    That’s not what you want for acoustics…

    You’re thinking of sound dampening.

    Like acoustics make things sound good, it’s honestly really complicated and hard to get right.

    Having shit everywhere prevents noise from bouncing off things.

    The confusion is probably because recording booths are sound dampened. That’s not to make the record sound better, it’s to isolate everything else so that the mix can be clean and prevent echos.

    A good echo is literally what people stereotypically look for to gauge the acoustics of a space.

      I guess it partly depends on what all is being hoarded. If by chance it’s piles of clothing, then I guess it would double as pretty decent sound dampening.

      But if it’s a bunch of glass and/or metal stuff, well yeah that wouldn’t work very well at all would it?

      no just dampening, but diffusion, by one million little things, of different sizes, braking down sound into smaller waves

        Yeah, but that’s still not good acoustics…

        And really, all you just did was go into more detail about what dampening does…
