Design a blueprint for the actual recording booth. Take into consideration what variety of people will need to be in the booth. You will need room for a microphone box that encases your microphone and stand and a space beneath it for a laptop or other recording device.
Select the material for your recording booth. Depending on how durable it needs to be and the wear and tear to which you plan on subjecting it, booths can be made from wood or even cardboard. Construct the booth according to your design. If you choose wood, you will need a saw, hammer and nails and if you choose cardboard you will need scissors and glue or strong tape.
Layer the entire booth with soundproof foam except for the area where your microphone and laptop will go.
Find deep foam cushion to encase your microphone. Cut the cushion inside out in a rectangular shape. Make the rectangle taller than it is wide to make the set-up compact.
Build or find a box that can house your microphone and stand. You can build a box by measuring the inside of the rectangular foam and sawing up wood according to those measurements, and then gluing or nailing the pieces together. Make sure to drill a small enough hole in the back that will be just big enough for the microphone chord.
Line the inside of the box with studio foam, leaving the bottom of the area exposed.
Place the microphone on a microphone stand snugly in the box. Trail the microphone cord out the hole in the back and position the mic in the front of the box so that you can sing directly into it.
Install a windscreen in front of the microphone box.
Connect the mic to a laptop and place it beneath the box. Depending on how protective you are of your laptop, you may want to build something to hold the laptop in place like you built with the microphone box.
Download and install a humm eliminator or de-noising software to run with your music software. This is to remove excess noise from behind the performer when recording.
