What room do you make your recordings in?

I'm lucky enough to have a converted 30' by 15' bedroom for my studio, and have covered every possible wall surface with bookshelves full of different size and shape books; it turned an insanely 'live' room to a very good sounding one. Plus there's lots of stuff to read during downtimes!

I love this. Let's make a note for the book collectors... "shrink your foam budget - expand your mind" or "keep your mind alive while deadening your room reverb". Noted!

We just added foam and curtains to our podcast studio, made a huge difference!

Love the way you work with and mix with reverb . So many engineers (including myself) don’t know how to use it as well . Thank you for this
