Whisper Room - Voiceover and Sound Effects recording Booth - Evaluation and Set Up!

Website - http://www.aaronbrownsound.com

I finally did it. I bought one of the fabled Whisper Rooms!

So, how do I like it? Check it out :)

The first section is where I discuss the booth and show how well it isolates. The second section is a sped up video of most of the booth set up process.

The set up took about 6 hours including transporting it in my truck to my space.

My lovely girlfriend helped me load it up and I hired a professional furniture assembly guy on taskrabbit.

Once we got in a groove it installed quickly.

It reduces noise by about 30-33dB inside which is incredible for voice and prop recordings.

Last weekend I recorded a small sound library with Daniy Oberly and Emily Meo and the booth was perfect for it. It doesn't feel cramped, gives enough space to perform, and sounds very nice without corrective eq.

Of course, initially I wasn't happy with the sound. It was quite boxy and boomy.

The room modes around 80, 115, 138, 160, and 230-700 required lots of panels and treatment. After loading up on 4" bass traps in the corners, 3" panels and 2" panels for the low mids and high end, and acoustic blankets wrapped in the edges and corners it is way more neutral.
The sweet spot is around the center or just behind the center in the 1/3rd of the back.
I've now added custom bass traps which make it quite neutral inside.

Overall I'm a very happy customer. It does exactly what I needed. It is my room within a room and my Mosaic space can now handle any work I want to do.

Note some things sound a bit odd in the video, but only when the iPhone camera is wayyyyy up in the corners and edges to get me in the shot. In the middle section of the booth it is very neutral.

If you want to hear tests and recordings with the Slate microphones I'll put some together when I get the time :) Let me know.

Hit me up in the comments with any questions!
