I'm opening a hole in the wall big enough to fit the end of a snake through (XLR ends) and will make plates of either brick, lead, or iron to stop the sound. I need to be able to reopen the panel to add a bigger snake later. You could possibly use multiple runs of normal CAT5 network cable...

Construction Zone It sure does. Things will be messy for a while, but when it's all done a good day or two of organizing should make it look better. :)

That's good to know! I was only hoping it would work out :)

Window The drywall hasn't been cut out yet for the window. We didn't know exactly what size the window was going to be. So.. I bought a sliding glass door. We removed the frame and are just using both double pane insulated glass doors mounted horizontally. This was actually fairly cheap at...

Drywall is up!! http://www.thundercage.com/studio.htm

Close to I71 and I95. 1/2 hour from Columbus.

That looks easy enough to deal with. I'll see if I can find prices. Thanks eveyone.

I appreciate all the help I can get. I have the book 'Sound Studio Construction on a Budget by F. Alton Everest' because I wanted to educate myself on this before building. There is still a lot that the author explains that is obviously on a budget much richer than mine. The live room is 25' x...

The numbers come out pretty good. At 4000 Hz I got .51 and all ther rest were below .5 wihout any treatment. The double studs didn't make sense to do. RC channel elevates the drywall from the studs providing a shock absorber (this is done on the ceiling as well). With this being done on both...

Thanks for the info. Should I even be concerned about the issue with RC channel mounted drywall on both sides of the console room wall, fiberglass insulation, and 5/8'' on one side and 1/2'' on the other?

It's a rock studio. There may not be any problems with the parallel walls. If there is, I'll diffuse the sound. Baffles, 1/4 rounds in corners, 1/2 rounds on walls. Objects placed in the room can defeat parallel walls too. You don't want it completely dead anyway.

It's not the number of parallel walls you have, it's what you do with them that counts. ;)

Hello, Thanks in advance.. I'm having a studio built and I've been reading a decent book on the subject. The book gets very intricate with sound isolation. One thing I have not heard about is electric recepticles. Has anyone mentioned sound leaking through recepticles? If so, what insights does...
