[blparent] Drums and how to muffle them.

[Michael Babcock]

I actually use them when I was doing online broadcasting, to put around my dorm room for a more filling sound to the acoustics, it actually sounded like we were in a studio, and I think made a great asset to the show. Too bad I didn't still have some old archives of both prior and after using the egg cartons, I used to have them until a hard drive crashed into thousand nine, so Guys, just take this from someone who knows from experience, always back up important files that 10 years down the road you wish you still had.

>> Egg cartons are great noise canceling aids, if you don't have money to invest in alternatives. In addition, the nice thing about egg cartons, is all you really have to do is take them to the wall, and make sure the entire wall is covered. Then, sounds should not sleep from your location. Hope this ups, oh yeah, and it will do some interesting things to the acoustics in the room, that your four-year-old might find entertaining.
