    Tips for the basic basic accoustic treatment ?

    Ok, i record in my bedroom in a house i share with buddies, and its basicaly a 10 by 12 square with a pretty tight fitting door and a small window. So how can I very cheaply (im broke as fuck) just make the rooms acousitcs sound better. I have some ideas from recording courses i've taken, but those were expensive and i want some suggestions from people that have actually done it.

    Are you trying to treat your recording area or your mixing area?

    Buy some cotton filled moving blankets with grommets, so you can hang them.

    6.5. x 6, for 16 bucks each with grommets.

    great for mic booths... i got regular blankets in mine, and it sounds great, i'm planning to change them out for moving blankets soon.
    crazy?


    witness moving blankets in the booth, in a B studio at Sony.
    that mic he's recording on is $7500... lol




    you can buy them by the dozen as well... so, 36 sqft of coverage per blanket times 12... you do the math... $135 for a dozen cotton ones.

    no they look like the top of triangles... when you look up from the floor at the ceiling... the blanket should complete the triangle... get it? see what I'm saying..? if you have a square room... and do what I'm saying... the room would not be square... it would be an octagon... feel me?
