The Room

The room in which you record your vocals and hear your sound from the monitors is an important factor in how your recording will ultimately sound to your consumers and the public outside world. A thick carpet can deaden sound, wooden floors can send off an echo of the sound. Even the amount of wallpaper and furniture will effect the sound. The bigger the room the better, too small of a room and you will become buried in the sound and it may have too little reverb to sound realistic. If walls are fabricated then add wooded floors, if un-fabricated then add carpet for absorption. The more square and equal the room, the more it will echo, so find a room that is uneven with jagged corners, not parallel directly to each other. Try to have a room that will not effect neighbors, families and roommates. Basement-type concrete rooms need a double dose of carpeting and insulation from extreme cold. Muggy hot attics need ventilation, having your equipment in degrees over 100 can actually melt and damage your equipment. All tiled bathroom-type room have far too much echo and are generally beyond repair. Make sure outside noise and traffic cannot be heard as your audio quality will suffer from repeated editing of those sounds, plus it just is not professional ("Timmy, dinners ready!" right after a hard hook is not whassup)
