Sound proof studio…I know I have to put studio foam on the walls but do I have to put them on concert walls?
I’m building a recording studio and there are three walls that are already standing made out of concert. I know when sound proofing a recording studio you use the studio foam to put on the walls. But do I have to put the foam on the concert walls. Since there concert is that sound proof enough?
Depends, do you want the sound bouncing off the concrete walls? or do you want it absorbed by the foam? For a studio, you want foam on the concrete walls to prevent multiple paths between the sound sources and the microphones. Concrete is good at preventing sound from getting through it but it also reflects sound and that’s not good for a studio since it’s not just whether or not the sound can get out of the studio but more importantly what the sound quality is within the studio.
On a side note, if you have such an interest in music then how did you confuse the spelling between concrete and concert? You do know what a concert is don’t you?
