The studio I plan to build will have (theoretically) isolated structure between all the rooms that will have noise in them. Each room will have it's own floated floor, with the stud walls stood up on that and the ceiling joists set atop these walls, and the whole thing will be built inside a concrete block box with a simple roof on top of it. I'm hoping to make the overall ceiling high enough that I can get above the ceiling and move around a little bit, even if it's just enough to get HVAC and wiring run...
From what I've read, this is about the best type of building I could build without getting into specialized construction techniques. Correct me if I'm wrong... I'll have a contractor build the outer box, and build the inside myself (with help from friends who owe me favors, of course

Anyway, that's not my question. For the isolation walls (between tracking and control, for example) there will be the 2 floated floors, each holding up a 2x4 studwall with batt (blanket) insulation between the studs and either 1 or 2 layers of wallboard on the INSIDE of the rooms only. As long as I don't let the electrican mess it up, this should give me all kinds of isolation. But here, finally, is the question;
To keep the insulation from falling down between the walls (over time, obviously) I was thinking of stapling a vapor barrier to the back-sides of the studs before I tip the walls up. But will that divide the air space into 3 smaller spaces? I don't know if the visqueen would have much of an effect on sound trying to pass thru the wall-system. I suppose I could just poke holes in it intermittently, too...
Am I too worried about this? I could be making a big deal out of nothing...
Thanks in advance for the advice!
