I am looking for someone to design a sound isolation booth for me. I have no design or construction experience, but have done some research on how the booth should be built.
I want the booth to have a 4' x 6' interior (or something similar) and a 6' exterior. It cannot be too high as it will be in a basement with a low ceiling. I am thinking of a booth with:
* a double stud wall made from 2x4's with fiberglass insulation
* three layers of 5/8" drywall on the exterior and interior walls and ceiling with green glue between layers
* a separate joist system for the ceiling
* two communicating doors
* a ventilation system
* a cable outlet somewhere
I am not sure how the floor should be designed, but I want the booth to have a room within a room design. I do not really have a budget limit, but am looking for a cost effective solution that maximizes sound isolation.
Thanks

I'd suggest you use the "search" feature. I seem to recall several threads dealing with booths such as yours.
I am not asking for a free design of course. I will pay a reasonable amount for a good one.
Can you recommend someone who would be able and willing to do the booth design for me?
I'd suggest that you contact John directly for that. He's the owner of this forum, and that's what he does for a living: he designs and builds studios, big and small.
Use the "contact" button on his home page to e-mail him, or PM him from his profile.

At the end of a long and tedious day, you might be better served with a Whisper Room or one of the other knock-down vocal booths. What you are suggesting is thousands (X) of dollars and a bunch (X) of additional weight on the structure with not much added return. It's a lot like re-inventing the wheel from where I sit. But I am under employed, so re-inventing is always on my mind...I am not asking for a free design of course. I will pay a reasonable amount for a good one.
