Ceiling Issues

[Todzilla]

My builder is finishing the roof on my studio. He will leave it to me to finish it from the inside. A particular challenge is that the roof will be the weakest link so far. The walls are sand-filled cinderblocks with stucco on inside and outside, the windows are four pane fixed windows. The floor is over-joisted plywood with extra footings.

So, the ceilings need to be sound proofed and nice sounding. My inclination is to put some sort of insulation between the 2X6 joists, then put a couple of layers of thick sheetrock overtop that, lastly put wood planking on top, to give a very nice look and to impart some warmth.

Is there any issue with the hard angles of the ceiling lines?

I am very into big ceilings and open space, both acoustically and visually.

It would be my recommendation to leave the joisted space open, and soundproof the eaves of the building.

I'm sure others will disagree with this mentality, but I've seen it before and liked it both acoustically and visually.

In this case, soundproofing the upper ceiling (loft space) should be done as if its a wall within the structure - MDF, foam, sheet rock, vapor barriers, etc.
