Have any of you "high end" dooodz used sound board on your walls to deaden a studio room or your home studio?? I bought some this weekend and plan on putting it up next weekend with 2" studio foam over it. When I was getting the stuff, I soon realized it smelled like a cross between wet socks and a turd on a skillet. This is not the preferred scent for creative inspiration I want for my home studio.
First of all, does it do a very good job of deadening the room and keeping out sounds from the outside world? I was thinking that putting a coat of paint over it might seal in the stink. Anyone done that? It's ugly. It reaks and it falls apart easily. It damn well better do it's job.
Thanks,
Steve
