My question with the "fire hazard" part of it is more like "Is my house suddenly more likely to catch fire if I staple 100 paper egg cartons on my wall?" Nobody smokes in my house so there is no flame ever. Gar range.... I mean if my house catches fire it catches fire. I don't see the egg cartons being some sort of candidate for spontaneous combustion. I have HUNDREDS of the paper cartons that someone was saving and gave to me. The styrofoam ones I wouldn't use anyway. They seem more reflective than absorbent.

I don't know if I am going to bother or not because I record everything direct anyway, but this debate has been going on forever and I wondered what the opinions would be here. First I need to paint and get the track lighting up. And my see through windows to see from one room to the other (where the drummer would sit for live recording).

Live recording IS in my future but for now I just record RB parts and it is all through a mixer with the room level down low.
