For the last few years, I've been recording in a room full of foam and blankets. The results were good, but not great.   I wanted something better, so I just installed some new panels based on a DIY panel design by Marcus dePaula.   This episode is the first I recorded with the new setup. It's a conversation with Marcus about how you can sound your best with the space you have, regardless of whether you record in a spare bedroom, a closet, or a temporary location.
Topics:

• "Room within a room"
• Recording with a monitor – what you need to know
• Setting up a portable studio that sounds great
• Recording in your house? This is the best place to do it...
• Why books are a great thing to have in your studio
• Packing blankets
• Bedroom vs. Closet
• What you need to know about ceiling panels (clouds)
• Studio Comfort vs. Function
• What is good enough?
