Good old common moving blankets are perfect and are pretty cheap -- although 
not always very attractive.

Hi folks.

Since I'm doing the same thing, trying to control reflections and
get rid of room nodes in my mixing/mastering space, here's my question.

Have people here improvised/built their own diffusers, absorbers
and bass traps? Or did you go with some of the commercial products
like those from Auralex?

I'd love to save some money going the DIY approach, but then again,
companies like Auralex have lots of actual science behind their
products.  That would save me a lot of trial and error.

One thing I'm considering is putting a large area rug on a wall to
cut down on reflections.  Is that a good idea, or should I go with
the acoustic foam products and just spend the money?

Chris
