Hi guys, I've been lurking for a while now but it's time to get out of the shadows and ask a question
I am getting some nice studio monitors in a couple weeks, and am going to need some soundproofing. I've attached a rough layout of the room below.
It is a townhouse, so I own it, and can mess around with it more than renters could. From what I can tell without cutting holes is that it is wooden studs, with just plain ol drywall.
There are two shared walls which I have to worry about.
I went over to the neighbors place the other day (the one on the opposite side of the closet), and got him to listen while I cranked my existing speakers. He couldn't hear a lot of the mid/high range, but could really hear the sub. Im guessing that anywhere from < 300Hz is going through the walls.
I'm not sure how I want to lay out the 'studio' with my existing gear (keyboard,sampler & monitors), but I thought I'd see if anyone here had soundproofing advice for the room first of all.
Thanks guys,
Tim
BTW I would like it to be as painless as possible on my wallet
