>>7935689>>7939524It does not the way he's using it. Most people use acoustic foam wrong as I assume this poster is as well.
It does NOT do anything to make the sounds quiter or dampen anything. All it does is give flat surfaces such as walls and ceilings more texture so that the sound waves don't immediatly bounce back but instead disperse. This prevents reverb and is very important to have a clean sound recording. here are the world's loudest and the world's quitest room right next to each other,
youtu.be/Qpn-G-OFbkM?t=46 notice what I mean?
Unless you have most (70%+) of the flat areas (floor, walls, windows, ceilling...) covered with proper acoustic foam ( the expensive stuff with big edges, not that cheap shit that resembles egg cartons) you will not have achieved any proper acoustic treatment and might as well just not do it in the first place.
It does look pretty dope so most people just put it up for aesthetic reasons and there's nothing wrong with that but don't get fooled about the snake oil audiophiles that pretend covering a single square meter behind their computer screen is doing anything.
