Soundman2020 - Studio Design Forum

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of either building or buying panels for room treatment, and I'm so lost. I spent literally years researching and building my studio to make it sound isolated (sound proof), but i haven't really done the research for acoustics. What little research I have done, has my ...

Hey everyone, Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Nobody told me that when you have a baby, you lose every fraction of a second of free time you ever thought you had. I have a LOT to go over, and I don't really have the time right now, but I wanted to mark this date as my official "I've finishe...

Wow, this is extremely impressive stuff, Les. Thank you for sharing with such detailed photos. You should make your own youtube channel!

Yeah, a flush trim router bit is an amazing little bit. It really helps keeps those cuts perfectly straight. Glad you found it.

WOW! That looks fantastic!

You may know this already, Gareth, but be careful with laying glass flat like that. When you lift it, make sure you support the whole thing, otherwise you could cause the glass to "snap" if you lift from just the edges causing extra stress to the middle. It should be stored and carried in ...

Arek,

Your room looks fantastic. I hope you get the acoustic results you're aiming for. Your attention to detail is top notch. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Nils, Welcome to the forum. Jennifer's advice is spot on (as usual). The first thing I recommend to people anytime they talk about "soundproofing" is to first figure out how loud your source is actually going to be. No sense in wasting time and money building something that isn't neces...

Lookin great. What will be your final ceiling height once all the layers of drywall are in?

That room is looking fantastic. I love the recessed lights in the clouds. It looks seamless.

How big is your space?

Super chunks look great. What did you do to get such a nice clean front?

3308 The Soundbloc boards cost twice as much as normal 12.5mm ones, and are therefore not usually cost effective. You'd get more mass for the same money from doubling up the normal boards. In this case they made sense though. IR761 demonstrates a significant benefit of two layers of 15mm versus two...

Arek, is there a specific design you're using for your superchunks?

Wow! You've been busy. Looks great so far. Lots of attention to detail. Question about your silencer boxes. Are they not attached to the joists that they're sitting in? It looks like they're sitting on those straps. Or are they attached somehow (that I can't see), and the straps are a secondary supp...

Torx and square head screws are the absolute best. I have come to hate standard philips head screws now. Jennifer, my pocket hole jig came with a LONG square drill bit specifically for the pocket hole screws. I'm surprised yours didn't. Also, I'd recommend getting good quality T20 and T25 bits, and ...

Again, your place is looking great! Mine is going to finally start soon (I'm quite nervous about it although excited at the same time - haha) Keith Thanks. It has taken me way longer and cost me more money than I ever thought. But it's almost done. I'd like to tell you the nerves go away, but I'm 1...
