Maybe he should say it is a joke. It looks like huge sarcasm, and I took it as the guy making fun of the poster.
So you would "deaden the walls so you don't get slapback echo". What would you do this with, and how would you assure that you don't mess up the already fairly significant imbalance of RT time across the frequency spectrum that already exists in common stud and sheetrock rooms in a house?
It appears that your solution is to use foam products.Great, I can lower the RT time of frequencies above around 500hz even more now and spend a cool $400 on something that won't really address much of the real issues going on in the room, which is going to be stuff much lower than frequencies foam products are actually effective in dealing with.
neffi7, a man named John Sayers has an excellent website and BBS concerning studio design. I think you will want to head to it, and get some advice on making some simple bass traps and a few Helmholtz Resonators. These are the two most important acoustical treatments you can do in a room.
Please look into this before you waste a bunch of money doing sound treatments that won't address the issues that really make your room suck.
I'd also like to note that this post is the only one I've learned anything from in this thread, and since what's his name was banned again, we should consider NOT running this person off, just to keep the information flowing!
