Hi all,
I'd like to start recording vocals and acoustics at home, so I no longer need to enter a studio (or not often). I don't have an available small space at home, so I will be sectioning off my living room (which isn't really used as a living room).
I will be using a corner of the room, and created accordion partitions from plywood. The partitions are 8' tall (to the ceiling) with three 2' wide pieces, connected by hinges. When I set both up in the corner, it creates a "booth" around 5'x5'x8'. I've attached a picture of the partitions. They're not displayed, but hopefully you'll get the idea.
I have a thick rug on the floor, but now I need to figure out sound diffusion. I'll need to treat the partitions, 2 walls and ceiling. What do you recommend to do this? Should I get foam panels? If so, diffusion? deflection? combination? moving blankets? both? something else? a combination? I suppose I'm worried about getting something that doesn't work good enough in the end, and be out some money.
I'd love some guidance if you have time.
All the best,
Steve
