My buddy Vic swore by recording vocals in a closet with blankets. I laughed until I tried it.

Back in 2019, Vic told me to just hang moving blankets in my hallway closet and record there instead of spending $400 on a booth. I thought he was nuts. Fast forward to last month, I finally did it for a demo track. The vocals came out cleaner than anything I got from my untreated spare room. Is there a point where too much blanket dampening actually hurts the sound, or should I just keep piling them on?

It's all fun and games until the blankets start singing backup.

Honestly, no backup singers is what makes a good blanket.
