Sound Absorption / Treatment

 

I recently moved from an apartment on a noisy street to a different apartment a few blocks away on the same noisy street.  I have wanted to work on a few musical projects that involve recording live instruments, vocals, etc, for some time.  The loud nature of my living quarters has made this impossible.  In my studio in the new apartment, however, is a rather large closet measuring 5.5' x 4' x 8.5'.  It is not luxurious, but it is more than sufficient for a vocal/small recording both provided it is treated properly.  To get it to a useable state, it will require some bass traps around the sides, some treatment on the door, and foam around the sides and on the ceiling.
