Okay, great, I'll check out the article. Real quick, though, while I have internet access, if I were to throw in bookshelf-type bass traps, where would I put them? The instrument configuration of the room is basically a circle, drums in the corner and amps arrayed in a 20ish-foot semicircle, facing the drums.

Should such a trap be close to the "bassiest" sources (i.e. bass amp)? Or does it matter?

Secondly, any idea on how much #703 insulation costs?

Thirdly (I forgot to ask this in the initial post), if absorption methods are reducing the total sound energy in the room, is that then reducing the volume heard outside of the room? Or is that totally wrong-headed?

Thanks, everybody, this has already been very helpful.
