Location: Burbank | Thanks. Got the first 5 hung up and it just looks cool. I had to stop because we have guests over and so someone is sleeping in the bed so construction has halted for a short time. More to come. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | When I built the bandroom, I lined all the walls and ceiling with 1/2" acoustic board, then covered all of this with carpet. This made the room absolutely dead as well as kept the volume from entering the rest of the house above it. I thought it was too dead, but as I added guitars and metal signs to the walls, it added a bit more liveliness. I wouldn't recommend these steps unless the space is intended to be used as a genuine practice room or jam space. |

Location: When?? | There have definitely been some great and famous recordings produced in rooms with a lot less visually appealing aesthetic than how the listener's ears will ever "see" it. When I built my first home studio I named it "Millend Studios" because we deadened the whole thing with mill ends of ultra thick upholstery fabric I got from a friend in the business. Boy, was that ever a flowery looking studio... but it worked quite nicely and was easy to adjust for various sound reflections and cornering.

Location: Utah | The music room in my new home is the dreaded cube, 10x10x10. Some foam in the corners has helped tremendously. Heavy curtains will go up over the window, and several areas of foam will go on the walls. A small couch also absorbs some energy. It will be a good sounding room before long. |
