I've found very different answers regarding the installation of rc and was hoping someone with experience might be able to weigh in: What size space should be left between the ceiling and the first track of rc? I've read anywhere from 3" to 12" recommended. And is this measurement from the studs/joi...

thanks for the help and the info... Just to clarify, I guess I was most concerned with a not completely isolated new room (some connection to the existing structure) and the statement: "For applications where low frequency isolation is important, resilient channel is not recommended." As stuntbutt p...

here is a quote from the green glue web page under FAQ's: "11. Can Green Glue be used in conjunction with decoupling techniques? Yes, and better performance can be had. For walls the preferred decoupling methods are double studs > staggered studs > modern sound clips > resilient channel. For applica...

I've got Rod's book, but didn't find the particular answer to this question. Definitely a must have though, you're right.

And thanks, Ethan, kinda what I figured. I'll put in a plug for the many helpful videos you've made. Again, super helpful material.

So I'm planning on a room within a room construction of a live space inside my garage and I'm wondering if non parallel walls should be planned into the design given my dimensions.

and don't forget to mark the studs in order to avoid hitting them with your drywall screws.

Thanks for the great answer! I am currently gearing up to formulate another question that will make sense...

Accepting that three leaf systems are bad when aiming for a soundproof wall construction, when does the space between the second and third leaf (or first and second, i guess depending how you look at it) be...

I'm actually selling a copy of "The Art of Mixing" 2005 second edition, by David Gibson for $25 shipped (I posted a while ago in the buy/sell/trade forum). It's kind of conceptual and he uses color graphics to describe mixing visually though there are definitely facts and figures in there as well. I...

Hey all,

For sale: "The Art of Mixing" (2005) book by David Gibson $25 shipped

The book is in brand new condition. It is the second edition with color graphics.

Dakota, thanks for the info, I'll be sure to send 'em an email.

I'm probably somehow totally missing the obvious, but I couldn't find info on the Black Lion site about their ada8000 mod. Definitely interested if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! How can you not love a resource like this? Tape Op messageboard for President! And of course, Joel for VP.

I guess I should have said the functional demo is free, I think the fully loaded version is still quite cheap.

as far as free stuff goes, I found something called XO Wave...it works, not sure how amazing it is.
