AudioMedios, 27 January 2006Hello all. I'm about to start the construction of a studio that is going to be used as rehearsal room too. The location is near a very busy avenue with high SPL noise (I…
AudioMedios, 31 January 2006Thanks again Andre. I think the same. The only difference is that I'll change the timber studs and go fot the steel ones. It's much cheaper and easy to build and they…
Ro, 31 January 2006hey AudioMedia, I'm busy on a simular plan. Done some extensive resource. Metal Studs is, indeed, easier and cheaper. Extra bonus is the not-to-stiff material which is…
AudioMedios, 2 February 2006Thanks for the warning Andre. This is what I plan to do with the floor: The studio is located in the second floor (in the first there is a car repair shop). The area is…

AudioMedios, 4 February 2006Hello. I've worked on some simple drawings in order to let you know how I plan to build the floating floor and the walls. First draw is the floating floor. And second is…
Dan Fitzpatrick, 6 February 2006when you float a floor that creates an air cavity which will have a resonant frequency. so your floor can amplify sound at that frequency. usually this frequency is in…
AudioMedios, 7 February 2006Great and clear answer. Thank you Dan. I can build a floor made of wood. I plan to build it with 7cm x 4cm wood joists spaced (centers) at 70cm, wich makes a wide cavity…
