Never used green glue in any build...

Seems like a hip idea, but who knows about the long term... 5-10 years down the line? Will it get harder & transmit MORE energry? That surely won't help in a studio... anybody have a DL on the long-term effects of green glue?

Anywhoo... Jimmy... one of the BEST things you can have your builders do is to put "blocking" in... horiztonal cross pieces between the studs.

Regardless of how many layers of drywall & whatever that'll break up the resonant frequncy of the wall... prevent it from going into oscillation at any one specific frequency & turning into a giant tone generator.

Kinda like these... 'stripped' interior wall shots before the insulatiuon & top layers went on...
