This is a rough picture of our studio setup (needs work in layout but this is all we can afford at the moment)

The problem which you can see in the next image is that behind the set up is an open area. We record on the second floor on a loft:

I currently reside in Florida, USA. I would like to find a cost effective way to add a temporary/removable but effective (sound proofed) wall between the computer area and the next wall, kind of like a box. I'm not sure if this is at all or even possible but frankly I dont see any other alternative, unless someone has another suggestion? We dont want to get rid of the loft entirely (entertain company). I saw a few suggestions of hanging some heavy fabrics or something?

Last thing is that we do our vocal recordings in a bedroom that has zero treatment. The sound sounds preaty good and dry, but occasionaly on louder tones, you can here a bit of abianic reverb. Any suggestions?

Here is a floor plan of the second floor of the house:

I guess the main question is, How do I sound proof my loft
 
Hey

Hey these actually look interesting. I know room acoustics take up about 20% of importance, but will these still alow for a supurb sound even though the area wont be entirly sound proof?

20%??? Dude, a treated studio has 50% of acoustic materials all around the headroom. So how can room acoustics only take up 20%?

I don't have any first-hand experience with these products so I can't vouch for them. All I can say is that if I were in your position, they'd be among the first solutions I'd try. Contact Auralex and ask about their return policy, just in case: http://www.auralex.com/contact.

Another thing to consider is to construct DIY panels that are similar to these Auralex products. You'll almost certainly get more bang for your buck, and you'll be able to tailor them to your exact needs.
