It has made a 100% difference for my small, home-based project studio. I can use a fig-8 ribbon (or 2) over, and in front of the kit at an 80+ degree angle with no discernible 'slap-back' issues. Just do NOT leave them like that for long periods of time...you can damage the ribbons with gravity, at that angle, over a period of time (also, ALWAYS store ribbon mics with the ribbon in a vertical position.) |
I just spoke to auralex and they said diffusors over the drums on an 8 foot high ceiling isn't gonna do much. I bought and placed about $1300 worth of absorbtion around the room per auralex's specifications as well as 6 diffusors on the back wall behind the mixing area. So the room is already about as good as it's gonna get.
