Isolation
- Resistance to the transmission of sound by materials and structures. The separation of airborne or mechanically transmitted energy.

Impact Isolation Class (IIC) - A system for rating the ability of a structure to isolate impact noise (i.e. footsteps, and other vibrational disturbances). Normally used in reference to floor and ceiling constructions, the IIC method utilizes whole positive numbers for rating purposes.

I'd like to make a spare room in my house suitable for recording spoken dialogue.

The three problems I see are:

- separating recording equipment/activity from performance
- the room is basically square (23'x23')
- there is a huge sawmill near my house.

I am having a back garden practice/recording cabin built. Structure will be (from outside to inside)

Concrete base with DPM
timber frame (total area 4x5m)
OSB with 18 mm shiplap cladding
4x2in wooden studs
100mm RW3
2 layers of 15mm acoustic plasterboard.

Roof
OSB covered with EPDM

Hey all,

Found this on YouTube and thought it might be of interest to people here.

I like how you can hear them, just before they sing, trying to find their notes.. lol.. I though, "hey! I've done that!"

I'm interested to hear how you guys pull out the mono stuff from a stereo track.

Hi guys.

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

Dear all,

This is my first post. Thank you all so much for an invaluable resource! I have read the rules, searched for a similar post but nothing was quite like I was looking for so here it is!

Hi Guys,

I usually work from home, and sometimes I have my children around, I normally do a lot of videoconferences and the sound of the children playing, etc totally interferes with that...
