sound proofing

I WENT TO HOME DEPOT AND ASKED FOR SOUND PROOFING BOARDS THEY'RE 4'X8 AND ARE MADE OF A BROWN FIBER MATERIAL, EASY TO CUT WITH A RAZOR BLADE. dRY-WALLED THE WALLS, APPLIED THE FIBER BOARD THEN PUT ACOUSTIC FOAM IN THE ENTIRE ROOM. THIS WILL INDEED GIVE YOU A DEAD ROOM BUT WILL NOT COMPLETLY CUT BASS OVERTONES FROM BLEEDING BUT MAKES A GREAT BOOTH, ALSO REMEMBER TO USE DOUBLE DOORS OR AN INSOLATED DOOR. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by djsimpso:

That fiber board stuff does work wonders. Imagine my surprise when I discovered it was the material used by the previos owners of my home to finish the attic (where my studio was destined to be anyway!).
 
BigKanuna- That link was great, got any more lying around? It seems that all info I can find are lenghty textual descriptions on how someone built their studio but never any general guidelines with schematics and drawings.

Thanks

The soundboard and acoustic foam work great but you also need to create air spaces inbetween, also layer with fiberglass insulation and seal the seams
