Nothing wrong with that.  That's what I do here, but I'm mostly recording 
myself, or some of the horn players I use on my stuff.  If you are getting a 
lot of room sound though, you may want to consider deadening down the space.  
That's what I had to do here.

  For me, I'll have to turn off the moniters, then record the person, or me.
  Then turn them back on, wich I don't think is bad, ay?
  This will all be done in my room where my setup will be
  Thoughts?

    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
