A little tip I learned from a contractor, use different thicknesses of drywall when applying multiple sheets, or on either side of a wall. The different thicknesses resonate at different frequencies and help to reduce amount of sound getting in/ out.

Out of curiosity, do you think that offsetting the 2nd round of drywall (with respect to both the x and y axis) would also help to reduce sound (as opposed to lining it up perfectly with the first sheet layer)? I'm thinking it may create a more convoluted path for any waves to travel (as opposed to easier path through the space between drywall sheets, which I recognize is minimal, but not zero).

Congratulations on your Herculean effort of isolating as best you can. Short of doing a room in the room the only thing you could have done differently was used two different thicknesses of drywall in the ceiling. Everything has a resonant frequency. Having one layer of 5/8 drywall will have one frequency that permeates, but if you do a second layer of quarter inch, that will permeate at a different frequency and be blocked by the other layer, and vice versa. Always use two different thicknesses of drywall or glass or whatever you're trying to use.

Awesome! Very similar to how I did the build on my home studio. My ceiling was already finished drywall so I used Auralex 4" Acoustic panel treatment for a large portion of the iso booth walls and ceiling - I might go with the blanket idea when I start the new build in 3 months. I really work the heck out of my noise gate to keep any sort of ceiling noise out when I'm tracking. Threshold set properly prevents any exterior noise from opening the gate. Never had a problem even when the kids are playing above the studio. Anyway, great looking studio and great ideas.

I have an untreated live room and a acoustically treated control room (bass traps) and 2” 703 behind the desk and GIK PANELS on the back wall and a 1” cloud overhead I know it’s not done correctly but for now it’s got to be good enough because my build isn’t done but I’ve got a few people who want to record and release what ever we do and it’s got to be close as I can get it and I’ve got a 10’x 7’ vocal booth with 6” 703 in the joists and covered with sound blankets and 1” 702 covering the entire wall and covered with sound blankets because a gate will sound clean but it’s still has unwanted background noise baked in so I hope this works

@@scottmckenna My shielded cables are only TRS to XLR, and the rest (usb, ethernet, and wall power 110v) are regular. I had an electrician coming to check the "ground", and he said that such interference might be caused by not separating ethernet from the voltage wires next to a power panel, as they are crossing each other in many spots. I am thinking it can be anything, like power strip, something inside of the computer can pick up noise, as I have old but powerful HP desktop from 2009, or it can even be back stubbed outlets or lite switches, which I am going to check, at least I already found few light switches backstubbed, and it can also make poor connection. I assume you were talking about shielded audio cables, which generally should prevent hissing and noise, oh well, I will try to figure it out. Have a great coming weekend!

Realest explanation and video of a studio build! Great work man! 👌👌 I am not an expert on this subject but what i learnt from my academy on this topic gives me a concern about your approach i.e., you put the fabric instead of the dry wall but doesn't the insulation spread any allergies or any heath issues specially in the eyes or having problems in breathing? Because that's the whole reason people put up the dry wall (a hard surface) and apply POP (Plaster of Paris) on it to avoid getting any health problems when the insulation is not covered with some hard material?

I pretty much got what I wanted but my 5% was bass leakage to the outside but it wasn't enough to get run out of town. I had 12 inch gaps filled with insulation for the walls. Ceiling much like what you did. Then we sold the place and moved. :::LOL! Somebody got a nice space. Keep 'em coming.

I love the idea of the fabric walls, but I sincerely hope that you doused them in fire retardant.

Wait a second.. did you NOT use screws on your second layer of drywall? You know green glue is not really glue, right? From GreenGlues FAQ: Q: Can I use the Compound as an adhesive/glue? A: No, the Compound cannot be used as a glue and requires screw pressure, spaced per building code, to function.

Decoupling the wall and ceiling is a far better way to go and much easier. Results would be exponentially beyond what you have with fabric.

@@scottmckenna To get rid of vibration your sheetrock cant be touching the studs cause that's what carries a vibration, spacers really nullify anything you did for vibration because they still touch your studs. a hat rail allows you to attach your rock to the rail and the only contact point is the one screw into the stud, canceling most of the vibration from walking, jumping, and low end in your studio. I mean its not a big deal now lol after 2 stacks of 5/8ths but In general, for anyone looking to get rid of that vibration, that's how you do it. They also sell isolation clips (it gets expensive) that have rubber behind them that even takes away the contact point of the screw.

Was the fabric fireproof? Seems kind of dangerous to have fabric as your walls. Just a thought.
