Ok, This might be an interesting thread. While acoustic treatment in our studios is ultimately obtainable and relatively affordable we are not always in these environments for recording and sometimes mixing. In the past (and no doubt future) i and maybe all of us will be faced with a recording project outside of our laboratories. Sometimes, if not all times the sound environment is lacking in our taste and is certainly beyond our expenses for the job at hand. How do YOU deal with these scenarios?
I have done many recordings for work and for friends where i am faced with less than ideal rooms. People look at me kind of funny when i move things around to effect the sound, or drag a matress about a living room floor. Sometimes i stare wildly like im chasing a fly or maybe listening to a boy trapped down a well in my mind (im not autistic).
Im interested in seeing what other people do to create make shift mixing areas, echo chambers, Bass traps, reflectors...etc.
One i kind of like is Taking boom mic stands, extend to desired height, make boom part in "T" shape then hang think draps down stand. Could use clothes pegs or rope to secure curtains or blankets. Make a few of them and you got very cheap gobos, maybe a vox booth on the sly. Now obviously these aint gonna be as effective as say, a contruction made from 703 and fiberglass. However these only take a few minutes to set up and will help control reflections.
