    Vapour membrane on outer wall & third-leaf question!

    Hey team, hopefully this gets more traction than my last third-leaf question! I'm adding a vapour membrane to my outer wall, as the current room has some moisture damage. I'm worried that having a small air gap between the membrane and the outer cladding will create a third leaf in my wall...

    Does my roof cavity constitute a third leaf (photos)

    I'm building my studio inside a shed structure. The original owner built an office space with framing and sheetrock inside the shed, as in this crude drawing (blue box = office/studio): I'm wondering now, if the metal roof - above the space above the studio ceiling - will end up acting as a...

    Which brand of resilient clips?

    I'm parting out my build and I see a massive difference in pricing on resilient clips. Based in Australia, but these eBay examples show: 1) Cheap option (Australian no-name brand) 2) SUPER cheap option (Australian no-name brand) 3) Premium option (Pliteq GenieClips) I suspect that you get what...

    First build: Vocal practice and vocal tracking. Which wall isolation type?

    The height is up for debate really! I thought it'd be helpful to open it up beyond the standard 2.4m ceiling that's in there at the moment - to help with reflections and to help the heat rise a little. Does it get hard to calculate modes effectively with the gabled / trapezoid shape? I think I'd...

    First build: Vocal practice and vocal tracking. Which wall isolation type?

    Hey Mack - thanks for that. I'll build insulated inlet and exhaust soffits/boxes at either side of the room - to allow for air exchange as I'll make the room sealed as can be. Probably no budget for AC or heating at this stage (as this studio space is freestanding from the house - along with...

    First build: Vocal practice and vocal tracking. Which wall isolation type?

    Hey all, first post! I've bought a house and am going to convert the previous owner's freestanding art studio into my new sound studio. I'm a vocalist and realistically only ever record vocals at home, maybe the odd instrumentalist in for a session. A bit of mixing/production, but albums will...
