Using Area Rugs To Absorb Reflections and Minimize Reverb

Sounding like you’re in a gymnasium or a long hallway NEVER sounds good on a podcast.

If you’re recording in a room with hardwood floors, an area rug or two can help absorb some of the reflections and reverb. The size and quality of the rug will determine how much sound it will absorb. Typically, the thicker and shaggier rugs will absorb more sound.
