    Default studio sound proofing 101

    So I'll be moving into a new place on September 1st. The good news is thats like a ****ing palace. The bad news is that it's in a 5-plex with neighbors. For the first time in 6 years I'll actually have to construct a reasonable studio again. I don't really produce my music too loud so I don't have to put too much effort into it. The one thing I am worried about is the bass as it tends to carry more than mid's or hi's. Does anybody have simple and cost effective tips on keeping the bass in? I looked at some of those bass traps but I am not convinced they'll do trick for the $200-300 price tag. Thanks in advance!

    Bass is hard to stop.. The only thing that stops bass is mass. Period. Foam sound tiles and etc are just for interior reflections.
