One2one2, 5 August 2008Hello First post in a while and on with another project. I am planning the new build of a media company, audio post production, recording studio and a training facility…
One2one2, 6 August 2008Hi Need 2 office's as one office is for a music licenensing and management company, that is working alongside us. It may be possible to sacrifice an office though if…
One2one2, 14 August 2008That's brilliant John, I can't thank you enough for your efforts. It really has helped my headache on working out this floor plan! I'm actually a fellow Ozy, from Perth…
One2one2, 19 August 2008Hello Right, after a lot more deliberation and hair pulling, I'm quite happy the latest layout (around a bout anyway) not so happy with spiralling price of this…
One2one2, 22 March 2009Hello again, hope the new year is treating everyone well! Been about 7 months since posting this original design, and finally the building purchase is nearly at…
Soundman2020, 23 March 2009Second floor? That raises several issues: What is below you, and how much isolation do you need between you and "them"? Have you thought about how to obtain that level…
One2one2, 23 March 2009I haven't used any ratio's yet, it was a just rough draft, I simply re-scaled the control rooms to fit the space. Hi Soundman There is nearly 2 foot of concrete between…
One2one2, 23 March 2009Hello again Just quickly put another floor idea down, combined the vocal booth with the live room and it has freed up more space for chill out area and the ability to…
One2one2, 17 September 2010Hi People Ok it's been a long time, days, months, years slip by- but finally we are ready to do this build. Things have changed a bit though. We now are only having 1…
One2one2, 17 September 2010Just encase you can't read the measurements on the attached picture, they are: Control Room - 4050mm x 3050mm Live Room - 5350mm x 4360mm These are the inside…
Soundman2020, 17 September 2010What he says about modal spacing is kind of OK, but there are some things in there that are "unusual"... I'd hardly call ratios and absorption "fudges", although I…

xSpace, 18 September 2010My own personal thinking is that the framing could be done in a more firmly connected manner then being recommended. There is a chance that a ten foot span could be…
One2one2, 4 October 2010Hi guys Apologies on the delay, been swamped with work and been trying to get hold of the designer - but he has been away and cannot get hold of him yet??? Thanks for…
One2one2, 7 October 2010Thanks Gulfo That could have worked if we hadn't converted the basement (our existing storage - to another level of the store) Basically we are an audio equipment store,…
One2one2, 7 October 2010Hi Thanks for the input xspace - but will need access into the training room. Those stairs come up from under the training room from downstairs - well there not in at…
One2one2, 7 October 2010Hi Thanks Gullfo It is to bad, in the future I think we may turn the store room into another conrtol room - it can then face onto and share the live room as well. He's…
One2one2, 9 October 2010Thanks Glenn Going to go with your design. Could you put the measurements on the design, Length, Width, Height. Also the width of the walls. What wall material and…
Soundman2020, 10 October 2010Not necessarily! You only need to loose a few cm, if you plan carefully. You can interleave your ceiling joists with those concrete beams, such that the actual ceiling…
One2one2, 10 October 2010Hi Gullfo / Soundman I'm going to go back down to the shop shortly and just re-measure - as this plan I did was measured and made well over 2 years ago. So just want to…
One2one2, 11 October 2010Hi Gullfo Attached is a new floor space with exact measurements! The single stud wall on the left (west) is the wall of the storage room; it is a standard single wall…
gullfo, 17 October 2010here's round 1. it's basically got 9-0' high ceilings with the supporting 2x12 ceiling joists interlaced with the concrete supports. ratio of the CR is about…
One2one2, 18 October 2010Wow, thanks Gullfo! That really helps to visualise it - and invaluable for the contractors. Question regarding the wall contruction? I'm assuming we are going for 2 x…
One2one2, 18 October 2010Ok, cool - so (west wall) take those 2 boards that are on off - insulate the inside, put a 16mm board up, mud an caulk, add second layer 16mm, mud and caulk. 2" Air Gap,…
One2one2, 18 October 2010I'm sorry Gullfo Thats totally confused me! To give me a high STC that I will need - I thought I would need at least the following around all walls - 2 layers of 16mm…
Soundman2020, 18 October 2010Wherever you have a concrete wall, that is already your outer leaf: You only need to add your studs and 2 layers of 16mm drywall there. If you were to add a SECOND set…

