Ok we are almost completely done with the new studio, I freakin excited (keeping it clean for the kids)we had to have talked with close to 50 different people on whats the best way to soundproof the walls and ceiling. We went with the blow in insulation known as cellulose. We blew it in and packed it good. after we were done we went upstairs and yelled at the top of our lungs and could hear nothing, we started banging on my snare drum and it sounded like a faint whisper. we managed to do a 12 X 12 and a 10 X 12 room all for aboout 250.00 money well spent if you ask me.

Sep 28, 2004 05:47 am Congratulations! That is no small feat!
I found the best way to tune a room: 300 or so people! I went and rang out church last night where we will be using the alter as a stage for recording. The area is huge but the critical distance with the seating area empty is tiny! One huge echo / resonance chamber!. I know filled to capacity the accoustics are great, but empty...Yuch!
