What can foam be used for?

[ryansanders]

My dad brought home some foam the other day from his work (for a guitar cabinet of mine). Its like 4 inches thick or so. He said they throw the stuff away up there.. I told him to keep bringing it home.

So my question is.... How could this foam be used for home recording? Are there any things that I could rig up?

You could use it for packing...

The acoustic foam is different than the stuff used for shipping. There is a reason why acoustic foam is $20 for a 2x4 sheet and shipping foam gets thrown in the trash by the truckload.

Ahh. Well.. That will save me some money when shipping then. LOL Overpriced shops around here.

Thats not even funny! Depending on what it looks like it might be useful. Egg crate foam is semi effective at diffusing some waves.

Topping up a cappuccino you eaten/slurped the froth from! (I did want to be ist with the beer thing!)
Oh NO! The Egg Crate Conceptual Discussion thread is up for renewal again.
I use foam between thing in my rack, to line the box I put around my comp to lessen its noise - there's stuff it'll do just not as well as acoustic foam. You can use it to craete a dead zone behind your mic.
