Do mic isolation shields work?

Re: Do mic isolation shields work?

Thanks for your input. I did add very thick curtains. The overall sound is OK; it's just this issue from my workstation that I;m trying to resolve.

Other than that, +1 to the letter to what you said about the application before. There's great insight.

ISO panels are all about reducing mic bleed and other unwanted aural attributes. Depending on material and placement they can be a decisive force / improvement in your recordings.

If your room has hard material walls the sound will bounce a lot and it will be present in all the mics, too. You can reduce this by adding soft materials to the walls that absorb waves. Don't need to buy arbitary stuff. Maybe a simple thick curtain on 2 out of 4 walls that you can pull when you don't record can bring a drastical improvement, without investing an ample of money.
Bookshelves = best bang for the buck diffusion you can get for your room; and it makes you smarter lol. :)

I have found that the floor and ceiling are MAJOR offenders when it comes to reflective nasties; moving blanket on the floor is all that is needed to remove that reflection and you can roll it up when you are done.

Sure thing! Using the environment, thinking, experimenting. This is much more important than anything.
