yeah and egg crates also only stop the very top end frequencys reflecting - they are virtually useless things..

i think auralex do have some soundproofing products - dont they have that sound barrier stuff that you buy on the roll?

anyways..

yeah - you need a room within a room, sunken ceiling, raised floor blah blah, its a bit of a ****in mission tho.. give dean a ring mark cos he had to soundproof his old studio so he knows the practicalities of it all, and he's a lovely chap so he'll be glad to help.

re. the acoustic foam, this is well worth getting into...

i can honestly say i would rather use a set of cheap hi-fi speakers from richer sounds that are well placed and in a completly dead space than a pair of £900 mackie monitors badly placed, in a room that reflects..
and only about 1 in 10 people seem to bother setting thier room up properly - such a waste
