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.
 
 

Thanks, JB.

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

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.
