And w/ a slight touch of black...

Everything is a whole lot better. That's strictly aesthetic and psychological - I needed to kill the daylight and to recreate a vibe where I'd feel comfortable, so these curtains have no pseudo-acoustic properties. I didn't want to cover every square inch either - but then I saw pictures of a funeral home where they were alternating curtains and bare walls, so I adapted the idea to my workspace. 

I'll probably add a little morbid touch here and there, like my copy of Bela Lugosi's death certificate and such. If I were rich, I'd probably have a mixing desk built into a coffin. ;) 
 
The sound of the room has changed a bit though, but it's probably more to do w/ the fact that I've removed the closet's sliding mirrors (and found a much better place for them, downstairs in the gym).
 
Before:






After:






We have some time off in May and I'm hoping to start working on the bass traps then.
