xSpace, 26 September 2010Hi Greg. "I'm instilling the 'Room within a Room" approach with both the Control Room, and Iso/ Vocal booth." You mean installing, right? To my point, the only actual…
audiofile88, 27 September 2010Thanks for the quick responses guys. I've looked over John's corner control room design and have adopted the layout with the allotted floor space of the garage. Here's…

audiofile88, 6 October 2010Hey Guys, As of late I've been working on developing the overall plans to present to my contractor. Using both Rod's book and John's site, I've drawn up an Isolated…
Soundman2020, 6 October 20102 points: First, you are showing that your air gap for the walls is only 3 inches: you should have at least 4 inches if you want decent isolation. Dropping down to 3"…
