Basement closet vocal booth

Decided to convert a "junk drawer" closet in the basement to a vocal booth for recording with my band. Seemed like a low risk venue for learning how to patch and paint drywall, install baseboard, and do some simple wiring stuff. The big acoustic panels and bass traps came from Acoustimac, and the slatted diffusion panels were just some cheap no-name self adhesive panels from Amazon. Not shown - soniguard insulation stuffed above the drop ceiling. Learned a lot in the process, and feel much more confident tackling other projects around the house now! As for the quality of the vocal recordings from the booth...turns out the problem is somewhere between the headphones and the microphone
