Ugh…thanks for that. I’d totally forgotten about that.

Well. The easy way is to just bring in some planks of wood, either prop it up against the walls or in front of the kick drum.

Since you can’t tear anything down the only way is to cover it up like that.

But in reference to your post, we rent studio space where we can’t do anything permanent as far as building bass traps or mounting anything on the walls. Not to mention, the entire space is covered in foam soundproofing, because multiple bands rent out space. Do you have any suggestions that would add life to the room? a little reflectivity or ambience would be great. Right now, it’s dead as a door nail.
