If you can leave some dead air space between the absorber and the hard wall, even better (in other words, hang the blankets six inches away from the wall instead of right against it). Acoustically absorbent materials like blankets, cushions, stuffed furniture (and professional sound absorbing panels) all help reduce room reverberation. Bookcases full of different sized books help reduce slap echoes and smooth out the room reverberation. If you have a bit of budget but don't want to spend too much or permanently alter the room, look into theatrical curtains. Just hanging heavy blankets around the recording area will help a lot. The difference is night and day.įortunately you don't have to spend a fortune to get a room sounding good enough for a podcast. You don't realize just how reverberant a typical bedroom or living room is compared to an acoustically treated studio until you compare the same equipment on the same source in both. A microphone picks up whatever sound is present, and doesn't differentiate between the sound you want it to record and what you wish it wouldn't. The most obvious of these factors is room reflections (followed closely by poor mic technique). Listeners may not be able to articulate what exactly they're hearing, but not being able to put a name to the problem doesn't prevent them from hearing it. There a few factors that cue a listener that a recording is an amateur project and not high-quality professional. That will make more difference than using the even the best microphone in the world.
