In the UK, I'd recommend Rocksil. They do various densities; I did my room using RS-45 and RS-60, the latter being the more dense option. Encon was the cheapest place to get it.
Oh, and don't under-estimate how much sound travels along and through surfaces. If I could do it all over again, I'd spend way more time looking into ways to isolatie vibrations that come in from outside (i.e, footsteps above and the people nextdoor) as well as those created inside the studio, (i.e a drummer) .
Hope this helps. |
Thanks for the input- I'll check Rocksil out. I have been working in the room for over a year as I mentioned its just that it started out as a temp room after I moved out of my old studio because I was sharing the space and it was too hard to get into my own room! I had another space lined up but then it's so nice being set up at home with fewer overheads I decided to stay put and make the space a bit more pro! There is nothing to the side of me as such and although the sitting room is above it's not too bad... I mix at moderate levels.
