View Full Version : Isolating mic from other room sources

I have a small practice studio where I currently play trumpet with a vocalist and
a drummer.

The vocalist's microphone (SM58) picks up lots of sound from the drums which
causes us various problems.

What is the best way to get max isolation of the vocal mic? We have tried placing
the vocal mic at different locations and orientations within the room but still
can't get enough isolation. I know full isolation is impossible, but what are the
most effective ways to address this?

- Different mic? (something more directional?)
- Sound absorption materials up on the walls & ceilings? (what kind?)

Thanks for any advice given!
