Yes you are right Glenn,

I just want to absorb and make her sound good.

There is no need to isolate in this situation. My studio room which is still usable, has angled double walls with 1/2" and 5/8" DW plus an angled ceiling of the same, joists and walls are stuffed and there is a 12"x12" "squishy" tile on 1x2 firring for ceiling. Perfect...no...but pretty darn good.

I looked at the ceiling grid and the main grids are running parallel with the joists. I think if I remove all the tiles and small grid pieces, I will have enough access to stuff the joists with the fluffy stuff. Should I load the corners up there where the wall meets the joists or is it not neccessary because I'm not going to have a DW surface on the bottom of the joists?
