My Mini Recording Booth ...

OK .........

Ive got a large (and i mean biiiig) cubord that i have fixed a studio mic in for sound insulation whilst recording vocals. The only problem is it has a SMALL echo.
Will this effect my recording ?
What are the best conditions for recording vocals ?

this might actually be an advantage for you. The natural echo could give you a nice "prescence" to your vocals.

But if you don't like it, then you can just line the room with carpeting, or cardboard, or hang some cloth on the walls. Anything to absorb the sound.

here's a great article that I think captures the essence of mic placement and choice when recording vocals. It also inspires experimentation (not that kind perverts).

ultimately what you'll end up with is a subtle "room" verb that you'd probably end up trying to add in the mix later with one of many available VST plug-ins or outboard DSP processors. This way it happens naturally (and cheaper). Try it... let your ears be the judge.

let us know what happens, I'm sure others could find your experience useful.
