It's likely your main problem is having 3-leaf walls - you have the outer siding, then insulation, then sheet rock (second mass) then air, then 2 layers of rock (third mass) - that alone will reduce y ...

Only thing I'd modify with that last post is choice of speakers - with that small a woofer, it may not show lower modes as strong as they really are - and one advantage of having speakers reach lower ...

Phil, that's a really cool multi-purpose "cloud-bo" (for lack of a cooler name :=) thanks...

Eric, welcome - I'll make you a deal - first follow the guidelines here

Ben, I doubt you'd see any difference with that small a change - when you're dealing in low frequencies, think in FEET not inches. For example, the 1/4 wavelength of 60 hZ is about 4.7 FEET - that's t ...

Dark, your square room is gonna take some work to even get CLOSE to a "mastering" quality room, in fact I'm afraid to even suggest that it's possible - but here's what I would do to TRY and accomplish ...

Whichever wall the kick drum head is parallel to and closest to, assuming all walls are built similar, will be where the most leakage happens. If you're concerned with sound escaping the house more th ...

Are you far enough along on your build to run any tests on isolation? Right now, as you said, you have a 3-leaf situation in the ceiling - if the attic is vented, it's a bit LESS of a problem, but it' ...

Lenyrds will help some if you already have 'em - if they don't do enough you may want to either get some of Ethan's traps there, or DIY some frames and thick MW or fiberglass. Parallel isn't necessary ...

I'm with Remy on this one - IMO, one of the biggest reasons for all the "bad-mouthing" of the "all-in-one" stomp boxes for recording electric guitar is this lack of acoustic coupling between speaker a ...

Without knowing exactly how your building is built, it's nearly impossible to know how much flanking/leakage will get to the lower floor - construction-wise, I don't see a reason why what you suggest ...

Not enough info for even a wild guess - things that affect frequency of a panel resonator are the weight of the resonator panel and the depth of the box - the amount of fill affects the width of the a ...

Zero International generally sells usable stuff, unlike soundproofing.org - but you linked to their entire site. Which product for which purpose were you looking at? Steve

Thomas, first you need to re-read this

http://www.recording.org/ftopict-36851.html

and use ALL the bold points as your checklist - Remember, neither Rod nor I will rag on you for providing TOO M ...

No prob; I think it's good to remind us from time to time NOT to trust "normal" contractors to know what we need... Steve

Jon, welcome; couple of problems with your well-meant suggestion -

One, I just checked and that was BobS's last post, almost exactly 2 years ago - he's either in the looney bin from his crazy cook ...
