anyone got any nice tips or anything??
i don't have a bookcase or anything i can use unfortunately!!
i'll have to go out and buy somethin
rugs on the wall seems like a good idea, it's just a matter of figuring out a way to get em up there (since i am in a rental property)
cheap ways to treat your studio accoustics?

You know these "oriental" chamber screens? Maybe they could do nicely to put up rugs without drilling holes...
I once stored a mattress in my studio room, standing up to one wall and it absorbed loads of reflections!

You can make *excellent* and cheap studio treatments from used office cubicle panels - there are boatloads of them available at around $5-10 USD apiece. You can mount them on walls or make a very nice vocal booth or amp closet from them. You can even mount them across a corner to reduce standing waves. They look a lot more professional than egg cartons and packing materials.

If you don't like how these look, they can easily be changed just by wrapping them with some cheap and wild, fairly porous cloth.

I hung a thick double duvet on the wall behind my monitors, and so far haven't felt the need to do anything else: my mixes seem to be travelling pretty well..

i'd actually thought of this a while back, but had no idea where you could get em, and thus put them out of my mind.
actually, i still have no idea where you can get em. but you have rekindled my interest, so i will hunt some down on the weekend

Try some Rigid fiberglass, wrapped in Burlap. The fiberglass should cost ~$5 for a 2x4 foot panel, and the burlap should be cheap in bulk also.
Try Owens Corning 703 or equivalent for mid-high range acoustic control, and Owens Corning 705 or equivalent for the bass/low mids. The 705 panels should be at least doubled up to be 2" thick, but you can also do 3 or 4" if you have a pronounced bass problem.
Mount some 703 panels on the walls as needed/desired, with space between the panel and the wall, and put the 705 panels across the corners. I'd guess you'll want to shoot for 30-35% area coverage.
