10MM 159 - Soundproofing

Soundproofing is not just about appeasing the neighbours – it can improve your recordings, too. Grant Bridgeman goes in search of the quiet life.



Making a huge amount of noise doesn’t take much energy. Whether you’re practising with your new guitar through a Marshall 4x12 rig or beating the life out of a metal dustbin lid for a sound-design project, the effect will be the same: you’ll be making enough noise to be impacting on other people.
