Not necessarily. I lost when I deadened my floor and I've talked to other veteran competitors who have added deadening and lost.I'm sure that if I did some sound deadening that it would help a bit
I spent about a year at 159.7 (mainly waiting for softparts).I would like to be in the 149's for some reason. 148.9 is such a tease.
Did you read that thread over at SMD forum? That bloke there tested a LOT of things that effected his score. Do not assume something that didn't help him won't help you, or vice versa. Test everything and then attempt to verify some change works consistently and wasn't just a fluke reading one time. No reason you can't find another 1dB from **** that doesn't require you spending money on equipment from where you're sitting.
