Duvets on Wheels
      #257103 - 21/02/06 02:41 AM
I have a cowboy, devil may care attitude to room treatment. Its Duvets, pillows and Rugs really. And pictures for reflection. Its all a bit haphazard.

I have a couple of those Argos portable clothes hangers. You know the tubular steel jobs on wheels. From my living in a car days.

I have these covered in thick Duvets. I tend to move them around depending on what Im doing. They help a lot being about 6'X 3' or thereabouts. They are moved behind me and strategically in front and to the side of mics, to create a two sided soft room when im tracking. I put them either side of me when mixing and so on. They are handy and easy to move.

Im wondering about filling the cavity with something and covering them in something else to make them a bit more permanent and affective. Thinking about rockwool slabs cut to size and fitted in there with some kind of covering.

Im really looking for something versatile thta can be used for the same applications as now. But being a bit more permanent and doing a better job of it! I want to stick with the clothes rails though. These frames on wheels seem ideal.

Any ideas on these screen, trap, ornament type things? Would the kind of sandwich shown on the DVD003 vocal booth treatment on that large wall panel do anything for me? Perhaps with different coverings on each side to give some added versatility.

Any good stuff would be appreciated. No point hitting me with too much science. And Im not looking for perfection. Just something cheap and diy store thats versatile.
