Comments –
Two extra pillows, an array of blankets, towels and matresses were put up to absorb the sound of the room (which had a slightly ‘boxy’ sound to it). All windows and doors were shut and fans were turned off (resulting in sweltering heat).
Resulting sound was decent – although vocal had too much accuracy and detail to it. Would have been better with a vocal / large diaphragm microphone.
