Is it a must that you have 2 silencer boxes per run. ex. 8" into silencer-> out of silencer> back to 8" duct> into silencer> into room. Can I get away with 1 rigidly built silencer? Does the length of the duct determine if I should use 2 silencers. (at unit and into room) I believe I am ov...

Thanks for the feedback. I sure wish I could afford an SSL. LOL. Is there a post about how to determine heat/BTUs per piece of analog gear. I have about 30-32 different items in all, that's all electronics added except for bodies, which the most would probably 5. and maybe a lamp or 2. I believe i a...

Met with the HVAC guy today and we are coming up with a plan. Need total BTUs for the control room and one for the live room which should be a little less. What is the best way to come up with the number? Calculation from gear? I need to start designing the silencers. This has to be in before I can ...

Just a thought on the "live" room. Should I build a normal room and treat it or would it be better/easier to stay with the inside out build and bring some life back to it. I feel like if I do the inside out approach, I can treat a couple areas differently to be able to record, say, drums a...

Alright, I got the control room sealed (cracks, corners, knots) and modules are almost finished. I am making sure they fit as I go but I can't go much further until I get the silencers in place. I have 11"x23"x8' available for silencer. I am about to start the calculations for HVAC. I coul...

On the walls I did 2x5/8 drywall type X with green glue. in the Ceiling modules it will be 5/8 OSB and 5/8 drywall with green glue. I am undecided about a few things. 1.) Do I put in a window or use CCtv? 2.) I have a solid core door I plan on hanging and adding 1 5/8 sheet of MDF with GG, What woul...

Here are a few pics.

Thanks for the responses. I definitely agree with the flow of air. Would you consider pulling the heat/air above the desk/gear area? If that would be the approach, would it benefit to spread them apart? 2 exhaust in front, 2 returns in rear for even airflow When I put the silencer in, lets say I onl...

Hey all, I am finally building my studio. I will post some pics later. I was a member of Johns site years ago and of course Stuart was a big influence on my design. Control room size is 16'3"x13'6"x7'10". Live room will be 14x17x7'10". I am in the process of doing inside out cons...
