In addition to the bedroom I will be remodeling that I mentioned in
another thread, I am also going to remodel another room to use as a
small recording studio.


What's the best process and materials to sound proof the room? Any
good web sites out there that explains how to do it?


I will also post on a couple of the recording newsgroups too.


Thanks, David


I built a home studion in my previous house. *

What you want to do is isolate the room from the house. *In effect, a
room inside a room. *To simulate this, I used resilient channels to hang
a second layer of drywall offset from the first layer of drywall.

Used acoustic tile above with insulation batting above the tiles.

Last but not least, get a solid door - not a normal hollow slab door.

Looks like if I do that I won't have to strip out the old walls. I
could just go into the installation of the second layer of drywall and
ceiling tiles.

Thanks, David
