I can't help but wonder. What would my bedroom have sounded like completely empty? No furniture or anything.
The room has wall to wall carpet. Growing up it was hardwood with a few scatter rugs and that's what I played in until '79. 9 or 10 years later, new carpet. That was my 'music room' until my brother moved out and i took the unused 'office' and moved all my stuff in there. I'm about to tear the all the carpet in the house out to restore it to the hardwood floors underneath.

Speaking of carpet, does it have any value as sound treatment, if made into rolls, cut into panels, tack to a frame? I'll have lots I can use and I happen to have a wood source. nothing fancy. If I don't use any of it, then it'll just go to the dump.
What I'd like to do is record a few tracks in the empty room with the carpet still on the floor. Remove the music gear, tear the carpet out and record again. I suspect the room will be very sharp and pingy when it is empty and the floor naked.
