    Not only soft covers can help. Place in the room means alot too. In center of the room mic will catch more reflections. If mic placed for example in the corner, mic shield will help to prevent reflections of the corner and in this case entire room's reflections will be reduced

      Because my live room is so large, mic placement really won’t do much. There is no getting away from that reverb!

    IMHO, I don't think they're supposed to be used like that. They're not meant to be a replacement for a booth. They basically do a high cut, somewhere between 400-800Hz, depending on the quality of the foam - which is very good for removing the higher frequency standing waves and echo in a booth. They also do a very good job shielding away high frequency noise, say like from a fan or smth.
    As for the SM7B, its def. not a very "focussed" microphone... For a dynamic mic, it's got a big membrane and picks up a LOT of room sound, compared to other dynamic mics - almost like other studio condenser mics.

    Your room divider would work better if it was behind the singer. When using cardioid mics, the sound goes from your mouth out into the room and then bounces off the side and especially rear wall and is reflected back into the front of the mic. Putting the treatment behind the singer prevents the reflections from bouncing off the rear wall and back into the mic. Even more effective if you put one of those reflexion filters in front of the singer as well.

      The final solution showed in the video is what I have been doing for years. It works great! And the vocal is not suffocated at all. Thanks for watching!

    The blanket won't address lower frequencies, so this technique isn't viable for recording vocalists who already have a heavy or thick voice. You can notice your voice sounds deeper in the 4th recording bc the lower frequency reflections are still coming through. Any tips for someone with a thick vocal resonance who can't afford to treat the whole room with rockwool?

    • @HomeRecordingNetwork

      The voice doesn’t have much going on in the lows. Use the technique in this video. Thanks!

    Easy fix…..I bought a plastic tool shed from LOWS and treated the interior walls and ceiling with yellow bed padding. This made for a pro vocal booth for my basement studio

      Interesting idea but...unless you are absorbing at least 90% of reflections, you will be getting a horrible boxy sound (especially in that small of a space).

      I’ve used them and been highly disappointed. Often enough it destroyed quality frequencies along with the verb. Reason 2 being, if it did work (very rarely) it was INCREDIBLY time consuming and caused a productivity problem.
