Brian,

I know they make such a thing which attaches to the wall, and folds out.  This 
can be helpful, when no one is using it, it almost folds flat against the wall. 
 

I can't remember who the maker is, the price was around $300.  I'll try to find 
out who it is if your interested.  As far as building one, you can just have 
someone frame one up.  Much like building a closet.  Use 2-6's, or at least 2 
by 4's, and cover them in laminated or "pressboard".  Though its not as good as 
solid would would be, its cheaper, and don't transmit sound like solid wood...  
Cover both the inside and outside with carpet and your done! 

The cheaper and more portable option is to build a 5 by 5 foot frame out of 
PBC, and use moving blankets or the like to attach to the frame. 

It all depends on if you need quiet, or if you are just trying to cut out room 
sound, and of coarse, how much money you want to spend. 

Either way, its not like you'll be able to crank up your monitors.  Unless you 
are putting the person far away from your setup, you will get some noise from 
your workstation and monitors.

          Hello folks,
  I am looking to do the whole small project studio thing in my home.  I have a 
small one-room studio that I use and i am looking to build a portable isolation 
booth.  For those of you who are doing this professionally as a business, give 
me some ideas as to what you are doing for isolation for recording vocals and 
such...  Thanks so much for your help,
  Brian
