Hashbrown, 2 July 2004This thread is intended to go along with my design thread here.. My design I'm going to have a lot of questions (and hopefully answers for others in the future), but…
Hashbrown, 2 July 2004Thanks for the tips Andrew, and more importantly just taking time to reply! I hadn't considered having the ceiling on first, didn't know if I could rely on the RC to…
Hashbrown, 3 July 2004Great, I got the picture now on the wall-ceiling connection. I think I have a picture of that play mat stuff in my head. I know what that pipe insulation is, damn I just…
Hashbrown, 3 July 2004Ah precision, yes this sounds like the type of job I can let my dad help with. He's a major "corner-cutter" so I'm not letting him near most of this project. I can see…
knightfly, 5 July 2004Check your local yellow pages under commercial drywall and insulation contractors/suppliers for the real acoustic caulk, it comes in 29 oz tubes instead of 10 0z, and…
Hashbrown, 5 July 2004Wow, that's a much better price than the quiet solutions stuff, 9.95 for 10.5 oz! Thanks for the info Steve, I appreciate you jumping into this thread as well. I just…
knightfly, 6 July 2004Noticed a couple of things - your comment about monitoring "loud" - how loud, and why? (yeah, this is a trick question - but you win either way :=) Insulation - for best…
Hashbrown, 6 July 2004Typically I'll be montiring at 85db as recommended. But sometimes its fun to crank up a mix at the end of a session, or I'll have it louder if I'm tracking bass or…
Aaronw, 6 July 2004Hashbrown, I just kind of quickly glanced over the thread. Here's a quick pic of what I did w/ wall braces: http://johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic ... &start=215 For…
Hashbrown, 6 July 2004Aaron, I've read your thread a few times, it's a great one! My concern was doing those anti-sway brackets with angled walls. But I suppose I could just angle the entire…
Aaronw, 9 July 2004Hey Hashbrown, I did use RC on the control room side of the walls, This gave me the clearance I needed. However, I also, before putting up the drywall, shaved about a…
Hashbrown, 9 July 2004Thanks Aaron. It seems that your technique for the non-rc walls would certainly work, good enough for me at least. Especially since that 2nd layer goes over without…
knightfly, 10 July 2004Your comment about 85 dB levels tells me you already know what works, to answer your PM - what kind of monitor system do you have that can play clean at 110 dB? And, if…
Hashbrown, 12 July 2004Thanks Steve, an excellent response! I appreciate you taking the time to explain it. Yep I read "The famous Mold PDF" a couple times a few months ago, it was before I…

knightfly, 14 July 2004Splayed walls won't get rid of modal problems, it will only shift them to unknown variables :cry: The good news is, it WILL help things like flutter echo, and early…
Hashbrown, 14 July 2004I plan on using the design on p13, fig15 of the BSC pdf. So I would put 2" XPS board aginst the cement wall, then put in 1" 703 then 1 layer of 1/2" sheetrock. I'll have…
Hashbrown, 16 October 2005Well its been a long time since I started my design, but construction has finally started! Thought I'd post my design and a few pictures. Plus I have a few questions of…
Hashbrown, 16 October 2005What looks wrong with the door? I had a contractor help do the framing for me, so I would assume it is standard construction. I floated the wall on neoprene. I didn't…
Hashbrown, 18 October 2005Thanks for the framing tips guys. I checked out the links you've referenced, and I will beef up that door frame. I didn't explicitly calculate my wall weight. I saw some…
Hashbrown, 25 October 2005ok, I figured out my walls to be ~350 psf. 2 layers 5/8" drywall on both sides of the wall(one side mounted on channel). Does that seem in the ballpark? So now I'm not…
Hashbrown, 25 October 2005Yeah, I figured I'm expressing it incorrectly. I calculated the wall to be a little over 700lbs. The wall has a surface area of about 68 sq ft. Now what I was figuring…
sharward, 25 October 2005I'm getting a little lost in all the calculations... But here's how to figure it in a nutshell. Figure 2.3 pounds per square foot per layer of 5/8" sheet rock. If you're…
Hashbrown, 25 October 2005I do understand all the theory behind what we're doing here. You can see by when I joined that I've been reading and re-reading this stuff for quite awhile. I agree that…
knightfly, 25 October 2005I'm getting kinda lost here too; are you trying to float a single frame wall (RC one side) on neoprene, or is this a 2-framed wall? Part of the problem with what you're…
sharward, 26 October 2005Hey Hashbrown, I feel your pain, brother. I wouldn't say that nobody does the math. Paul Woodlock surely did the math. But I agree, it is rare. A lot of people guess and…
Hashbrown, 26 October 2005Thanks for the consideration guys! Steve, I am creating a single-frame wall, rc on one side and floated on neoprene. My whole purpose for floating the wall was to…
