One of the reasons I ask about the curtains is because here is my setup (I'll post some pics once I get a chance) I have 2 closets behind the mix position which I've taken the doors off of, mounted 4 2x4 6" inch traps approx. 4 inches off of the back wall (2 traps in each closet).. I just got curtains for curb appeal to cover the closets. I guess the question is do you or anyone on here think that having the curtains closed cancels out what I did with the bass traps in the closet or does it help it? Or maybe have no effect at all? I guess it's simple enough to just open them when I mix if that will be better.
All in all I think you guys will like what I did here, by opening the closets it added another 2 ft of length to the room. When I post the pics I'll do it on another thread...I don't mean to hi-jack yours takman. |
the thicker the curtain the better...a curtain with thin material would be better than nothing...
Its also good if the curtain has folds in it when extended...acts like a diffusor
I doubt the curtain over the closet it having any negative effects on your bass traps.....the Low frequencies will pass right through even a thick curtain...
