Re: OT: DIY Music Room sound-proofing

["Jeff Duke" <jeff_d@embarqmail.com>]

I agree. I always introduce myself to my neighbors and give them my 
number. 
I try to be considerate of when and how long I make noise. I also have 
never 
had a call. I am also friendly with my landlord who is amazed at my little 
home studio and looping in general. Courtesy is better and cheaper than 
soundproofing.
