"Sound proofing, when it comes to sound proofing a room for recording there's many different options you got. If you got, don't have the drywall up you know at your studio set up, you can put up insulation right inside of the wall before you put your drywall up. Because we know if you are anything like me, you be recording at late hours of the night and you don't want to have your system knocking and your neighbors calling the police on you, so you got to make sure that you got a sound proof room so that your sound stays in, it's not leaking out. On top of that you don't want to get echo and feedback bouncing off the walls cause you are not going to get a clear sound. So like I said you know there's plenty of options that you got when it comes to sound proofing. Like I said you can put it right in the wall, if you haven't got your drywall up, put a fiber glass insulation in. If you do already have your drywall up, you can cut a hole in the wall and they got a Styrofoam that you can spray into the wall that will thicken up your insulation and keep your sound in and get you a rich sound on the microphone. Or what I recommend you know if you already got your wall or your studio up you can go out to your online studio shop or accessories, maybe even guitar centers somewhere and get you what they call foam that you can put right on the outside of your wall. And that works just as well, you know and if, you know for all your big ballers out there you can just call an insulation company and they will come out and hook you up, you know real good and professionally, just like that. And last you know but not least for you cats who are trying to scrape up a dollar together you know there's always the poor man's sound proof like you seen in hustle and flow, you can go to your local McDonald's and grab a thousand Styrofoam cup holders and spend your day stapling them along your wall but you know to each his own. But so when it comes to sound proofing like I said you got many different options but you want to make sure that you got a sound proof room so that you get a quality sound when you do your recording."
