Hi all
I'm an amateur singer/songwriter. I have no intention of producing anything professionally, and I can't afford to invest in professional equipment to kit out my home studio. Currently I've created an area for recording vocals by hanging a curtain floor to ceiling across a corner of my studio. The curtain is lined with foam wadding and does a nice job of absorbing sound and deadening the reverberation in the booth area. I would like to add acoustic treatment to the walls and ceiling of this area to prevent as much sound reflection as possible. As I said I cannot afford to invest in professional-level materials. I have found on Amazon the following foam tiles, and I'm wondering if they would do the job:

They have good reviews, but I would like to hear opinions from people who have used them in building a home studio setup. Also, should the tiles go all the way from floor to ceiling, or do they only need to be at the level of the microphone?
I have attached some photos of my studio to give an idea of the space and layout currently.
Thanks in advance!
Edit - no idea why the photos are upside down... they weren't that way before I uploaded them!
