Alright I'm looking to build a home recording studio in the future and I was wondering if anybody had a suggestion for what I should use to soundproof that room? I was thinking foam pads or something like that but I want to know if anybody here has any suggestions because I'm open to try anything new and hear opinions.

Foam pads are usually pretty good. Just remember you need to do the whole room, walls and ceiling, and definitely the door as well. I had to do it for my old basement and it worked pretty well. Good luck!

Okay yeah I was thinking about trying a couple of things with the recording studio I want to build. Thanks for your advice all I really have is ideas right now not really any solid information yet.

there's this foam padding used for beds with bumps on one side that looks like the inside of an egg carton - use that so soundproof, and keep the bumps on the inside - it's good for acustics

Yeah I've seen that style of setting up recording rooms a couple of times and if I couldn't think of anything else I'm going to use that kind of foam padding. That style would also probably be the cheapest way but I'm really trying to make this recording studio a piece or art.
