The roof space underneath your tiles/slates was always a draughty place as the wind blew in around the gaps between tiles/slates. So any water or condensation which got there could easily disperse and go away. Seal the roof with foam or other then you create a problem.

The only insulation you can put in there is a granular type but from the top onto an installed basement ceiling. The other way is small pieces of thermal fibreglass insulation stuffed in off a step ladder which will take you forever. Even then it is thermal insulation and not acoustic...

As usual.

As Dave says above. If you havent your studio room/rooms sorted out yet, you are way ahead of yourself and wasting time and energy on the wrong thoughts. You cant fit out the home with furniture before you have built the house.

Hanging duvets to cover as much wall as possible worked wonders.

:unsure: When the room causes problems with the mic sound, then I have no choice and that was with 3 different mics.

You are hitting all the nails on the head with 100% accuracy. I could build the studio but for the insides I came here for info. Yes I expected magic from RW3. I lined the inside of the sound booth with acoustic foam tiles. I think 250 of them. Then I inserted bass traps in each corner then...

Thats a simple one. I came here and read the posts on which acoustic insulation to use available in my country. :unsure: I have since found out that companies that deal in acoustic treatments use a variety of other materials and methods to treat room acoustics. Even foam which is scorned on...

Ok and I am not disagreeing, but I have used normal household insulation and Rockwool RW3 acoustic. The acoustic is made differently and denser. They also say that household insulation shouldnt be compacted otherwise it loses its insulating qualities. But are you saying if we get household...

Would this apply to the normal house insulation as well? Meaning that normal house insulation at a certain thickness is just as efficient if not more? Or am I misunderstanding this?

If you are trying to 'stop' sound you have a good point. But lining the hard surfaces even with thin whatever can help the reflected internal sound. Nothing is perfect or foolproof. If there are sound/acoustic benefits with polyester over fiberglass/rockwool, then go with it. Health wise I...

Very true and there are strong links to some plastics and cancers. Other chemicals in tyres for example which are also made of kinds of plastic, are known to cause organ problems. But then as I said at the beginning.............Watch out for that bus!!!!

No the eco wool we stuck in the house years before.

We live and learn to our cost. When I did studio I put 10" of mineral wool in the walls. Tried and tested. I wore a mask and chuck away overalls and old clothes. But it works! The rolls of recycled polyester I never entertained using or buying more.

About almost 20 years ago they bought out this recycled plastic bottle insulation called eco-wool. A fleece type of rolled out insulation. The company dont appear to sell it anymore. Dunno. Other people sell similar or same product.

Now that is different than the stuff I purchased for house insulation.

Its ok for house insulation but it has no sound deadening qualities. But thats not me in the link I gave you.
