Booth

[i_jr_i]

Ok, I have a question on the recording booth foam.

I read that I can use nails and glue.

I'm thinking of using screws.

Now, If I was to use it with a drill will the foam rip? Cuz I was thinking of measuring the foam, and making the holes with the screws and the drill, and then coming back and screwing the screws with a screwdriver, I'm going to put as much hard labor as I can into my booth.

Now, If its easier with nails, what type of nails will should I use, and is it easy to remove incase I have to move?

I belive that the walls are Dry Walls, Not entirly sure. But please specify the size and name of nails and screws, ect. Thank you, Very Appreciated

What's recording booth foam? Don't use screws. Don't even use foam, unless it's from Auralex.

And Auralex is garbage... so don't even bother with that.. make some treatments on your own. or hit up realtraps.com

foam? some is better than none, Auralex is better than bed pads/egg crates. however, they're right, if you can afford it, wrap some 2" 703 (rigid fiberglass) in burlap or muslin and hang them instead.

if you have to use either screws or nails, use nails. if you're set on getting foam, why not try velcro strips on the back to attach them? i'm not sure if the velcro strip adhesive will stick to the foam - never tried it. i think it will.
