Thread Starter  | Garage Conversion questions... Hey I'm converting my garage into a small production/recording studio. I have some questions: Do any of you have experience with QuietRock drywall. I'm trying to figure out how to soundproof the walls. Debating over QuietRock or resilient channel (QuietSolutions doesn't recommend both....?). I will have a subwoofer in the control room. (mixing mainly R&B and Hip Hop) So I need to isolate a lot of deep bass. Basically, I'm asking if one or the other is better for the low bass frequencies? thx |

| Quietrock works. It is more expensive than equivalent walls made with drywall and Green Glue. Andre |

Thread Starter | Ok cool.. Another question: Since this is a garage conversion for a project studio, Do you think the sound isolation would significantly improve if all the walls and ceiling were installed on a resilient channel?? (with double layer of 1/2" sheetrock sandwiching green glue) As opposed to just the walls that are connected to the house? For some reason I am thinking that if all the walls are on resilient channel it would be more decoupled from the rest of the house and therefore significantly improve isolation. Is this correct (considering I don't want to spend an arm and a leg if I don't have to. (I don't think I will be floating the floor by the way). thx in advance Talib |

| I can guarantee that if you think you do not need to float the floor, you do not have to.  Quote:
