Sound Proofin' Question


Fuckholes

Recommended Posts

Are egg cartons worth saving? :crazy:

nah.

if you're serious about soundproofing, there are acoustical foam panels that have an egg-cartony surface....if you're really going to town, roxul makes a sound insulation that's just deadly. we use it at work when we make machine covers. that's what they used in the Very Quiet Tunnel that they used to have at the Science Centre...

i went to your page but couldn't hear the tunes. (im still running windows 98 :blush: , and find that fewer and fewer things work on the net, so it might be me too...)

No. They don't work very well, and are a fire hazard to boot.

To properly sound proof a room, first seal up any holes to spaces outside the room. After this, you need mass to deaden the sound. If you're renovating, you can get special drywall that's designed to soundproof. In a pinch, hanging heavy cloth (or carpeting) up on the wall (say, an inch or two out from it) helps a lot.

If you're recording only one instrument, try putting the instrument (or its cabinet/amp + mic) in, say, a closet (deadened with cloth, duvets, etc.), or even build a dedicated box for it.

I did a Google search that might be helpful, and it turned up
