So I paid for the upgraded account on Tindeck, but my account still hasn't been upgraded and I haven't gotten a response from the site admins. Anybody else have this problem?

Hi Tim,

My Tindeck upgrade/activation email did come fairly quickly. You might want to check your email SPAM filter settings.
My email provider was filtering deliveries my pop3 account, so I had to login to my provider's system to tweek the settings.

I also finally got a decent mic (The Yeti)and the stuff for making a porta-booth should be hearing within the week.

Hey Zratha,

I too am using a Yeti with a home-made porta-booth, but had problems finding a suitable container/cube with enough headroom for the statuesque 11" Yeti. Most of the porta-booth examples that I could see online had only 12" interiors, and seemed designed for smaller mics. They left hardly any overhead room for adequate sound-insulation material. I finally bought a cheap folding (seat and storage) ottoman that had an all-round 14" interior. I put in a strip of 3" egg-carton acoustic foam on the back and sides and a 2" foam section in the top, so there's just enough room to squeeze in the Yeti. To further isolate, the whole cube is sitting on top of another slab of 3" egg-carton foam.

It seems to be working well. If you have a chance, let us know if you have any comments/tips on crafting a porta-booth for a Yeti.

Cheers, Dudley
