Soundproofing
Does anyone have any experience with this product?

I am looking for a low cost way to reduce sound coming out of my music room. This looks pretty good for the price. Is an NRC of .70 good?
Thanks

moving your thread to sound
I saw your sticky but it is just equipment, any thoughts on sound reduction products that won't break the bank? I have a 6x10 (or so) room in the basement that is my music room. I am trying to reduce sound to other parts of the house.

Speaking strictly of "sound proofing" and not "acoustics", the 3 fundamentals in order of importance are:
Density
Dead Air
Absorption
You can blanket the piss out of your garage and it will sound quieter within the garage. That's an acoustic property of absorption. Will your neighbors notice the difference all the blankets make? Not a bit because absorption falls low on the priority list of sound proofing. Now if you brick up your garage door with cinder blocks and fill them with sand, that's mucho denser than any garage door, even one that has been weatherized. Dead air space is fairly amazing too. That's how come we can have booth windows in studios.
Acoustics is a whole other ball of wax. It's 2 fundamentals are reflection and absorption, but then you have to consider the environment.... sound source, destination, and sound proofing. A studio room is different from a control room which is different from a rehearsal room which is waaaaaaay different than a theatre. Sound proofing is fairly basic. Acoustics can become as difficult as you could imagine and I really don't know enough about it to be dangerous.
