FELT RIGHT SOLUTIONS:

PODCASTING & Video Recording

Any professional or semi-pro recording environment should be exceptionally quiet (40 dBA or less, ideally 20-30 dBA) and the room should typically never show up in recordings. Achieving this often requires lowering background noise, treating room reflections and reverberation, and controlling sound leakage from adjacent spaces. Felt Right acoustic tiles can be an effective part of the solution especially when it comes to vocal reflections. While we encourage audio enthusiasts to take a deep dive, here’s advice on what to tackle first for the greatest sound benefit.
Acoustic considerations
Performance
Reduce Room Echo when using Mic
Concentration
Microphone pickup patterns
Focus
Desks, tables, and computer monitors add additional reflection points

Surface Area
ADD ABSORPTION (A LOT)
Seal non-critical openings between noisy and quiet spaces. Use heavy draft stoppers for gaps under interior doors, add soft neoprene gaskets to door jambs and windows, use acoustic sealant for floor/ceiling cracks.
Where do I place
KNOW YOUR MICROPHONE PATTERNS
Covering a wall with a vibration-damping layer such as Felt Right tiles can reduce sound transfer through the wall by converting sound vibrations into movement of the tiles.
Stop Adjacent Sound
EXPERIMENT WITH MICROPHONE PLACEMENT
Face cardioid mics toward a room’s center where sound reflections are farther away, or toward heavily-treated areas of absorption (eg: soft couch with pillows surrounded by acoustic absorbers covering walls, ceiling, floor, etc). Move omnidirectional mics away from hard surfaces if possible, treat with absorption all around otherwise, and/or turn down the mic gain and move the voice talent closer.
Stop Adjacent Sound
REARRANGE YOUR WORKSPACE
For a table top mic, reduce reflections by moving it to the edge of the table (capture side facing outward) or create a nest under the mic out of a thick blanket or coat. Angle untreatable hard surfaces (desks, computer screens) away from your microphone by placing a mirror on them and moving them so you cannot see the mic reflection in the mirror from the voice talent’s position.
Stop Adjacent Sound
REDUCE BACKGROUND NOISE
If background sound levels are high due to sound leakage from other rooms, visit the Noise from Adjacent Spaces page. For noise sources in the room, adding absorption will help somewhat, but you should make every effort to move noise sources away from your recording area (or vice versa) or outside of the room entirely.
PLACEMENT FOR YOUR SPACE
When adding absorbers such as Felt Right acoustic tiles, consider these placement options.

“Backdrop and recording nook I love the felt tiles. Easy to apply and looks great. I bought for my office as a zoom backdrop as well as a little recording nook.”
