Hi guys.

I've been reading Rod's book, and I'm thinking about perhaps building an isolation area for vocal recording.

Hi all
I can't find specs for lightweight steel stud load limitations. I've done a bit of searching here and on the web.
Anyone know a rule of thumb?
Can I put 3 layers up safely?
Thanks!

Hi,
I thought before the end of the year that it would be fun to share future personal or studio projects.

Myself, I decided the writing of songs was in order. (after 32 years being a drummer...)
I'm not a very good writer but I think practice won't hurt.
Also it would be nice to have promotion tools for the studio

Let me start by apologizing for the length of this post.

Hey there, Great forum you've got going here - very helpful! I'm a long time lurker, first time poster.

I'm about to embark on fulfilling a lifelong dream of a dedicated studio/music/rock-god-lair m/, I've read Rod Gervais' book - plus other articles...and many threads here so I think I have the fundamentals happening?

Hey everyone, my buddy ask to help him w his home theater. So I figured I'd add a thread to keep all the construction and acoustics related to it in one spot.

My project is just starting. I bought a house and I have a 20' by 17', 16' ceilings garage (which was previously used as a painter studio). The garage is not attached to the house.

OK, have to say this topic scared me as I admit I have been running at this new build with little to no knowledge really. I have a guy coming Monday to start ripping the old sheet rock off. I bought 9 rolls of #1 MLV and some acoustic caulk. Guy from Soundproofing america says it just needs to be put on to studs, caulk applied and sheet rock put back over.

I have just moved into a house and have a fairly large unfinished basement from which to build a project studio. There is no insulation to speak of and everything is just basically framed with no drywall. There is power but I do have an electrician who is able to run power to virtually any location in th basement should the need come up.

Hey all,
