I like a few of the guys at Jonspeed, and other people I know swear by them, but personally - I've had a couple of experiences that mean I wont be going back again.

first proper step tomorrow, doing the sound proofing. got 60ft of eDead Original², think that should be enough to do it all.
i hope so, as its not cheap!

will post pics 2mrw.

It would be nice to know how much sound proofing is needed to do a mini! Thinking of doing mine soon :)
