FOAM BY MAIL is worthless for acoustic-treatment !!!
(read more on the realtraps site...)

covering all (or at least some of) your corners (floor to ceiling) with DIYed Fiberglass Panels, covered in fabric!
or for even better performance and less hassle, buy some GIK-Traps or Realtraps!

...add some more panels mounted 45° between wall/ceiling!


this will do much more basstrapping than ANY foam-based product can do, some of the auralex stuff scattered around the walls will help taming flutter-echoes, and provide additional hi/hi-mid absorption...but you don´t wanna overdo it!


any kind of closed-cell foam will do NOTHING!
it´s not rocket science, but you can´t fool some basic physics-laws either!
and again...FOAM BY MAIL will NOT help you with your room sound. period!
