You can't make it "soundproof"

If you're looking to consult with someone about this, give me a call. I work with so many musicians throughout the US and have helped them a great deal! I'd highly recommend using acoustic panels in a space like yours, to help control mid and high range frequencies and to help lower the sound pressure in the space. Using a barrier product would be best though if you could get inside the wall, or simply add a layer of 5/8" drywall over top. I'm more than happy to give advice here or by phone. Thanks!

Audimute Acoustic Panels and Absorption Sheets both feature eco-C-tex, the latest in Audimute’s green soundproofing innovations. Made from a blend of cotton and cellulose, eco-C-tex proves to be the GREENEST acoustics absorption material in today’s marketplace and a better alternative to traditional fiberglass and synthetic acoustic panels. By converting recycled paper into cellulose fibers, paper is kept out of landfills where it has the potential to pollute the environment. In addition, the eco-C-tex manufacturing process is eco-friendly, using only 1/10 of the energy required to produce fiberglass and 1/40 of the energy used to create foam.

So, do you have any testing results that bolster your claim that recycled paper products have a better STC than rigid fiberglass?

I don't see any posted, and I'm skeptical that your products perform as well as you claim.
 
Regardless of whether recycled paper works, I can build cheaper panels out of 703 and know they'll work.

Amen, brother. Quick, back of the envelope figgering says I'm about $25 for a 2'X4'X2" 703/canvas/strapping panel and $32 for 4". My labor is free of course and I didn't include glue and staples and plastic wrap but still pretty cheap compared to buying finished product. I'll stick with the industry standard, thanks but the Kumbaya crowd ought to eat the eco-panels up.

You sound like more of a salesman than a consultant. You also don't sound like you've invested much time in learning the subject.
