After doing some research, absorsption seems to be the resounding feedback, no pun intended. so we looked at our options on controlling and improving the LF performance in terms of absorption. We made some calls regarding materials etc. 703 and 705 rigid fibreglass seems to be the right choice, unfortunately cannot be found anywhere local. The materials accesible are rockwool, insulation blankets R11 and R19 all are two inches thick, the question is which material would be more effecient? I think rockwool would be the best one ...but more importantly can the R11 and R19 blankets be used for anything...would it be beneficial to us. I ask this because the blankets are cheaper than rockwool. We have designed a plan showing Control room and Iso booth we would like to hear other options on how to use the space(see plan). The plan shows two prospective problems
1. The existing bathroom behind that sidewall..sound transmission
2. The construction of the iso booth
would really appreciate some help thanks
p.s. the message board has been very helpful

Aloha and welcome to the forum! :D
Congrats on your studio build! Any chance you could please:
You'll probably get more of a response by doing so and this will really come in handy two or three posts down the road. It's also part of the forum guidelines. Thanks! :wink: For more info, check out both of these links - http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7572 http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3231Edit your profile to include your location. This is very important, because this is a worldwide resource, and as such, material costs and availability vary widely. For example, masonry is cheaper than gypsum in some parts of the globe, whereas it's the exact opposite in other regions.
For some reason, there is no plan attached. :?: Looking forward to your build and seeing your plan. Aloha 8)We have designed a plan showing Control room and Iso booth we would like to hear other options on how to use the space(see plan).
