sound proofing, etc.

[americanruse]

hi everyone. i come here alot, but very rarely chime in. however, i would appreciate some advice or ideas on soundproofing/reducing echo in my new studio.

i've moved into a new house, and i am moving my studio into my basement. one side is carpetted and all, and the other side is just concrete. i plan on using the already carpetted side for the live room, and the other side for the mixing room.

i've got alot of old carpet that i can use to help deaden the room, but i'm not sure what else i should do. i'd like cheap alternatives, but if i have to, i'm willing to shell out the money for the professional sound proofing recording foam stuff. oh, i'd also like ideas on how to block the furnace/water heater to reduce noise. i was thinkin' about building a little closet type thing for it, but maybe i can do something easier...


thanks much!
