Question 1

can someone stand in it and close it into a circle and record?

Accepted Answer

No, check out Snap Studio if you want to stand in it and record like you're in a booth.

Question 2

Will it make my vocals sound inside the beat like professional rappers

Accepted Answer

Aside from performance quality, you really need a halfway decent microphone (NO USB MICS!), a decent preamp, and learn to know what you're doing a bit by reading and practicing. Learning it yourself really is the best way. Start with the best mic-preamp combo you can afford, and upgrade as you can afford. Places like Guitar Center often let you listen to their different mics and preamps so you can get a feel for what works best for your (or the performer's) voice. If you can afford ~$400 for a mic, the Shure SM7 is a great rap/hip hop mic that's used on a lot of big name musicians' songs, and is surprisingly affordable. You can also start with something cheaper, like a Shure SM58 (~$100). It's not the best mic for the money, but a good, dependable mic that's used by everyone and still sees a ton of use, even by those with the money for much better. It's predictable, and a good starting point. Depending on the style, you may be better off with a dynamic mic (like the ones I suggested) vs one of the cheaper Chinese condenser mics, especially if the singer is loud, but the most important thing is to try a bunch out to see what sounds best within your budget. Once you have a reasonable mic and preamp, then you should focus on mic placement and technique with tracking and mixing, learning how to use DAW plug-ins and such.

Question 3

Will the shield work with a rode nt1-a shock mount?

Accepted Answer

The Rode NT1-A microphone typically includes a Rode SM6 shock mount which features 5/8" threading.  This microphone isolation shield has a standard 3/8" microphone threaded mount but it does include a 3/8" to 5/8" thread adapter which will work with the SM6.

Question 4

Does it come with attachments/part to attach to the mic stand?

Accepted Answer

I found that getting a heavy duty microphone stand works sufficiently but always put the leg of the tripod toward the front direction.  Also, the clamps, although they work fine, have pads adhered to them which have come undone quickly likely due to the weight of the shield with a large condenser mic (and sometimes a pop screen).
