Call out to all the grandmas in your hood and collect some old HEAVY blankets to lay over the gobo things. Less reflections, more absorbtion. Put them up in angles to each other for less "focus" in their reflections.
I didn't look at the frequency absorbtion data but would be suspicious about them anyway. Hard felt surface, that's why you want those 20 blankets to use with them. You may consider airing the blankets if they smell like a dead animal. Or record mostly bands that are heavily into the dead animal thing. You could specialise in death bands and just tell them the blankets are from a mortuary. As long as they don't ask what a mortuary needs blankets for.
Good advice is now passed on. |

I went with the "for $20 I might as well pick up 10 or 15 and figure it out later." I'm gonna start by doubling up two of them and figuring out some way to get them to stand up. None of them have brackets or anything. I'll post some updates. I like the idea of putting some 701 or equivalent between the two and wrapping them. But first I'm gonna figure out how to mount them on a stand so that they are GoBo's and not StayBo's. These sort of situations are where I go looking online for some unrelated product that can be repurposed for this use. There are a lot of various steel made, wheeled stand/cart type of products out there that, even if they aren't made for this purpose, would totally work as a starting point for modification. |
