Rod Gervais recommends Nailor grilles because they are low noise. I don't know whether that means all Nailor grilles are or just specific ones.

Jason, I knew there was a picture I had seen over on Gearslutz. I found it in the topic Isolating production rooms from each other? It would be worth reading the entire, short topic as you will get to see that it is Stuart's image and his explanation is so much better than I could have managed. Here...

Sometimes it can help to see things: in the Document Library, IR761 has approximately 20 pages of introduction and then 350 pages of results of different tests. Look at the STC rating (in the table on the left of each page) and how that compares with the transmission loss at different frequencies.

In a word: yes.

Jason, I want to avoid answering your questions directly as Stuart will do that so much better, but I would like to show you some principles that may help. I feel sure you know the basics but something is not quite right in your current plan. First off, I have revised your plan. 3803double.jpg To av...

Hello musictracer. Congratulations aon what looks like a lot of hard work, rearranging your room and making and installing all those traps. Stuart's comments on measurement mics - which one not to buy, which ones he recommends and his caution about USB mics are all here . From your photos I would re...

That was a quick two days; now we are out of materials. Tracks married to the ceiling isolation mounts. https://i.imgur.com/HlGAtW7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/FbnEZdn.jpg The start of three layers of pink fire-rated plasterboard installed over the OSB. We had to stop 3/4 of the way round the room as we...

I had the same problem trying to upload images so I hosted them elsewhere and linked to them. Someone else, possibly endorka, also mentioned the same thing happened.

Thank you, Avare. 1274 The one good thing about coronavirus is that all my gigs until the end of the month have been cancelled so I can instead concentrate all my time and energy on the studio build. I spoke too soon. Slovakia has, quite wisely, gone into lockdown: the borders are closed as are the ...

After a long break we got going this week. Rendering the outside of the studio wall. https://i.imgur.com/kttBxMl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/eFwYKSB.jpg Because the inner room is freestanding it is not as sturdy as the outer wall. To help we added a ceiling isolation hanger - we had one spare - to the o...

That is excellent work on the baffle boxes, Tom.

Does being in the flood plain mean you will have to make sure that you leave as little equipment as possible at a low level in the finished studio?

1202 The salesperson said that there was no difference between operable and fixed in the tests they had done regarding isolation. He said the results were the same, so I went with operable thinking having the option of fresh air might be nice at times. Howie, it is likely that the window company ha...

https://i.imgur.com/iDlrsr1.jpg My garage in The Chiltern Hills is similarly situated into a bank and I have had your problem. As a little bit of water won't hurt in a garage we had to dig a trench between the garage and the earth, up the side and across the back, and then we slottled into that gap...

You will be fine with 8.5" as a little compression won't hurt; in fact, it may help the insulation not to settle (slip down a fraction) over time. I cannot remember the limit off the top of my head but I think it is around 20% compression before the compressed insulation starts to connect the t...

Sorry to hear about the hassles with the GC, howie. Your photos cheered me up, though, they show some great work and good progress.
