Well done, Phil. Enjoy being creative and noisy!

I am so impressed with your work, Jennifer. Well done!

7166 Im not really getting the high's through edges of the door, but definitely hearing a tremendous amount of upper mids. If I move my ear to the center of the door, it definitely changes to much more of the lows. I think the seals are tight, the jam itself is of inferior construction. I will have...

Woohoo! Congratulations!

Hello George and welcome. 7094 Isolation will come down the road when it's time for things like a live/drum room. You come across as knowledgeable enough but just to make doubly sure you understand that isolation and HVAC need to be in the initial plans before you start building because trying to ad...

Steel sheets (7,850 kg/m3) are simpler and thinner than sand and 3.5 times the density of MLV (2,200 kg/m3). Adding a thin sheet to the jamb side of each door, say 3mm (1/8") would add in the region of 40kg (88lbs) to the mass of each door, subject to your doors' dimensions. Check whether your ...

John Brandt has a PDF where he walks you through making a door. I am not suggesting you start afresh but you may be able to glean something that would help you beef up your existing doors, particularly adding thickness with sand. If you beef up your doors that may reveal the relative weakness of you...

On the wall is an externally mounted socket, into which is...

Hello Stef,

I am thrilled to see your new build, it looks like a good location and well thought through.

Personally, I have never noticed a problem with the PM facility but it is a long time since I used it. I will send you a test PM so that we can discover whether it still works alright.

What level of isolation do you need? In other words, when the CNC machine is operating, how much sound leaks into your studio?

One more question: Are the foundation slabs for these two rooms shared or separate?

7038 ... I'm fairly confident that I'll be able to manage my acoustic treatment plan without it and will be able to hit studs when I need to. I am fairly confident that the ideal placecment and size(s) of your acoustic treatment will not always coincide exactly with your studs. However, you have ha...

That is both impressive and inspiring. Well done and thank you for sharing the desk with us.

7025 Did you have any issue with the off-gassing from the OSB you installed? I had no off-gassing from the OSB or anything other than the rolls of fluffy insulation, so from my perspective I would tend to think that you are being a bit paranoid, but your experience says otherwise. Glenn hit the nai...
