That's great news, Jennifer! Looks they did a pretty good job too, with the installation. And I'm really glad it worked out well for you! Those films are pretty good, aren't they? Glad I thought to mention them, way back when... So, this brings up the question: What's next for your amazing studio? I...

Garden Recording/Mixing Room in Surrey, UK - Build Diary
I'm really concerned about this photo: holes-cut-in-beam.jpg Those holes seem to be way too large, and in the wrong place, for structural integrity. You can cut holes in structural (load-bearing) beams and joists, yes, but they have to be done within certain limitations in order to not compromise th...

6158 I was going to ask about the other benefits of an insulated cavity beside sound transmission Well, it does also help to keep you warm in winter! :lol: (And cool in summer). Jokes aside, that's another big benefit to completely filling a large cavity with insulation: thermal insulation. So you ...

Rehersal/Recording room design
Insulation in the cavity does several things at once. - It damps resonance of the cavity itself, specifically standing waves. Standing waves can rob you of a considerable amount of isolation. - It damps the resonance of the MSM system itself: Without that damping, you lose considerable isolation. (S...

Hi Gab! Welcome to the forum! :thu: :) Glenn beat me to it by a couple of minutes!

That's great stuff! Very useful for understanding where you are, and what you are trying to do. That room looked really nice, but from the treatment visible in the photo, I can see why you needed to make it better! :shock: That room must have been rather unbalanced, and tiring to mix in... Now, sinc...

6130 Why decoupling the outer wall from the inner frame? They will touch each other at some points (desk, cables etc.). Actually, they cannot touch each other! That's the point of an MSM system ("room-in-a-room"). The inner "room" is completely decoupled form the outer "roo...

6122 Build the inner walls straight on the concrete? Or maybe create a little 'floating'? (Glenn's Drum Riser concept) If you are wanting to build your walls on top of the floating floor, then you'd need something more substantial that Glenn's riser concept. That would be too much weight on the ins...

OK, now I understand. It's not your actual concrete slab studio floor that is resonating, but rather the light-weight wood assembly sitting on top of it. That's quite common. It happens all the time to first-time studio builders. Any time you put a thin, flexible sheet of material (such as OSB) over...

6113 The floor is concrete and the floor is resonation as F# So your floor is a concrete slab, but it is resonating? What is under the slab? Is there another room down there, or is it laid directly on the ground? How did you determine that the concrete is resonating? because the drywall is not glue...

Careful there! Your diagram shows you using ordinary duct going through the two leaves to join the two silencer boxes. There's a section of bare duct in both cases, between the leaf itself and the silencer box. There's very little mass in a duct wall, as compared to the silencer walls, so you'll los...

Yup. That's only very slight compression: not gonna cause any flanking. That would work fine.gullfo wrote:Qr Bbpost you might even put a layer of the rockwool into that air space. you have 8-3/4" air, and 9" of rockwool.
