I have my recording space/jam room constructed now. I have used double-wall staggered studs with insulation, and I have to admit I am pretty impressed by how well the sound is isolated, huge dampening of volume outside the room.
I will be treating with numerous panels and bass traps to control the sound in the room, but I would still like to cut some more of the sound escaping. I have heard that all air pathways need to be sealed off. Obviously, anywhere there is a light switch or electrical outlet, light fixture, there are large holes in teh drywall. How do you seal tightly around an electrical outlet without fire hazard? Ie, do just caulk around the plate that covers the outlet/switch, or do you caulk around the junction box in the wall before you put the cover on?
Any suggestions? What product to use?
