Ok I have moved on to doing the control room planning, but I am already hitting a wall (both figuratively and literally) A bit about my design. The sofit faces are 2' 9" wide. They are angled at 35 degrees. My listening position apex is about 6' from the wall (38%) of the room, and my ears are ...

4917 That’s a good idea, but how does it impact isolation? Reducing the air gap reduces the ability to trap the sound, no? With 2x6 outer-leaf studs plus a 1" gap to the inner-leaf, you have 6 1/2" cavity depth. With sufficient mass on both leaves, that can still get you substantial isola...

once you account for the 2x6 outer wall, the 1" air gap, and the 2x4 inner wall, I lose 100ft2 of space. So really, I only have about 400ft2 to work with. ... unless you do the inner walls "inside out"... :) With inside-out walls and ceiling, you don't loose the width of the inner-le...

Stuart, thank you so much for the very thoughtful responses. A few replies and additional questions. That must have been a major heartbreak! Real bummer, of the first order. I'm real sorry to hear that. Many were much worse off than I was. I'm thankful to still have my house! I appreciate the sentim...

What a fantastic response! This is exactly the type of feedback I was hoping for. I will have some responses, but I will hold until part b so I don't ask things you are already preparing to answer.

Thank you!

Wow! Thanks, Stuart. Happy to be in contact again! I made some formatting edits, but looks like it needs approval. Appreciate any and all feedback.

Hello All! Sam here, I was a long time member of the John Sayers (RIP) forum. I received a ton of great advice and guidance from that wonderful group of people when I built my first studio over a decade ago (especially Stuart) I am hoping to get the same value and amazing advice here! A little backg...
