I bought the Harlan Hogan Porta-Booth Plus many years ago thinking it would be a great solution for on-the-road recording.
Long story short: I ha ... |

My commercial demo was produced in 2009. It's opened several doors, for which I'm very grateful, but I have a growing concern about it: the demo opens with two spots that refer to products/events fro ... |

I'm afraid you may be wasting your time and money on this idea by missing a crucial point.
Where isolation is concerned, even the smallest crack can let in a good deal more exterior noise than you ... |

Thanks, Lee. As I mentioned, I was thinking that framing with 2x4s would be better for future expansion. If I want to later add something like Roxul to insulate the walls, and an outside wall surfac ... |