One2one2, 18 October 2010Ok, thanks So please confirm I've got this basic understanding correct Corridor and Rear CR wall: - 2 layers of 16mm drywall - studs (insulated) - 2" Air Gap - studs…
gullfo, 18 October 2010the ceiling is on joists supported by the inner isolation walls. the ceiling is (from inside to outside) 2x 16mm, joists 1 layer of 100mm rigid insulation then fill with…
One2one2, 19 October 2010Ok, thanks. What about using green glue between the layers? Also It's pretty difficult to add a second layer in the storage room - as the inside of the store room has…
Soundman2020, 19 October 2010No it would not create a third leaf, and that is exactly what Glenn is referring to. This is what is called "beefing up". It means that you carefully cut strips of…
One2one2, 19 October 2010Great! Well thats what thought I could do, cut strips of board to fit in the stud and put cleats in, but glenns comments about this wall earlier on threw me a bit cool,…
Soundman2020, 19 October 2010Yup! What Glenn was saying is to not put drywall on the side of the studs facing towards the room! That is what would create your third leaf. Technically, a "leaf" is…
One2one2, 19 October 201001) Yes concrete, about 1 and a half foot thick 2) We have a audio equipment store below us, (that we own) music and noise playing throughout the day, people demoing…
Soundman2020, 19 October 2010Well, you could , but you'd need an awful lot of drywall to make any difference! IIRC concrete is about 3 times more dense than drywall, so assuming that your wall is…
One2one2, 20 October 2010Thanks, will decide shortly - but leaning towards just building risers if we need to at a later date. What about acoustic board underlay under the laminate that must…
One2one2, 20 October 2010Yeah! That's an idea. Was concerned about the loss of the height though, especially if we did the CR as well? Thanks will do, just wanted to confirm my suspicions that…
One2one2, 24 October 2010Hi guys For the last few days a have been planning out the electrical, lighting, HVAC / ventilation and silencers side of the install - will post the plans shortly. One…
One2one2, 24 October 2010Thanks, gave me an idea of having an electric lift mount - like in bedrooms - were the TV pops up from the end of the bed in a cabinet of sorts. When looking for that I…
One2one2, 24 October 2010Yeah the ascending vision ones can be wall or ceiling mounted as well, so it could be lowered. If I lowered it - the cloud would have to be shorter - how would that…

One2one2, 4 November 2010Hi Glenn Question please? In the hallway along the Live and CR, we will need to drop the ceiling to run ducting, power cables etc etc. How should we join the ceiling to…
One2one2, 5 November 2010Hi Glenn Sorry but I mean we need to run power from the front of the building, through to kitchen/toilet/office/storage room at the rear of the building + ducting from…
One2one2, 6 November 2010Suspened ceiling with tiles, yes I suppose that's a possible solution. I really don't like the look of ceiling tiles though - but can live with. At the rear of the…
One2one2, 7 November 2010Ok, thanks - think I have found some 150mm RW3 for the 2x6 frames though. Can I also fill the air gap with Pink stuff or have I read that wrong somewhere? Will fill the…
One2one2, 5 January 2011Hi guys Was a pretty hectic end of year - not had any time to work on this since November. We are planning on getting all the framing done shortly - still need to…
gullfo, 6 January 2011interesting. it would be interesting to see the entire conversation you had and the set of plans you received but of course it's your property so you'd probably want to…
Soundman2020, 2 March 2011Wow. Pity I missed this when it was going down! Looks like it was interesting :) Yup, it sure is! :) The comments on room ratios are curious, to say the least! Who cares…
One2one2, 9 September 2011Hi All Hope all is well – well nothing regarding the build of this actually got off the ground here, one thing after another - I’m sure a lot of you know what it's like…
