I'm 18, and i'm attempting to scrape together a home studio in my bedroom, from whatever materials i can find, and whatever equipment i can afford. The music style ruffly resembles underground hip hop, but isn't typical, much more musical, if i dare say it... But anyways, i want to soundproof my room as best as possible, because my brother is right beside me, and my parents on the other side.
I was thinking of getting some thin strips of wood, and attaching them to the walls at the top, bottom, and middle, running horizontally across the wall. Then i would take some foam that i could find, and attach it to the thin strips of wood, so it would be suspended a few centimeters away from the wall, giving a small air buffer between the foam and the wall. i was also contimplating doing the old egg carton routine, and putting the eggcartons ontop of the foam, and on my ceiling, to provide even more deading. Now im not certain if this approach will actually help to sound proof my room at all, or if it will just provide slightly better accoustics for mixing and mastering. Or, it might do neither. Does anyone have any experience with this? or has tryed this? I don't know if there is a specific type of foam to use for sound deadening, but i was just gonna use whatever i could get my hands on, would anyone recomend a special type? And does anyone know of a better way to do a makeshift soundproofing/acoustics job on a small bedroom? If you could post up your experiences, and your methods to do this, i would greatly apriciate it.
