952 Studios Design Planning
Would love some feedback on treatment design. :thu: My goal for the control room is to have it equal parts critical listening, but also leaving a portion of the room a little lively for acoustic guitars of vocals. It's fine (and doable) to have a CR that serves dual purposes, but that should not ge...

Ive Been Planning This Garage Studio for 10 Years!
Done! I'll stick with regular glass sliders, that's a great help thanks! :thu: Do make sure the sliders you buy have good seals on them! Get the type meant for external patio doors: they usually have better rubber seals on them, to prevent water/wind from getting in. Seals are important for acousti...

Drum room in garage
6249 Do you think having an extra wall facing the wall that I share with the neighbour (and having say a 1" or 2" gap from that wall to the existing wall) would be any benefit? So the new outer room gains another wall of its own rather than using that shared wall. I don't think this would...

6241 What did he do wrong? I'll need to watch it again more closely. Is it the sagging roof he mentioned? OK, here we go. Just a few comments, in roughly the order they came up from a quick overview of the video... Notice that that garage does not seem to be sharing a slab or foundations with a hab...

Drum room in garage
I just tried that in the diagram, and the room wasn't quite wide enough, though I may actually be able to make the room a little wider (except the angled bit). It's all tweakable. Great! Make it as big as you possibly can. Every inch counts. Speaking of SPL meters, do you have one you could recomme...

6237 Here is the latest diagram, for what it is worth Great! Gives a good idea of what it is you have in mind. The angled wall is not an issue. It might even help a little with some types of reflections. Your door could go in either of those two places that you show. I'd suggest using sliding glass...

Converting an attached barn in France
6197 Great, thanks! What would be a good distance for the cavity? I was shooting for something like 30cm, but if I went up to 50cm, would that be worth the loss of space in the room? Maybe another way of asking the same question is: what's the equation to calculate sound isolation related to cavity...

I want light and sound isolation
6198 One issue I've run into is my false ceiling for the outer leaf. ... Here's my question: is there anything I can do to improve this? Don't forget, this is just the outter leaf, the inner leaf will be OSB plus a layer of drywall. Here are a couple things I could imagine: I'm not sure why you wou...

4925 I have come across document ARS-405 which offers a ton of valuable insight into the mathematical terms used in the formulae involved. So sorry I never thanks you for these additional resources! Nearly two years later, but better lat than never, as they say. Excellent stuff! I will, indeed, add...

Drum room in garage
Hi there, and Welcome to the Forum! :thu: :D Congratulations on your dream of having a drum room, albeit small! Unfortunately it is attached to another house, Ouch. So shared walls and roof, and probably shared slab/foundations, implies flanking. In other words, vibration (and therefore sound) has a...

Some Questions - In Progress Garage Conversion
Very much agree with Glenn. Don't mess with electrics unless you are qualified to do so. There might be some things you can do yourself, but you should still do that with the supervision of a qualified electrician. For example, you might be able to to run unpowered wiring yourself, wire plugs, light...

6216 Also, not sure how to calculate the amount of desiccation I need. Anyone know the formula? Depends on what type of desiccant you use! Silica gel seems to be the most common, so I'll assume that's it. For silica gel, I normal use 200 grams per cubic meter of air space in the window cavity. Meas...

I’m thinking about just getting some self adhesive neoprene to put between the inner and outer leaf windows, but I’m open to suggestions. Leave the gap between the windows open, fill it with insulation as much as you can, exposed to the window cavity. then cover it with black fabric. You need that ...

Excellent! Now just lay the insulation by itself, then put the layers of wood & etc. on top.
