recording a rapper in my room, best way to keep the soundin?

i live in a city and on a street that isnt very quite, plus my mother doesnt want to hear what were doing so, what would be the best way to record in my room with out bugging my mother?? how much would it cost to atleast keep "some" of hte noise in

sounds like u need to move

dudes like 14. Honestly good luck trying to do that. I would just wait till she aint home.

oh sorry...yeah, thats your best bet, waiting until she aint there

if you got a closet pad it up with some studio foam top to bottom.

That too! If your recording at night everything is gona always seem louder so try to record during the day when there is more things going on. Next use head phones to record and then play back out ya speakers when needed to reference the recording. That's the best I can say.

Do a search for "soundproofing". There's been lots of good tips & links here on the subject. Just temporarily hanging things like quilts or thick blankets over your window & door can help block a bit of outside noise & also cut down on any sound reflection in the room.

Also do some research on microphone placement.

Let your mom know in advance you want to do this recording session because you'll need her & anyone else in your home to be quiet too. Maybe you can arrange for her to go out.

the best way is to wait until shes not home.

if you decide to go the closet route just know youre gonna be sweatin like you were in the hole at alcatraz.

if its convenient and if you have a basement i would do it down there. just hang some blankets up in a corner down there and get your spit on.

make sure the basement aint empty tho.

thanks for the tips, and binger, im bout to be 16


^ i cant go in the basement i dont live in a "house" its a 3 family, the closet would be the best bet i guess for me
