I'm moving into a new place and along with the move, I'm planning on turning the basement into a recording studio. I've got a budget of only about $1500 for control room treatment and I want to make it count. I've seen all over the place online that bass trapping is priority number one and read all about OC and Roxul's insulation being great but pricey etc.
I have a friend who said he successfully used donna conna (sp?) board in creating bass traps for a friend years ago. Is there legitimacy to this? As far as I knew, absorption was the key and I'm seeing a lot of posts regarding donna conna's usefulness as an extra soundproofing layer rather than absorbing low end specifically. Obviously if I can, I'd rather use the donna conna board because it's a waaaaaay cheaper solution but I would like to know if anyone out there has pros and cons for using it as my trapping material, I'd be grateful to hear them.
My room's dimensions are 19' 9" x 11' 5 5/8" x 8' so I'm going to need a lot of whatever I wind up using, I just wanna make sure it's right.
