Bricks or gyprock?

Also, Is having an almost perfect square room bad sonically?? Yes. Worse for a control room, but also not ideal for a tracking room. I had a 10'x10' tracking room for a bit and I could never treat it enough to solve the issues. Id recommend building a closet or small iso booth into a corner or some...

6741 yes, that would work.consider building across the front another unit for absorption there leaving a few feet for the AC unit. depending o nthe room modes, that front unit could become a membrane trap. meanwhile it will help with reflections off the front of the desk - which is why your lower p...

So now that I have been insprired by Endorka , would something like this work for soffits? Ive already painted myself into a corner with my windows, but Im hoping that I can get away with a design like this... 30º angled speakers, the green area is the 32-44% listening position. My speakers are setu...

I have been going back and forth on soffit mounting my speakers in my own build, I think you are really making me realize its a must. Well done, this looks fantastic.

6735 if you cannot use backer rod and caulk, then a proper rubber flashing tape should be ok as the new layers of drywall should secure the edges even if somehow adhesion is lost. then the usual backer rod and caulk for the drywall. Thanks! This will make that job a ton easier. 6735 you could add c...

Hi all, for the 1/2" plywood layer on the inner leaf which serves as my base layer, what are your thoughts on using something like flashing tape to seal the seams instead of caulk? I'm finding that a lot of the gaps are going to be pretty difficult to seal as they are wide with nothing behind t...

952 Studios Design Planning

Hi All, Just looking for some feedback on my soffit and silencer designs. Basically looking for guidance on a few things: 1. is it ok to pack the soffit like this and just have an area with no absorption where the silencer lives? 2. In terms of positioning in the room, is symmetry important for wher...

Question on the last layer of drywall. Do I caulk any gaps before mud or is mud enough without caulking on the finish layer?

Ive Been Planning This Garage Studio for 10 Years!

I would like to pile on here. From Rod's book, it states that there is little gain/loss from building the studios windows completely isolated from each other and that its OK to have one frame with a double window assembly. In this case, the window is a sealed box, does that still need desiccant? I w...

6216 Also, not sure how to calculate the amount of desiccation I need. Anyone know the formula? Depends on what type of desiccant you use! Silica gel seems to be the most common, so I'll assume that's it. For silica gel, I normal use 200 grams per cubic meter of air space in the window cavity. Meas...

Here are some initial comments on your post: 1) As shown in the diagram I have to deal with a residential electrical panel...
