I can't really deny that title haha. I wish it was cheaper to do, but that drywall and construction is just expensive!! It's pretty cheap to move to the middle of the woods though. No soundproofing needed;)
Wonderful build, almost the same as my blueprints. My question is the I beam you have. I was told that I would need to build a drop down under the I beam so everything is decoupled from it as well.
@@gyasirossmusic you don't really need to do all that to get great results. You can either do resilient channel or a double wall system. Then either choose mlv or green glue.
very helpful guide. in a existing garage with a concrete wall, the external practicing room wall would be the existing concrete wall? then a frame+insulation, followed by 1inch gap, followed by the internal frame + insulation + doubled drywall. how to keep the insulation fixed without falling into the 1 inche gap? for me it was very confused this part @4:28. And in case of not using drywall would two layers of 18mm mdf give the same output?
So you have one extra wall there. Use the concrete as outer wall and then the air gap and new wall. It is all about mass. If 18mm msg is similar or exceeds 2.2lb/sq ft then you are good.
Use insulation on both walls, stagger the studs. I prefer unfaced these days with a vapor variable membrane if the double wall touches the outside environment l.
You are a saint! Question: I *think* you suggested not paying for Green Glue in another, more recent video. Do you still recommend it? (I'm planning on making a "drum room" in my garage...). Double walls, double ceiling, but modular / removable...
@soundproofyourstudio Hello, I have been following your videos to gather information, I am finally ready to start building my practice/recording studio room next week but the only question I have is how thick should be the insulation inside the new interior drywall? Should 2" rockwool or fiberglass be enough or should I go for something even thicker like 3.5" I hope you could help me to avoid spending more money in insulation that what's really needed. Thank you!!!
No idea! You would need to get that done in a lab or pay a dedicated team to come out. On paper it should be over STC 63 especially with the green glue. A pro tip… don’t focus on STC ratings. They only go down to 125hz and are not the end all be all.
Hi there, great vid! I'm currently building three recording studios side by side in a warehouse. I'm using genie resistance clips with furring channels, I've got these screwed directly to my outside stud (not the outside wall of the warehouse). Then 1 layer of 12mm acoustic dry wall, one layer of Tec Sound then another layer of 12mm dry wall. Do i still need to build an inside wall an inch away from my outside stud or will one stud wall suffice if i'm using the furring channels ? I need each room to be completely sound proof from the other so we can record three bands at a time with no bleed
@@soundproofyourstudio Thanks. I can understand if the studio is bulid like yours in the video,.. stand alone building made from ground up. But how if the same floor is shared (is the same floor as) with other existing rooms in the house? Wouldn't the sound can transmit through it? And the floor also connecting the two walls (and other walls).

Building a practice room right now. Very helpful video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
I wish I have this practice room. 😊. Great info!
You can do it!
Wonderful build, almost the same as my blueprints. My question is the I beam you have. I was told that I would need to build a drop down under the I beam so everything is decoupled from it as well.
That is correct. We built a false beam around the main beam that was decoupled from the actual beam.
Curious why you didnt use Mass Loaded Vinyl on the walls
I don't think MLV works as well as two layers of drywall with green glue. Here is a vid on it - ruclips.net/video/tAAKDGtRgfw/видео.html
@@soundproofyourstudio Gotcha that does make sense, why not go for everyhing double dry wall, green glue, MLV and resilient channel?

Great video! do you put insulation on both walls? does it matter if I'm using faced or unfaded insulation?
Use insulation on both walls, stagger the studs. I prefer unfaced these days with a vapor variable membrane if the double wall touches the outside environment l.
Do you recommend putting rockwool insulation (or any type of insulation) behind the double drywall?
Yes, you definitely need insulation for it to work properly, but use the cheapest insulation possible, not rockwool.
Lol yea gotta be an easier way
You are a saint!
Question: I *think* you suggested not paying for Green Glue in another, more recent video. Do you still recommend it?
(I'm planning on making a "drum room" in my garage...). Double walls, double ceiling, but modular / removable...
Yes, I no longer recommend green glue. The recipe changed and it doesn’t work as well as it did back in 2008.

3.5 inch Corning 703 pink on each stud wall. Stagger studs
Thank you very much!!!@@soundproofyourstudio
Hello, what is the STC value of your soundproof system?
No idea! You would need to get that done in a lab or pay a dedicated team to come out. On paper it should be over STC 63 especially with the green glue. A pro tip… don’t focus on STC ratings. They only go down to 125hz and are not the end all be all.

There's a 2 inch gap between each studio
Don’t create a triple leaf effect. What you said will work
Hey, shouldn't one be using isolation clips also on the walls?
Not if you use a double wall system
is the magnetic seals for the door commercially available?
I recommend using zero industries acoustic door seals.
Thank you!
About how much money would this cost? Looking into building a practice space
It depends on the square footage. 100 sq feet is around 10k.
Great. Thanks. However, you haven't talk about anything to do with the floor (except about concrete floor), do you? Shouldn't we?
A concrete floor is soundproof enough for home studios. No need to float a floor.
@@soundproofyourstudio Thanks. I can understand if the studio is bulid like yours in the video,.. stand alone building made from ground up.

We take our folk punk seriously.
Right on
What if you are using a second floor room with percussions? The floor currently has carpet. @soundproofyourstudio Thanks in advance!
Second floor rooms are very hard to soundproof adequately
Any recommendations ?@@soundproofyourstudio
