Okay, got moved into a new rental house and have a room which can now be devoted strictly for recording. Yeehaw!
The room is 16'x14' with a 9' ceiling. The walls are finished drywall, the floor is mexican terra cotta tile and ceiling has blown-on acoustic.
The record/mix position is within this room.
This studio if for strictly acoustic music, no drums or amps will ever be used here. Sound attenuation is not a major issue. The room is in the center of the house and not much noise gets in.
However, I'm wanting a good mix of live and dead areas. I plan to puchase an Owens Corning product called, "SelectSound Black Acoustic Board to absorb reflections. I will cut into 2'x4' sheets and hang as is because the product is completely black.

I have a 6'x9' rug on the floor now.
In addition, the triple window only has miniblinds on it now but I'll putting up some thick cotten curtains to soften that area.
I did a session last week and am getting some not-so-undesirable natural reverb. I just don't want as much.
Will the OC product help? What other suggestions can you recommend for this room remembering since it's for acoustic music, I want a light, airy open sound.
Thanks,
Earl
