hello
A search in the forum didn't reveal a similar situation.
Basically, we've been kicked out of our sacred jam/recording spot and are therefor moving to our guitarists (other) house.
In our old spot, we were underground, so had to worry little about distrubing the neighbors. In the new place, we are ground level, with two big 'ol windows letting all the sound out into the upper-class tightwad neighborhood. I give us a few days before the cops are called (and we DO pratice nearly every day).
The windows are set about a foot into the wall (which is concrete covered with drywall). This, we believe, is where all the sound is escaping from.
We figure we can stuff some folded over futon matresses into the holes and then screw a big ol piece of plywood over the windows.
Would this be the best route?
We also thought we'd put some 'o our egg crate studio foam (or those blue apple layer deviders that you can get during stocking at the supermarket) over the board for a little extra sound proofing.
Hints, tips, suggestions welcome.
