Thanks for watching

Sure I would be happy to do a video on vocal recording using both a booth and how to treat your room.

Glad you enjoyed it

@@soundproofyourstudio yup was on point🙏🏽

You are very welcome. The HVAC and your air exchange systems are also weak links. Next week I will make a video on what I used for an HVAC system.

Thanks for watching

The glass weight matters as does the type of glass. This would be tow thin float glass windows, which would not stop sound

Hey Ryan! Great question. So what you just described is certainly a great direction to go. The all or nothing really means you can't put in the hat channel walls and 2 layers of drywall with green glue, but then put in regular windows and doors and expect the room to be soundproof. So I think I would do what you just said, but if you do install windows make sure to make them as soundproof as your walls. So if your wall has an STC of 50 then the goal is to make the doors and windows also have an STC of 50. Hope that helps. The key is consistency.

I would just use drywall screws. You would be screwing into the floor base above which is usually plywood.

@@soundproofyourstudio is that how Rod describes the process in his book? What if there is no access from underneath

@@abstractmedia8949 If there is no access underneath then you need to add mass from above. I will make a video eventually with another way to soundproof a floor.

Great question john. No sound will get in. What I did is we had soffits around both sides of the building. We did have a ridge vent at the peak of the roof. I used plastic rafter vents behind my insulation to allow the roof to "breathe." Here is a link to what we used: www.homedepot.com/p/ADO-Products-14-in-x-48-in-Rafter-Vent-10-Per-Carton-UPV1448010/202541345?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&&mtc=Shopping-B-F_D22-G-D22-022_004_INSULATION-NA-NA-Feed-SMART-NA-NA-New_Engen&cm_mmc=Shopping-B-F_D22-G-D22-022_004_INSULATION-NA-NA-Feed-SMART-NA-NA-New_Engen-71700000076017798-58700006490415250-92700066966870867&gclid=Cj0KCQiAys2MBhDOARIsAFf1D1dfJ6pmzVd_h0CUWVld48053ZCSC1xHkEjGHd52g7AmzoercR82ohkaAhrIEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds. Then we did a hat channel system on the roof with two layers of drywall and there is no leakage of sound what so ever. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Really thick stone is great for soundproofing and could be good for sound too. You just need to acoustically treat the room to reduce all the reflections in there.

Yeah! It is totally doable. Keep motivated and make it happen:)

Awesome!

Standard, pay attention to the mass

Thanks for the info. I read Rod’s book twice, some sections more. You’re so right…indispensable reading. He recommends RC-2 instead of hat channels. The issue I’m struggling with in starting to build a free-standing room within a room is this: If the two roofs can’t touch, and I assume they shouldn’t, how do you stop the sound that is impacting the outer roof from leaking into the space between the two rooms? I plan a 4” space because it didn’t cost much more and I have the room to build.

Not sure I understand the question

@@soundproofyourstudio to use less materials, could you do it very small just for a chair or would it affect how effective it is?

You want to use regular pink insulation. The insulation is for keeping heat and cold air in it doesn't have much to do with the soundproofing process. I used R30 on all my walls and ceiling because all of the walls are barriers to the outside. If you have interior walls than you can use lower R-value insulation.

@@soundproofyourstudio so it does work, John Brandt's videos say the same but there are so many people say otherwise, that i have to use rockwool.

Thanks!
