#soundproof?

In this second update from the audio workshop, we explore some of the ways I'll be going about dealing with an untreated space and a very limited budget. Starting with a serious look at your end goals, how should you spend your money? Are you trying to keep sound in? Maybe there are outside sounds you want to keep out? Perhaps neither is an issue, but your room just doesn't sound very good? All things to consider before wasting resources on approaches that may well intentioned but incorrect for your situation.

The primary function of my space is to record & edit dialogue for video and podcasts. It sounds like a concrete box & I've got noise coming in from above. We'll look at addressing each of these on a very modest budget. If you've been in this position before, you're probably familiar with the cheap pyramid foam available online. Flat foam is also popular these days due to the low cost of large sheets. By FAR the most popular suggestion I've received from you on social media, has been to use Owens Corning 703 panels. While this is a fantastic approach to acoustically treat a finished space, the hight cost of shipping a six pack of OC-703 panels (roughly $40 per $60 pack of 6) makes finding a local retailer critical to purchasing in quantity.

I've linked all of the items below if anyone is playing along at home in their own space or thinking about starting a podcast or youtube channel in the future.
