Here's the scenario. Just as your voice over business starts to pick up or your podcast starts picking up subscribers, you've got to go out of town. You don't want to shut down your studio or stop podcasting. So what do you do?
Grab your best microphone and cable, portable recording device (we use a PreSonus Firebox), and laptop computer. Okay, now for the fun part. You're going to build a tent on the side of your bed farthest away from a window. Create a three-sided structure of pillows and cover them with the bedspread. You might want to top it off with a pillow on top for good measure. Be sure to turn off the air conditioner and unplug the mini refrigerator in the room. You're ready to record now with minimal (if any) reverberation from nearby walls and you've managed to reduce outside noise. Oh yeah, take a small flashlight along to see your script inside the tent. Now get down on your knees (and pray they don't start vacuuming in the hallway), pop your head inside your temporary sound booth, and start recording. Your customers will never know you left town.
The microphone tent works great at home, too. It's a fast and easy way to create a sound booth that dampens reverberation. It won't eliminate all noise, but it should help you sound like you're in an actual sound booth.
