Eliminating Reverb

by **IskatuMesk** » Sat Feb 25, 2012 2:23 am

Are there any strategies I can employ to eliminate the natural reverb of my bat cave? It isn't really an issue on edited voice, but with the need to do many many many non-edited lines, the more I hear that slight reverb the more it pisses me off. I have no other places I can move the mic, really.

Currently, the desk is in a corner. Would somehow moving the mic to the center of the room be more beneficial? Or, is there cheap hardware I can acquire? I'm using a Bluemic Yeti.

Don't know if there are equivalents to your mic, though...

Oh boy. 87 euro means at least twenty thousand Canadaland funbucks. Looks like...

*shades*

This is going to be fun.

Steal it.

You can build your own similar device, I believe.

I am not particularly resourceful, but what kind of building are we talking about?

That still looks quite a lot more sophisticated then what I'll be able to scrounge up.

I guess cat hair will have to suffice.

@Laconius:
You can't buy this, it's self-build. (Not from me)

@IskatuMesk:
You can also try to use some quilts and build your own improved "recording chamber" around your microphone.
There are some people out there, who climb into a cupboard to make recordings. This method may sound strange, but it's an effective way to avoid reverb effects during an recording session. (Stereophony)

I tested my current experimental setup successfully.

My setup is to drape a blanket over myself, my mic, and my monitor.

I suspect I'll get some kind of brain damage from any fumes that emit from an LCD monitor real fast, but it's not like I'd notice the difference.

And it works!

^---while that is top-notch, I would also suggest this:

oh boy, $130? Let's not try to drive me balls-deep into debt

The idea has merit... I wonder if one of the boxes I have lying around would suffice. They are all full of dead hookers, though.

Ugh, you guys and your expensive tools. I'll see if I can scrounge up the old article I had about reverb.
