Best way to finish a poorly begun project
Posted: Mon Apr 11, 2005 4:35 am
I really wish I had found this forum a long time ago... It would have made my life a lot easier!! Here's my question...
I'm in the middle of converting my garage into a nice little recording studio. We're about halfway done with construction of the live room, and I recently realized that we're doing everything wrong. Soundproofing is a major concern due to neighbors. So far the walls consist of (from exterior to interior): slats of redwood (it's an old garage), wood studs, fiberglass insulation (not rigid, the other stuff), sound board with all the seams caulked. Yes, I did finally discover the threads about how sound board is a rip-off.
Where do I go from here? I've got a shipment of drywall arriving next week. I've read the threads about how resilient channel probably isn't my wisest investment. Should I just plan on doing another layer of drywall? Should I just put up the drywall and play the drums and wait for the cops to arrive? Should I put down my hammer because I am obviously not smart enough to be swinging it around?
Thanks everybody....
(It should probably be noted that the budget for this project is tiny.)
