Hey, all!
I'm moving my studio into a shop space. It'll be a big improvement in most ways I think. Most obviously, more room for musicians to play together and look at each other. That stuff's a big deal and I'm hoping to lean into more live tracking opportunities/options! There's not quite enough room to build a control room and leave the room I want for the live room so I'm sacrificing the existence of a control room for the musicians and their happiness.
But...I have a problem.
The room is fairly reflective and I'm not able to attach anything to the walls or ceiling. I have a number of free-standing panels I've already made and I plan to make more as necessary. Those will serve as my absorption and diffusion in the horizontal realm. But I need to do something about the vertical plane.
The ceiling is 14 feet high so it's not exactly a super audible slap...but it's definitely not useable for mixing. I'll need to build a free-standing cloud/gazebo/absorptive ceiling for my mix position. I'd like to have one to live over a drum kit or vocalist when the production calls for it, too, but that's the next step down the line.
Anyone have any great ideas about how to construct some free-standing absorptive clouds?
