| Later today (I'm told), lynda.com will be publishing a two-hour video course I did on the new features. As there's no software you can have yet, there's obviously no project files yet; that will change when the software is shipping. I'll include a free pass code for lynda.com once I know the course is live.

Wow, it's like I get to learn an entirely new version of After
Effects. Do you know if Adobe will provide video clips in which to
test these new features when they arrive? Or have I missed something
that pointed me to assets to test even the current features with?
Sorry if this comes off as a bit of babbling, it's pre-coffee
excitement :)

In addition to a
mic's off-axis rejection, I can't put enough emphasis on
the usefulness of a good "voice channel" mic preamp that,
among other things, has a downward expander/noise gate to
kill sound in between sentences. It takes a little bit of
fiddling to set up, to make sure it's not truncating
trailing-off words or bouncing along on the noise floor,
but otherwise I consider it a secret weapon.
But back to the original request: Are you looking at
a portable sound booth because the environment is just
too noisy? Or do you merely need to tame a not-too-bad
environment, which can be done by moving equipment on
the other sides of walls or putting them in enclosures,
a few sound deadening panels to knock down the
liveliness of a room, and maybe a mic screen like the
Mud Guard to cut down further on off-axis noise and
reflections?

What are your VO needs, and in what kind of
environment will you be recording? You might not
need anything any more complicated than something
like this:

There are several versions of this concept
available.
And there are also several microphones that record
voice very well, and reject off-axis sounds, so
that you don't need a perfect environment to
record in. Shure SM7 and an Electro Voice RE20
are de facto standards in radio stations
throughout the world in rooms with computer
monitors and less than perfect acoustics. They're
also dynamic mics, which mean they don't need
phantom power, and are less prone to plosive
overloads.
