Working on a home-built sound booth. What's in place now is basically a room built inside a room. Sheet-rock on both sides of 2x4's with fiberglass insulation between. Access door which is constructed just like the rest of it. Air vents on opposite walls which are an inside air slot at the top going into the top of a frame of 2x4's with staggered holes in the horizontal members, exiting to a slot on the exterior with a small quiet air filter unit outside drawing air through via ducting. No floating floor. It's sitting on carpet with standard carpet pad and concrete block slab under that.
I have the inside covered with Corning acoustic panels attached to the sheet rock which cuts down on reflections quite a bit but what do you recommend to go over this acoustic panel? Internal dimensions are currently about 6' wide x 6'6" wide x 6'6" high with the acoustic panels. I really only anticipate recording vocal and guitar in it.
I read that rigid fiberglass is good at absorbing frequencies down to about 500hz, 250 if it's thicker. Should it just be applied over the existing interior? Should the entire interior surface be covered or is that not necessary?
What about Auralex or similar acoustic foam, how should that be incorporated with the rigid fiberglass? Again, does the whole interior surface need to be covered or is staggered partial coverage enough?
Thanks for all input..
