Acoustic treatment of your music room/studio?

[markal]

For those who practice, write, record or whatever in a room in your home, have you added any acoustic treatment or sound insulation?

My guitar room (also my home office for my day job) is a bedroom in our finished basement. It’s pretty small, with not much hanging on the walls. I wonder if the sound would be a little better with some acoustic panels on the walls or other treatment.

What do you all do?

I hang Moving Blankets all over the place.
Cuts down on he reflections.

I wish I had a solution. I have a great 2nd-floor music room, but one entire wall - which faces the street - is windows. And I live on Main Street. If I'm using mics, I have to record at 2:00 AM when there are no cars on the road.

Couch cushions and an SM-57 are my secret. Lo-fi forever!

My room echoed bad. My lady hung plants in the corners. Helped a bunch. And really ties the room together

One inch thick old barn siding.

Use "a 8 or 10 foot roll of blanket insulation" on the ceiling but don't finish/cover it. Just have it tacked up like a puffy tuck'n roll. Hang rugs, acoustic tiles or heavier blankets on the walls and carpet/rugs or eva foam matt on the floors. Have a basement guitar room/napping room in a corner area so that 2 walls are to the ground and 2 walls are to the rest of the basement...and thus no windows. Basements work well at keeping the outside noise to a minimum. But if fairly well out of the way, i.e., not next to the furnace, washer or dryer.

My wife walks into the room where I’m playing and sucks all the air out. No air, no sound.

Bookshelves do a great job absorbing and dispersing over a wide range of frequencies.

EDIT: Full ones that is.
