Hey guys :)

I'm looking to get some soundproofing done in my studio, so I can produce/mix at night without annoying my neighbours. It's rented accommodation however, so I'm not really sure what I can use that I'd be able to take down when I move out.

Anybody have any ideas?

:)
 
Use headphones?

I applaud your neighbourly concern.

Neighbour noise used to be a pet hate of mine.

Hang on - of you can't afford a decent set of cans how can you possibly afford a full-on soundproofing of your 'studio'?

Nailing egg cartons to the walls won't cut it.

Well no, I can't afford proper soundproofing :)

I was looking for a DIY solution that I'd be able to take down :)
 
I seen some ghetto pics where people have used egg boxes, I haven't go a clue if it really works though.

You have more than one pair of ears?

Seriously - you must be able to mix down to a single set of cans.
Not ideal I suspect but better than other options?

Producing a track yeah, but when I'm DJing I need to be able to hear the incoming track separately from the master out.
 
I sort of see what you are saying - but you still only have two ears - which can be covered by stereo headphones.

I'm not helping so I'll bow out.
