So for a while I had trouble being able to reduce the background noise that my mic picked up until I saw someone on the internet had used a cardboard box lined with soundproofing foam so I thought hey! I should do that too and voila -
So yeah I have definately noticed an improvement to the quality of my recordings which should bode well for the voice work I'm currently involved in.
If you're like me and don't really have the space to start soundproofing and building up cushioning to deflect echoes and whatnot then this might just be the solution and it all cost less than £10 to make!

Damn hell yeah that's killer! Just curious what kind of mic are you using?

Thanks for saying bud! The mic I use is a Behringer C-1 although looking at the prices they are now they seem to have gone up because I only remember paying about £30 for mine. They might have a newer model perhaps. I also put a little mic afro on top for good measure.
