Africa still needs help.Tracking room design.

OK. Here is my first concept of a tracking room. The walls are double gypboard 12.5 mm (aprox. 1 inch) + 6.4 mm plywood. Walls are angled 6 degrees. 12 degrees will shrink the place to the cave. Fibreglass is allready nailed to the wall.(previous band had to practice, I guess). Any help welcome! Drakem P.S. I wish the Big Brother Russia had allow us Polish people to learn proper english. :oops: :oops: :oops:

I think you can come up wth a more effective use of space. Your left side wall i'd invert that wall splay and make it a slat resonator. Your south wall I;d splay both sections and make them a slat resonator as well. Your right and top walls I'd just put absorption on them. That would keep as much room as possible in this area and still give you a nice tight room. :)

Here is a ruff scratch of what I am talking about The walls I left flat will have Insulation on them. Also the lower resonator where the door is.. I erred. I meant to reverse that angle and the door will be mounted along the angle. :)

Thank you ghiles for reply. This is a much better idea. But i have to do something with the Nord and East as well, becouse there is also noise coming in. The Nord wall is the outside wall, the East one part of the house. When my children are very loud in house you can still here a soft noise. I´m not shure where all this noise is coming thru. Would it help to put the same angled wall - resonator on the East side? I know the room is getting smaller, but for now the noise is the major problem Thank You. Greets Drakem

I think forgot something. At the moment the rumble is the biggest problem. I think first thing I have to do is build drywall construction to stop the noise and then slat resonator on that. Or do I understand something wrong. drakem

Giles I try to continue with your idea. How about this? I need this inner drywall shell. Thanks drakem

Almost perfect. Just make sure those slat resonators on your left wall are angled 10 -12 degree's minimum. That inner shell will definitely help eliminate outside influences. :)

Ok! Thank you again. Today ill buy all the staff needed. And go wild into the world of wood, gypboard, circular saw & co :D Thanks drakem

Enjoy, I know I did. :) Nothing Like building something that works :)

Again problems During last check in my Building Supply Shop I discovered some problems in my construction. The drywall system i can get here cannot hold gypboard - plywood on one side only becouse its to havy. Even steel studs i can get here are only 50mm (2"?) so the guys in the shop say I have to screw some studs to the brick wall. I know it doesnt work. As you can use noepren pads to float the floor could one use it to "float" the wooden frame? What i mean to put the neopren under the bottom and upper channel and bettwen the wooden studs and the brick wall, lets say only at the edges and in the middle. I know its very "Africkaans DIY" :? but I need only few DB noise reduction in low freq. Another question is to use rubber machine pads instead of neopren (again Africa, nobody knows what is neopren here :twisted: . Rubber they have here in all sizes and colors. No way to get RC as well. Is that maybe another way to solve it? :cry: Thanks in advance drakem

You sure can float your walls like that. I have done that before and ti worked. :)

OK Thank you for your help again This site is the best place on the net indeed :D
