Do Blankets Work as Vocal Booths? - Vocal Recording Tip

Hey audio friends! Check out my new album, produced in my home studio. It's not generic garbage, trust me. I think you'll like it: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/cthreep/karma-harm

Who saw Travis Doing this in the Netflix Documentary

Every soundcloud rapper better be taking notes rn

the blanket actually works!!!!:)

That ending was the best part! lol I'm going to try this soon, hope my nephews and nieces don't think im a singing ghost.

It does work. The only problem is that every time you move, the rustling sound gets picked up by the mic. Also, it gets way too hot and uncomfortable to do any recordings more than a few seconds long. The best way is to make a blanket fort/den. Also use thicker blankets that absorb more sound.

I cant believe you just saved me from spending thousands of dollars in insulation stuff. RESPECC

Hey. NYC home studio guy here. My awesome little setup is in a 350 square foot studio apartment and space is right. I'd heard people talk about using a quilt over the top of your head to deaden the sound and it just sounded so silly to me and I never tried it until I saw your video or should I say heard. I just set up for an acoustic guitar track and I used mic stands to support the quilt so it's not dangling on the strings or the microphone or my hands. The difference was stunning, it really really worked. You have to spend a little bit of time setting up the quilt so that you're not interfering with play or vocals. But otherwise it's very cool.

Creative, cheap great idea presented in an hillarious way!Awesome

This really helps out for my future project, thank you!

Thank you for this video! it was helpful mainly in making me feel less stupid about building a blanket fort under my bed for recording voice overs!

This is what I've been looking for. I've been thinking about should I getting acoustic treatment panels and what not (For voice recording). And then I saw this video and thought... I can do something like that. Thanks!

Yeah but it sounds amazingly professional with the blanket over your head! Bravo!

Wow, just that blanket makes such a dramatic difference. I’m very very impressed

Oh I’m definitely doing this!

You're teaching people how to make non lo fi home recordings, that's awesome

you could easily build a frame from wood or even just tent poles to hold the cover. could even staple a couple covers to the frame and then put wood panels over the top to make it look more like a normal booth

Nice vid bro! Short ane simple, I appreciate it

i've done this too or should i say tried it before. Good vid made me smile

Just make some frame to hold the blanket up for you if you want to use this more than one time It could be done really cheap and doesn't take much room if you construct it with poles/rods that are attachable for a frame and detachable for storing it
