That would save most peoples ass along with whatever diffusor you have planned. |
I've been meaning to post for a while. I recently added on two new recording rooms, and a bathroom to my studio (complete chaos, but more or less done in three weeks believe it or not!!)
We used some pretty new products for both isolation and treatment that people might be interested in (and btw - I am not financially involved with any of these products in the least, other than knowing a couple of the guys involved with this first thing)
First off - some friends of mine are making something very similar to what you are describing and I've been using a few of the prototypes. They are different sized traps that mount with a clip onto a mic stand!
They sound great - I've been using a pair around the drum kit (near the OH), and it helps a lot with annoying hi-hat/cymbal action.
I've also generally using one behind a vocal mic to help with bleed from a guitar amp (when singing/playing at the same time) and some of these scratch vocals have ended up as keepers!
They are calling them ModTraps and I believe they will have their first production run in the next few weeks.

For isolation we used two things I hadn't run into before. One called Green Glue - which is some space age goop that you sandwich between sheetrock layers, and it has an amazing STC rating. Kinda smelly and not cheap, but it sure seems to work...

and the other thing was called a sound clip. I'd used z-channel/resilient channel before, but this is a seperate rubber clip and then you hand the hat channel on the clips. Also not cheap and kind of a pain, but again seems to perform really well.

Anyway, hopefully this is helpful for somebody. It had been quite a few years since building my first rooms, and this new stuff kinda put my old ones to shame...
