I recently converted an upstairs living room into my studio.  I love it,
but unfortunately I have a long reverb in the room, due to wood floors.
Basically I don't really have anything to "catch" the sound from
bouncing around all over the place.

 

I am looking into buying some of the Aurulex [spelling?] foam kits and
put on my walls, but I was wondering if anyone had any slightly cheaper
ideas.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Paul

Exactly. And this way you'll be able to roll it up for a more live 
sound which may be desirable for certain recordings.

If you were going to do something for walls on a budget do it a stage 
at a time. Look at the shape of your room and attend to the paralell 
surfaces (floor ceiling?) first, to address the main standing wave 
issues. Then do some recordings and then move onto the next most 
important whatever you deem that to be. Remember that getting your room 
to sound right will improve your recordings sound far more than a fancy 
new compressor etc - and it's worth getting right and maybe even taking 
some professional help to that end.
