for hi-freq & mids absorption, sure. don't think that foam on walls will do anything for your low end, though. and the foam corner guys seem to get mixed reviews. do a search for ethan weiner, and you'll find a lot to read.

You're probably trying to keep the bass from disturbing others right? Isn't that the problem most of us run into?

Sound proofing does not exist... Sound isolation is what it should be reffered to...

Nothing that Auralex makes that you can stick on a wall is going to stop any bass from traveling through the rest of the building. The only thing that is capable of stopping bass sounds is airmass sandwiched between two walls. You have to build a room within a room, and completely isolate that room from the rest of the structure using rubber floaters, resilient channel and a couple walls with double layers of 5/8" drywall..

So, if you're trying to find something that will keep the bass sounds from traveling throughout the rest of your house, you might as well flush the money down the toilet because none of that foam stuff is going to help.

Also, you have to isolate the floors and ceiling as well....

If you want to do it right, you start here. . . and then after building your studio space correctly you should be a lot better off and can start adding the foam inside for the mids and highs.

Check out this site it will walk you through building the room right with Auralex stuff.

Foam can only do broadband absorbtion.

So it can't realy solve acoustical problems.

You only see it in home studio's.

Use good dimentions, diffusers and helmholtz resonators instead.

Edit: And it certainly can't soundproof your studio.
