Subj: [DR-L] On rehearsal room acoustics...
Date: Sun, 09 Jul 2006 06:41:10 -0400

Hi Esther:
Yours is an important query which reminds me of the IDRS conference at
Greensboro,NC where we encountered one fantastic practice room with a
computerized device which converted it into anything from a small studio to
the equivalent of Carnegie Hall.The prices at that time for this room was
terribly expensive .Wondering if this magical device has come down in price
since then?
On a more-economical scale,recall persons experimenting with empy egg
cartons, curtains,carpets,etc

Best wishes and good luck ,
