It's absolutely your room. Room modes are the worst. They create spots with zero bass frequencies, and you end up compensating unknowingly and ruining your songs.

1. Step one, (this is the most important part) build some bass traps like these in the corners. Top to bottom. All four corners. These are for controlling the low end of the room. The thicker the better.
   
2. Step two, build some acoustic panels like these from rockwool. I'd suggest a minimum of 10cm thickness. This is for mids and general absorbtion. Hang them on the walls and ceiling.
   
3. Buy some cheap foam panels. This is for the highs. Don't try and plaster your room with these as it'll do nothing except ruin your sound. Place them at reflection points.
   
4. Step four: After you get a good base sound for your room, place your monitors where you find it best, and then calibrate your listening spot with a measuring mic and Sonarworks 4. This is as important as step one. You won't be able to achieve perfection in your room no matter what. What this plugin does is it measure your peaks and valleys and applies a system-wide EQ on your PC to control that.
   
   After you did all of this, your mixes will absolutely translate and you won't have a problem.
   
   Room treatment is such a huge issue I can't believe people think buying monitors and sticking them in a random room is enough. I did all the steps listed above this summer and it's an absolute game changer. My room had literally no low end before, now I love listening to music as it sounds so good.
   
   Do it. Good luck.
   
   P.S. If you cant do bass traps, at least do mids and highs and Sonarworks. It's the least you could do.

Try getting sound proofing foam and attaching it to the walls with removable adhesive (just because I assume it can’t be permanent due to the apartment.) In theory it should reduce the echo factor of sound not allowing it to travel as much therefor keeping it more quiet as it absorbs into the foam instead of off the wall. Maybe ever try hanging a thick fabric or blanket in front of the window to serve the same purpose. Maybe use wall hooks from command for the foam and poke a hole just deep enough to hook it. Just a thought. Foam sound proofing

If you're able to, I highly recommend putting some acoustical foam on the walls and ceiling of your rehearsal space. It sounds a million times better. This stuff works great. They also have the fancy kind.

Buy some of these and move on

Maybe you can try soundproofing the walls with stuff like this? https://www.amazon.com/acoustic-soundproofing-insulation-soundproof-dampening/dp/B076JNCQ39

I think it's this one. I used this for the foam

I purchased some from amazon for around 10 dollars and they seemed to be just fine for moving and storing miniatures. (I didnt end up using them) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076JNCQ39/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Looks great. But I would suggest that you move the PSU out of the chamber to keep it cool. Also here is a link for some sound proofing foam and a link for a temp and humidity monitor. Lastly here is a final link to the ikea Prusa enclosure. I say get a few parts from this guide, but yours is so much better. I’m using a ROBO3D R1+ that I got from a pawn shop and modified overtime. Yours looks better

>I don't quite understand the difference between open cell and closed cell foam.

Think the difference between a sponge (open cell) and a styrofoam cup (closed cell).

"Pluck Foam" is a pretty popular product for applications like this. Basically it's open-cell foam with a grid cut into it most of the way through the foam pad. This lets you "pluck out" various squares to approximate the shape of the object you're wanting to protect. Commonly used when transporting minis for wargaming.

Not sure you'd find some that thin, though. https://www.amazon.com/SRA-Cases-Pre-Scored-Insert-EN-AC-FG-A019/dp/B00NPWLUHW/ this one is $11 for a bit over a square foot, but it's also 5x thicker than what you're talking about.

Acoustic foam might be closer to what you're wanting, it's certainly in the right price and dimension range, but it's also got that "egg crate" pattern that might be annoying for your purposes. https://www.amazon.com/acoustic-soundproofing-insulation-soundproof-dampening/dp/B076JNCQ39/

Upholstery foam might also be what you're looking for. https://www.amazon.com/Density-Cushion-Replacement-Mattress-Padding/dp/B074TTHFD8/

soundproof wall padding might help. same like this:

I'm thinking about this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076JNCQ39/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-C5fAb9CR9VB9 or https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B3Y6QDG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_qE5fAbN34Q1NQ
I plan on having a small vent to allow airflow

I personally wouldn’t go for a camera right away. Video podcasts are fun, but if you’re just starting out, you want to focus more on quality audio before messing with video. You’re going to want a mic that runs off phantom power rather than a USB mic. That being said, I recommended getting this cat right here. Super easy to use, works with all audio software and computers. And you can use mics that require phantom power which makes your audio sound, well, better. Just buy some decent condenser mics and record in a sound tight room and you’re good. Most mics you use will be okay as long as you record in the right room. Carpeted, small, you can also buy these to help with sound proofing.
