  1. IMHO, Wrong answer: bigtime. You'll be sorry. !. It's a dust/bug trap more than a sound trap. 2. It has the distinct effect of deadening ALL frequencies, not exactly what you want. Especially for recording. 3. Carpet is ugly as hell as a wall covering, if you're going to use anything at all similar, at least use a tapestry so that it at least adds to the aesthetic of a room. Hang it from a ceiling and it makes a somewhat effective High Frequency dampener. 4. Carpet will generate/collect mold and mildew in the winter, it collects moisture from a room and can cause health problems, especially breathing related issues. Not to mention what a dry room will do to guitars and drums... A better idea is to treat the room's modes, Like Low frequency build up {standing waves}, High frequency flutter echoes and the like...If you are attempting to SOUNDPROOF a room, there are no easy, quick, or cheap answers. You will have to spend real money to do that ...
  2. A combination of things really. One, my sheer hatred and distrust of our Gov't. To this day I can see JFK's top being popped like it was yesterday, and I sensed even then that Gov't was somehow responsible, which to this day , I still believe it was. I was maybe a year and a half old by then, I don't know why it's still so clear.I guess that and many other examples of pain and wrong made me want to write a song...and right a wrong...lolol. I guess it inspired me to be political before I got my own head blown off. A means of expressing all the hate and rage which would cause me to more rapidly age... And if y'all hadn't noticed, my completely unreasonable fascination with rhyme. I guess I sensed early that chics wanted and dug poets...which was something I knew I needed {chics} but didn't know how to get...and listenning to R&R for the first time. When I was 5, my older stepbrother introduced me to Led Zeppelin I: Whole Lotta Love and then the rest of the Album, and then he qued up Are you Experienced by Jimi. I would never be the same {sane?} again...I'ts all the {Jimmy's, Jimi's} fault! A pretty decent beginning to a pretty decent exposure of genius. I soon discovered Radio, and the list went on and on... That began my fascination with the electric guitar in general and sound in particular...Particularly large shoes to fill as an example to follow... Anyway, let the good times roll, teenage angst, social distortions, multiple drug addictions, car accidents, falses starts, false prides and false tries, severe alchololism and mental illness and multiple trips to mental wards later, I began to realize that this {censored} wasn't so easy as it sounded and I had no idea why I could not stay grounded, but I guess it lit the fire of my soul and imagination, cause after all is said and done There is no more desperation and I'm still having Fun! Yeah, I got clean and sober and started my own journey into reality with all it's duality, cosmic debris, {are you listening Jerry?lolol} hypocrisy and brutality, forever changing my legacy into which I now can see the epitome of my own identity. I could go on, there are about 100 or so more entries I could use but then I would just be cheating my muse...Why do you persist, Mr. Anderson, Why? Only you can answer that for yourself...How do I feel about keeping it real? It's a license to kill and a license to steal... In earnest though, I must admit, this response to this topic, has been strangely therapuetic...Thanks for asking.
