Thanks Hoss, I'll look into getting at least a zoom and a 1/2 decent mic and perhaps some wall treatment.
Was thinking of this stuff. Seems the same as the acoustic stuff, not as thick, but put the word music or studio in front of it and they think they have the right to charge 500% more.

Seems like a lot of work and money even to do that. I'll try the zoom first and see what happens.
