anyway, we used 1X3? metal studs to build all the walls. we glued (liquid nails)& screwed the gypsum.
the building is concrete, so on the concrete wall, the layers are: concrete, existing gympsum, air gap, 4" rockwool, new gypsum nailed to stud. For the 'new' inside wall, we built a double wall. The Layers are:gypsum, stud,rockwool, air gap, rockwool,stud, gypsum. we may add a layer of gypsum and just glue it up to the inside wall. we also built a gypsum/rockwool/stud ceiling in each room. Is that good enuff for the ceiling?
The floor in the control room is thin cheap generic blue carpet. i was just going to keep it for now. In the 'live' room, we plan on vinyl or linoleum (whichever is cheaper) Should we 'float' the floor? We still havent quite grasped the concept of floating the floor, so if someone has an explaination that a 4 year old can understand, fire away

After browsing this forum, weve decided to try & make some of those diffusor panels that john designed. They look pretty kool & pretty easy to make. In the control room, i was going put panels in the front corners and both sides of the room as well as the front wall (5 total). On the back wall, i was going to try for absorbtion. Will Auralex foam work well for this? there will also be a couch on the back wall.
The 'live' room will be used for everything:drums, guitar, vocals, horns, etc.
We have about 1000 USDollars more to spend on construction.
I think that about explains where we are now.
Any suggestion/advice?
Also, what should we do about diffusors/ absorbers in the 'live' room?
How bad did we screw up so far?
is there any hope for us?
Thanks a million!

PS-the building was on fire before and a section of the floor is is sunken in. if you stomp on the floor, the whole place shakes

PSS-in this neck of the woods, rockwool is referred to as "rotten cotton"
