I'll take a picture of what I tend to do, tonight. Since my room is trapezoidal, I place the talent sort of centered and then turn them slightly so that none of the reflection surfaces are perpendicular to the singer's mouth, so no direct reflections. I'll put my gobos about halfway to the walls so that there is some deadening but allowing all non-straightline reflections to happen. that way I get some ambiance but no slapback reflections, which in small rooms will only cause comb filtering. Great info! My room is trapazoidal ( had to look it up!!) as well. Have some vocals coming up so I'll try this new position in the room. EDIT: You know what, it's what I've been doing all along. Everything sounds good in this one spot and it's exactly as you've described. Off center and turned! Crazy shit! |

So whats the general feeling on using these se They work great. I use one sometimes. Not always though. It REALLY deadens the sound. Sometimes too much for my taste. |

So whats the general feeling on using these se Every time I stick my face in one of those and say "testing 123", I hear bad things, the u shape acts like a parabolic dish and reflects everything "boxy" coming from u back into ur ears, maybe the mic wouldn't hear it? But it sounds so bad to my ears in real time, I'd never even consider it for use. Of course, JME |

"Acoustic foam" isn't really any good for sound control and tends to reflect mids and lows due to the low porosity of it's surface. |

I just didn't really understand using it with a cardioid mic...I would think having the absorption behind you would make more sense.
