You made my day...I think, lol.
I definitely want to preserve as much width as possible as I only have 11 1/2ft to work with....so, the idea that I could use a single wall and create a sort of 2 leaf system with that is VERY appealing to me. I am going to leave the garage doors, will absolutely seal them as they will certainly be a WEAK link and will need to build a wall in that section...
I am sure it is impossible to know for sure, but can you let me know what kind of isolation loss I will have by choosing to go with a single wall with resilient channel (as described above) vs. a standard 2 leaf system?
I am pretty sure the back section IS load bearing and I would rather not mess with the structure in that way. That being said, I will used 6.5 ft by 13ft partition as a vocal/guitar isolation booth...Is this going to be too small do get a decent drum recording out of? If it is I can certainly use the main room for drums, but I would much rather have them isolated.
One last question...
Would using the sound isolation clips, to mount the resilient channel, provide a drastically improved isolation result? I have seen, based on Rod's book and online info, that is would still give me a decent STC rating without using a 2 leaf?
Thanks so much,
Keith
