How to Make a DIY Podcast Recording Booth
One the most important things to remember when aiming for high-quality audio is to make sure that your recording environment is controlled as much as possible.
Now, you could spend lots of money and time in building or converting an area of your house with soundproofing and acoustic treatments but there are plenty of cheaper and less time-consuming ways to record high-quality audio.
Here are just a few examples on how to create working podcast space for you at home.
Building a DIY Recording Box
If you do want something more permanent for when you record then spending less than £30 on some acoustic treatment that can be placed inside a cardboard box makes a great DIY recording booth.
- 12x12" Acoustic foam — £17.99
- Adhesive spray — £4.40
- Cardboard box — Free
Just glue the acoustic foam — cut to size — to the inside of a box that’s large enough to house your microphone and you’ll have your very own DIY recording box that’ll help you capture clean audio that really limits room reverb.
