I record in my basement. It's like 25 x 40. My gear is in one corner. Outside walls are block, floor is concrete, with a 12x12 carpet on floor. Ceiling is 9" insulation in the joists.
My question is, would it be worth making some kind of treatment that would hang from the ceiling to make two walls, as to close in this corner, maybe like 12x12, which would make a room 12x12.
I was thinking something soft, so it would be easy to take down and put up. I don't want to build walls, cause we want the basement to stay open for socializing.
I thought about rigid insulation covered with material, but it would be kinda hard to store those. My wife suggested something simular to what we have on our bed, which is called a down comforter. This is a velcroed sleeve, made of bed sheet material, with a guilted down insert, that serves as a top sheet and top cover all in one. It's light, and seems to be very dense.
Would something like this, or any other suggestion you experts might have, improve the quality of the sound. Recordings are acoustic instruments and some vocals.
Of course, with my music, there may be no way to improve the quality, LOL.
Thanks,
Dan
