Hey people...
I am planning on soundproofing and "Studio-izing" a section of my basement.
I was just looking over that SAE Site (John Sayers site, I believe), and he has some good stuff on wall construction and so on...
a few questions:
I'm guessing that the Higher the STC (sound transmission class) value, the better... is that correct?
For the flexible channel type of construction, would it be good to mix it with the staggered stud design?
What is this flexible channel? Just a strip of metal with anchor points for sheet-rock? Can I go to home depot and ask the clerks for it?
The room itself will be roughly 12' x 12', not that big but it's only me doing the recording so I don't think it matters too much...
That's all for now, I may be back later to harass you all again.
