In this case, you would use the "sub muted" option, as you want ONLY the Left and Right speakers, and ONLY doing what they would be doing if the sub were actually on. The reason being that you want to see how the speakers are interacting with the room all by themselves, without considering...

Found another photo of the same studio: The owner actually used the isolation booth for drums occasionally! IMG_1282 copy-ISO-drums-from-CR-wideangle.jpg In addition to using it for vocals and a Moog! (I'm just a little jealous of that...). IMG_1115 copy-ISO-with-mic-and-Moog.jpg So the isolation mu...

... continued... Found what I was looking for, about the Home-Depot style patio doors. One of my clients in Australia did that with the studio I designed for him, for the doors between the vocal booth and control room. He originally did it with patio doors because he needed to get it done urgently f...

Hi there GreenWire Music, and Welcome to the Forum! I'd suggest that you look into acoustic-rated sliding glass doors. A pair of such doors back-to-back (one in each leaf of your wall) can get you high isolation. Eg: doors-sliding-glass-3.jpg sliding-glass-doors-pair.jpg How much isolation do you ne...

Sounds good all around, Jennifer! Smart move.

Also, can you share any AC silencer vents and designs that work good? It's not that easy, unfortunately! Your HVAC system should be designed specifically for your room. It needs to move the right volume of air, at the right rate and speed, for your specific room. It needs to deal with your specific...

...as long as you spec your isolation needs and build it to that spec. Exactly! That's the key point. First priority is to decide on what level of isolation you need, then design and build the entire studio (all of it: Floor, walls, ceiling, doors, windows, HVAC, electrical... everything) to that l...

Hope you're enjoying

Hell yeah! Enjoying every single photo and comment. And just wondering if your day job is something like cabinet maker, precision carpenter, or some such! That's some excellent work there.

The console will be facing the top of the drawing , the door is the rear of the room, I am at 22 feet front to back, and yes soffit mount is what I will be doing :oops: Ooops! I just noticed that I had your CR figured totally wrong. I thought (due to not paying attention.... :roll: ) that you were ...

Looks great! Some pretty awesome advances there.

do you have some feed back on what you would do with the 2 leaf system , use existing wall or just build 2 more walls 2x4? Any way you look at it, the existing building wall IS your outer leaf. There's no getting around that. The question is: How good of a leaf is it? If it isn't all that good yet,...

It's also a question of how much isolation you can get by with, and what is the lowest frequency where you need good isolation. If you need high isolation at low frequencies, or if there are already structure-borne vibrations happening, then as Glenn mentioned, the best solution is to cut the slab. ...

However, they only do 160mm or 200mm Ducting. so 160mm is going to be what I have to go with... Adding to what Jennifer already said: Could you fit two 160mm ducts side-by-side? Increases your cross sectional area and reduces flow velocity substantially. That might be a solution, if you can figure ...

Oh, and one more thing you deserve congratulations for....

Your thread is getting enticingly close to HALF A MILLION VIEWS!!! Right now it stands at 421,094. That's pretty darn amazing too!

You are inspiring a lot of people, apparently.

Awesome!

Wow! That's pretty darn good, Jennifer! Any way you look at it, that's a very significant improvement, and I think well worth the effort.

Congratulations!
