Think each situation asks for a different kind of approach... if you build for example a studio in a old shed of a farm, you don't need that much isolation... except when the farm is located near a busy airport or expressway, then you get of course more noise from outside... The wall between the control and track/live room need of course always good isolated... you don't want hear the drums on the background when focusing on the track of the guitar... we start in 2 months with the renovation and we keep in our plan the option to add later an floating floor...
