminds me a kids fortress dream. Really great idea if your in a budget

quick and easy, cool !

Glad to see someone not using those silly shrouds. Anyone using a dynamic and/or cardioid mic is spending a lot more than those help the recording quality

I use the same method. Usually cover the top with a sound blanket

Beautiful Shorty.

I live in turkey. This microphone's prize is more than my monthly salary. I m a family doctor (sorry for my bad English)

I just use my closet haha

I’m glad I came across this❤ I wanna invest into something like that for my setup for my apartment

you are amazing , wish you best of luck :)

Honestly those walls make a huge difference alone

Excelente idea!!!

Hey looks kind of cozy! ☺️

Wow, that’s impressive

That’s a good setup. I personally just go with the Kaotica eyeball. The only rooms in my house with carpet are bedrooms, and I don’t think my wife would appreciate me setting up a portable booth in our room😂

J'adore c'est très créatif 🥰🥰

Lemme come over

looooool ty i needed hot box ideas

Just super 💯 very nice and interesting I am also thinking to buy one like this

Thanks for making us laugh😂😂😂😂.. It's very cute idea

I’m buying one now thanks ☺️

i have a similar setup aside from the walls. I use a reflection filter pro.

Thats good idea. I will try.

Resourceful 👌

Clearsonic 🎯👏🏽

Thanks ❤

sounds impressive

Ncoooo I love you

Ugh yes

The floor is still going to make it into your recording when doing that, also the walls are way to close to both you and your mic, you still have the reflections, they just happen faster.

Not me waiting for her to close the door for some reason😂💀💀

You Fine 🥳🥳

Wow nice

Those partitions look like just the thing I'm looking for. That and an Isovox might be the way to go.

Thanks!

Bonus points for using FL studio😂

Thank you for your idea, i have made some vocal booths but were strugling finding the way to make them stand (should i buy tropid for each 4 of them? i thought) my are 4 units 1 mt tall for 50 cm, since the top of them must be at 2 mt i think the best option is to make them some foot and they will be portable as yours .

Hej Tak for the tips Beautiful ;-)

Thanks a lot for this. Ordered those panels after seeing your video. Really great solution I’m not so good with DIY this looks perfect. How was the recording quality before va after ?

FYI! you can use a blanket Travis scott even uses this method

Nice

What’s that foldable wall that you used to build a cubicle called? I’d like to buy one.

Genius

i purchased a e-mart backup stand $30 + hung blankets :-) little less expensive

Awesome! love your set up and content. i honestly feel this is a great investment and any kind of investment is great when its related to your dream or career. love it. cheers!

i love the idea....but i am 182 cm high und i wonder if it soundproofening as well? so my neighbours can relax more. cheers ruediger

Do you have a link anywhere to these specific panels?

Assembling the same right now. Do you not care about floor though? Try throwing a carpet or some sort of bass trap like wooden pellets, it does make a difference. Otherwise, thanks for this video 👌

muy bueno :)

I prefer to mix out in post. I cannot stand the feeling of being closed in like that. Even in some pro studios. I like the live sound approach that people used in the 50s

I just wanted to say you're beautiful and I am now one man less a heart because you've stolen it my dear blessings and regards from CA.

Wow great idea! What’s the name of the acoustic panel?

Dats kool 💯

Yes girl 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Damn the 103? Pops hooked it up

Dónde puedo comprar esos paneles acústicos?

I did something close to this with my door in the room I pull them back and cover the top with blanks❤

Can you do a live video showing how effective this is at soundproofing? Can you share the name of the product you bought from Thomann?

I can't stop noticing how healthy your awesome hair looks. lol

dope

This is a little harder for those of us who are tall, though I guess you can mount it all on some Ikea boxes etc.

We actually have a lot of of the same equipment as far as the KRKs the Mac but I have a MPC and a MPK keyboard but honestly, none of that matters when it comes to making music, because there are so many great keyboards and equipment out there, the only thing that really matters is your portable booth and one of my microphones is the TLM 103 and I have a couple more but I wanna know how much did it cost you to make the booth. I use mogami gold chords for everything but I love your portable booth and would love to know the price minus the microphone and everything else because I have everything else😊

OMG she's so cute

Hope I'm right Christine's the name is it? If you want a sound booth it should be at least 250mm from the floor or you could set the hight gradually to see the re

I bought a 10ft room divider and moving blankets and a knock off kaotic eyeball

Fine wine 🍷

Damn, I just glued some acoustic foams on my room's corner wall, mounted my mic there and called it a day😂.

​ @christine_bulow Hey Christine, great video and setup :) Im looking at getting these, but i am 6 ft tall so would be peering over the top. Any idea how i could raise this up while still being able to stand within them for recording? I think someone mentioned tripods, but not sure what sort of tripods they mean / would work? really appreciate any help! Andy

nice, sound before and after would be interesting, better put the both on the carpet, best wishes from Berlin

Good ❤❤❤

Can you specify the actual walls on thomann’s website? There are so many. Please and thank you.

Great idea... If you have the space. Plenty others barely have the room for a mic stand, nevermind the tiny home you call a vocal booth

That is a really nice set up no lie! But quick question, do you mix and master vocals just for yourself or do you also do it for others?

Link for the vocal booth?

OMG this video just showed up for me as a suggestion on RU-vid and honestly? I've got no idea why I haven't found like this before, I've been searching and searching at the point of considering buying a damn portable changing room to cover with blankets hahaha! Amazing vid btw, thanks so much for sharing it. You just earned a new subscriber!

Clearsonic sorber is 1670mm high so you must be smaller than 1,60cm right? 😊

How well do those walls work, in terms of sound dampening, compared to a closet full of clothes, blankets, and foam?

No, just use software in 2024. OBS is free and it cuts out all room noise. That Neumann mic is still bringing in every noise for 2 houses down the road with that set up.

So did you need to buy 2 of these jointed wall panels? I see one goes for $205 but am guessing you had to spend twice in order to make the booth? Thanks!

ur stunning has to be said

hey, does it actually work if u don't have any other acoustic treatments such as panels or foams in ur room? gotta make this but dont want to waste my money (prolly 1/2 of the month salary in my currency :D)

Great set up, do you have a link to the materials?

How can you record vocals and use your daw at the same time? 😮

How many of those accoustic panels did you buy?

Te recomiendo dejar respirar las frecuencias de un costado, para aprovechar más la naturalidad de tu voz

Which walls did you choose, were they from the drum shields?

cost of the sound deafening panels alone ? fyi, we can hear your key clicks in post production. Just a heads up.

Who can suggest where to get the fabric and which one?

Hii I only want to know exactly which of the vocal booth is it ?☺️

Where do I find those dividing walls
