Soulshaker, 22 April 2019Hi All, I'm building a home recording studio and feel blessed to have found this forum! I've spent some time learning from here and Rod Gervais's book as well. I added…
Soundman2020, 23 April 2019Hi there Jason, and Welcome! :) Nice looking place, with lots going for it! It's great to see you did scissor trusses there, so you'll have space for all your HVAC…
Soulshaker, 23 April 2019Stuart, thank you for the reply! Yes I understand that the outer shell is one leaf etc..what I meant is I'm not exactly sure with the outer shell how I should go about…
Soundman2020, 23 April 2019With live acoustic drums plus the speakers, if you only got 111 dB I suspect that you measured on "A" weighting. You should measure on "C" weighting for loud sounds. "A"…
Soulshaker, 24 April 2019Thanks again for your expertise. I Really missed the boat on the HVAC, I was completely ignorant of how the mini split system works and didn't account for fresh air. I'm…

Soulshaker, 13 May 2019Yes the outer shell has air inlets under the eaves and a ridge vent on top. I thought I could use proper vents to keep a channel for air from the eaves to ridge then put…
Soundman2020, 11 July 2019Hi. Please read the forum rules for posting (click here) . You seem to be missing a couple of things! :) That's why you need to dump the stale air, and bring in fresh…
Soulshaker, 26 September 2019Hi fellow studio alumni, I am getting back to working on my studio build after healing from a surgery. I'm at the point where I'm going to insulate my outer shell…
Soulshaker, 18 October 2019Thanks Greg, those R-values meet code in Virginia, I'm uncertain whether I should fill entire scissor joist with insulation still leaving a small gap at top with rafter…
Soulshaker, 26 October 2019Above your outer leaf, in the joists, just fill it "normally". It needs space for air to circulate. In between an inner and outer leaf, you want the entire cavity full…
