==Isolation booth==
An isolation booth is either a partially enclosed area in the live room{{efn|Partitions can be set up in a variety of ways, whether to achieve complete or partial separation.  Isolation booths set up with partitions are usually temporary and can be taken apart, then used other ways for different sessions.}}{{cn|reason=temporarily enclosed spaces are definitely used for isolation but we need a ref that indicates these are also called ''isolation booths''|date=June 2023}} or a completely separate small room built adjacent to the live room that is both soundproofed to keep out external sounds and keep in the internal sounds.  Like all the other recording rooms in sound industry, isolation booths designed for having a lesser amount of diffused reflections from walls to make a good-sounding room. A drummer, vocalist, or guitar speaker cabinet, along with microphones, is acoustically isolated in the isolation booth. A typical professional recording studio today has a ''control room'', a large ''live room'', and one or more small ''isolation booths''.

All rooms are soundproofed by varying methods, including but not limited to, double-layer 5/8" sheetrock with the seams offset from layer to layer on both sides of the wall that is filled with foam, batten insulation, a double wall, which is an insulated wall built next to another insulated wall with an air gap in-between, by adding foam to the interior walls and corners, and by using two panes of thick glass with an air gap between them. The surface densities of common building materials determines the transmission loss of various frequencies through materials.<ref>{{cite book |title=Modern Recording Techniques |author=Huber, David Miles |isbn=9780240806259 |url=https://archive.org/details/modernrecordingt01hube/page/74/mode/2up|page=75 |date=2005 |publisher=Elsevier Inc. |url-access=registration }}</ref>

Thomas A. Watson invented, but did not patent, the soundproof booth for use in demonstrating the telephone with Alexander Graham Bell in 1877.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Birth and Babyhood of the Telephone |author=Watson, T.A. |isbn=9781465616609 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FZQrDwAAQBAJ |date=2017 |publisher=Library of Alexandria}}</ref> There are variations of the same concept, including a portable standalone isolation booth and a guitar speaker isolation cabinet. A [[gobo panel]] achieves the same effect to a much more moderate extent; for example, a drum kit that is too loud in the live room or on stage can have [[acrylic glass]] see-through gobo panels placed around it to deflect the sound and keep it from [[Spill (audio)|bleeding]] into the other microphones, allowing better independent control of each instrument channel at the [[mixing console]].

In animation, vocal performances are normally recorded in individual sessions, and the actors have to imagine (with the help of the director or a reader) they are involved in dialogue.<ref name="Hayes_Page_176">{{cite book |last1=Hayes |first1=Derek |last2=Webster |first2=Chris |title=Acting and Performance for Animation |date=2013 |publisher=Focal Press |location=New York and London |isbn=9781136135989 |page=176 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4z0qBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA176}}</ref>    Animated films often evolve rapidly during both development and production, so keeping vocal tracks from bleeding into each other is essential to preserving the ability to fine-tune lines up to the last minute. Sometimes, if the rapport between the lead actors is strong enough and the animation studio can afford it, the producers may use a recording studio configured with multiple isolation booths in which the actors can see each another and the director. This enables the actors to react to one another in real time as if they were on a regular stage or film set.
