Thought about buying one at one stage but room(space) was an issue for me as I would have had to located it in the live room and needed the space. They are pricey.

I like that amp enclosure

They're useful if you're recording professional narration. And you've got alot on noise going on in the background. but if you're recording music, in a quite dampened area you don't really need them.

The way mic's pick up unwanted noise is funny. Dolphin music sell these small booths that just stand on a stand with an enclosure that wraps around your head and the mic ... if you're doing vocal.

Background noise sometimes adds alot to a recording....

Mic's are just very funny in the way they pick up noise.

Ususally the worst noise they pick up, is that absolutely horrible constant tone wir of a computer in the background. It's destroys recordings.

You mean the SE Reflexion filter, right? Great for VO work alright:

They're heavy though!

I never use the vocal booth for singers. In my opinion 99% of the time, one needs to be in the same room as the singer, facing them. Always gets a better performance, more emotion. Getting rid of fan noise from computers is easy. Vocal booths are good for sticking loud amps into, sometimes.

That's a very interesting point , I spoke to a Spanish dealer in Barcelona recently, where a lot of of the English/Spanish redubbing is done and he said that was his primary market.

Haha!

I'll leave y'all on that note then - My booth with the pillow is calling me through the monitor system.
