gdaddio, Welcome to the forum.
building staggared studding walls next to the concrete
HUH? Presuming "concrete" means foundation wall, building a staggered stud frame as inner leaf would be waste of space. Regular 2x4 frame will do just fine. Please look up Mass Air Mass on this forum or MAM and if not already spend a while reading through the reference section.
thin layer of insulation spray foam all walls and ceiling before putting rockwool and drywall up
Not sure if that is neccasry.
(ceiling gets quietrock)
Google search results on this forum of Quietrock This IS NOT a cost effective product. It's in the catogory BS products.
does anyone have any recomodations for the heater intake that is in the room as well. i was thinking about routing it so it is in the back of my rack equipment room
Well... hard for any forum member to suggest anything with no drawings or pics and limited details. Bottom line is if you are going to build rooms of a studio that have an amount of sound isolation (no room is completely sound proof) then it will aslo be air tight THUS requiring ventilation. Forgive me if I'm wrong but this sure sounds like you've not thought this. Rod's book covers (in the stickies) also covers these topics and many others. Good luck Marc
