Double drywall with 1 layer 1/2" AND THE OTHER 5/8" Don't do the same thickness for both layers (diff res. freq.)The green glue sandwiched between layers of dryawall is a good one and will cost less than "acoustical drywall" (80.00/sheet vs. 8.00 for reg) or mass loaded vinyl. I am buildin a basment rehearsal room for myself and that will be much louder than and stereo system. I will construct a room within a room to psyically de-couple the walls and ceiling from the rest of the house. You may ver well do fine with the double drywall and green glue and insulating the walls. Good luck and enjoy your room. There is a good deal of info out there, sometimes too much but this is what I will be doing and I have spent a good deal of time researching it.
basement renovation - ideas?
I posted a question regarding speakers and got tons of great feedback. Thanks to everybody for that. My next question pertains to my complete basement renovation. What considerations should be taken when finishing the basement for optimal sound? The only thing this rookie has considered is 5/8" drywall opposed to something thin! Are there any products out there (without breaking the bank) that will help provide optimal sound quality? The room will be roughly 12x28 with 8 1/2 foot ceilings.
Thanks guys...
