Appreciate the pats on the back guys. I am dreading the treatment process, time and $$, time and $$.

Just another "wow looks good" post. I said back on page 1 that I have a basement that's a future project. So far I have achieved nothing but rolling out some free remnant carpet. 
I'm jealous. Looks great.

Packing drywall
Okay. Here it is, the finishing touches. Fitz, I hope you read this and respond. It is coming down to the audio booths, and I have left them unfinished for a reason. I am considering packing drywall in between the studs, and finishing them by doubling the drywall (the walls themselves). The reason for doing this is to add mass, as another member suggested I do. The questions are:
#1: Do I need to place a couple of layers in between the studs against the exterior wall, and finish with regular fiberglass insulation? .....or
#2: Pack drywall as tight as I can and forget the rigid pink stuff?
Oh, I have great news - yes I am tickled pink.... It rained the other day while I was working inside the building, and I DID NOT HEAR IT. Seems we padded the ceilng pretty good... THanks everyone!

Nice progress. I noticed you have the same A/C unit I have. It's a bit noisy. I've got an idea for quieting it down, but it won't work when I'm tracking. That'll be my next project.
Maybe you've already seen my thread:

Have fun, the accomplishment of finishing feels great.

Yeah, that really stinks about the whole window unit thing. I woud love to have central, and I may still if I can find a reasonable unit and I run the ductwork myself.

Here I is.
Yes, and if you only used one layer of drywall on the control room side of the partition, you could do it there as well. REMEMBER TO CAULK AROUND ALL THE JOINTS.
I would even use two layers on the ceiling too....and what about the floor?
Couple of other things. What are you using for the door/Jamb? I would do this(see below, but it doesn't show the seals yet...no time right now.
Look at these for seals.

Thanks Fitz- hey how does it feel to be needed and wanted I appreciate the response. That is what I will do then, that was where I was leaning because i thought packing it completely with drywall would not make for a good insulation value. As far as the control room side, it is double drywalled on BOTH sides- with the interior wall insulated.
I cannot tell you how excited I am about this project. Although if you look at the first post on 2/8/09, I thought I would have it done in a month. Boy was I wrong!!!
Also, due to the close proximity of the walls, I am considering implementing the pvc pipe and moving blanket thing to help with the whole comb filtering deal, as I am sure that will be an issue. Hey Fitz, what do you think about that moving blanket thing? I know the guy has been faithful to post and reply concerning the setup- hey- he may even reply to this thread! At this point i need to improvise on this du eto my lack of research b4 putting it together. At some point- I will add on to the unit and expand it and it will be on a concrete slab- guranteed. hindsight is alwas 2020 so i wont say what i think at this point.
you mentioned the floors, i will be installing 9" insulation underneath the building between the joists (? is that what they're called) - and it looks like that will be the best I can do at this point.
c-ya!

Almost Done!
Howdy folks- well, the control room is complete and we are gathering materials for the booths today. I have no idea when they will be completed, but hopefully within a month. When you run out of money, you got to put things on hold! Thanks to our sweet bonus at my day job, I can finally complete this thing ONCE AND FOR ALL! I'll post some pics of what we have done, and get you all some before pics of the little closet I call an audio booth.
BTW Fitz, do you have any last minute suggestions on what I can do to the booth before we go at it? We doubled the drywall on the control room side, and are doubling the drywall all the way around on the inside of the booth. We are putting another piece of plywood over the existing plywood subfloor to add more mass, possibly use OSB, and will be putting carpet on the floor and the walls when it is completed to help quite things down (there is not much room inside). Drywall is packed in between the studs like you suggested. Underneath the building (if you remember it is one of those not-so portable buildings) we installed faced rigid fiberglass in between the floor joists, and even are going with the solid door like you suggested leading into the booth. The only thing I decided to do differently than my original plan was instead of having TWO 6 x 8 rooms, I decided to leave it all open for a 6 x 16 room. If I had it to do over again, I would have made it wider, but whats done is done... Finally, we are adding two sheets of 3/8 glass at dimensions 3' x 8', one being offset on the inner side (angle) Any new suggestions will be greatly appreciated, and I will post pics in a couple days on our progress!

These are just for kicks...
