Default Home Studio Sound treatment/Sound Proofing Question

HI everyone.

My home studio is almost idiotically small (approx 7ft x 8ft x 7.5ft
LxWxH), but provides a dedicated space for a desk (with eqpt rack,
nearfield monitors, computer monitor, etc), a couple of mic stands
and a stool to sit on while I play mainly acoustic guitar and record
vocals.


I'd appreciate your thoughts, suggestions for treatment materials, war
stories or any other advice you care to offer.


It's either a very quiet evening at home or everyone's still
replaying "Survivor" for subtle details. Spoiler alert: no
pretty girls were voted out.

But seriously, how long can you make a pair of microphone cables?
What else do you have available, room-wise? The current lack of
responses is at least partly because the you're asking the old joke
question "Doctor, when I hit my head with this hammer it hurts".

Of course you know that, and I don't want this post to come off
wrong, so maybe a better way to respond is "Is this little room
really the only alternative?"

If so, it'll take someone much smarter than me to help. Fortunately,
they abound.

All good fortune,

Chris Hornbeck
