Aiming to build my own Gobos

Any links to good directions are welcome!
 
This is the first thing I found.

I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

    Hi, gswitz. Unfortunately I don't have them bookmarked but there have been some very good threads in some of the subforums here on site with external links to other resources. I think in the Coffee House and Techniques tabs so maybe a google search + Cakewalk Forums + Bass Traps or Sound Treatment will bring them to the surface.
     
    Cheers.

    My wife just said I have to go buy studio space if I'm going keep bringing this cr*p in here. :-)
     
    Does that sound like a go ahead to you?

    Of course it's a go ahead.  She is saying you need to extend your studio space, maybe build an extension, to house the new gear.
     
    I have bookmarked some DIY gobo stuff, I'll dig them out and post them.
     
    P.S. I always balance the cost of more gear against the cost of a divorce, and decide from there.

    only a little better with better foam and bigger, mounted to a large stand.

    Hi, Geoff.
     
    These were the only ones I found in my favourites:

    I'm sure I had more/better.  I'll have another look later.  Mass definitely seems to be an important factor.

    All kind of good ideas
     
    Don't discount a good wool blanket or quilt. They work real well too.
     
    best regards,
