Thank you, I bought a copy and am reading it as I can. Great book!

Good thought. Thank you!

Ok, great. That's good news. One less thing to worry about. No it is not connected to any other structure that I want to isolate. Just the laundry room, but I'm not going to worry about that. It will be fine. Interesting on decoupling the drums and bass from the slab. Great idea. Sure looks like a c...

Looks awesome! Congrats!

norton, thanks so much.

That is great info and helps me out a lot.

If I decouple the walls and ceiling, do I need to do anything with the floor?

It is like a concrete slab / garage floor.

Thanks for the response Floid. here are some pictures. the first picture shows the tall main wall that I was talking about. This wall is a border to a laundry room area, that other people will use. I think they'll just have to hear music when they are doing laundry... oh well. But, I do want to isol...

Hey y'all, I'm still planning my rehearsal / recording space, and have run into my next question. I have a wall that is already sheetrocked. I am wondering if I can just put green glue on a second layer of sheetrock, stagger the sheetrock seams, and attach it (will that be good enough???), OR.... if...

Thanks for the info. I am reading about it right now on that site. Sounds like pretty good stuff.

Yeah, I was definitely thinking about that. The guys doing the roof and the other guy working on some of the inside stuff said that it shouldn't be a problem. But I've never done this before so who knows.

Thanks for your reply. I'm attaching some images. This is the part of the garage/shed that I will use for rehearsal and recording. The purple things are the barn doors with foam insulation from home depot inside of their frame. I'm actually getting a new roof in the next few weeks. It will be metal ...

Thanks for the response. One other aspect would be the insulation factor of a cinder block wall vs. a 2x4 wall w/ typical pink insulation. I forgot to mention that I will also be living there, so good insulation is important as well. Room within a room sounds very interesting to me... I just hate gi...

Hello, I am converting a shed/garage space into my rehearsal/recording space. It has cinder block walls on all four sides. My eventual goal is to soundproof it as much as possible so that I can rehearse with my band and play loud. I have a long way to go... My question is about the walls. There is o...

I have 2 FMR PBC-6A compressors in excellent condition, light use.
Local company I bought them from engraved their company name on the bottom, but that is the only odd thing about them.
100% functional and sound great.

$300 for each of them. Or $575 for both.

Thank you,

I don't pay the electrical bill, so I'm happy to leave the gear on all the time if that is better for the gear.
I have heard that before but never understood the logic in it.
I always turn my stuff on and off every session.
Thanks for both of your input.

thank you Do you let things warm up really, really slowly before turning them on? not really... i usually throw the space heater on when I get there and then turn the mixing board (soundcraft spirit studio) on after that... and then the tape machine... thanks for the heater link too... i'll look int...
