This isn't even acoustic foam.. its packing foam I got from the manager of a local FED EX. The irregular surface is what tames the echo.

Not recommended for a pro studio, but for what I do, "the price was right for the tight"


I've heard not to use egg crate for acoustic treat because it really does nothing. What I've done for my studio so far is had someone I know come and make costume panels for me. I haven't really been able to tell a difference because the room is pretty big and there's not a lot of panels placed on the walls. I also have a giant window on one of the sides of the room which may reflecting the echo.
