I’ll agree with you so that both of us are wrong.
I am looking at creating a “music” room in an unfinished part of my basement. I am not a handyman by any stretch, so most of the work will be hired out. What I am trying to sort through is what are the best soundproofing options to keep as much of the sound in the room? I am just starting to research this project, so any info that you guys have would be greatly appreciated. Drywall, ceilings, insulation, baffles, etc... I don’t need this to be recording studio quality but I want to do it good enough to keep most of the sound from escaping to the adjoining finished basement or through the ceiling to the upstairs. I would like to do a drop ceiling but not if I can’t keep the sound from escaping. One consistent thing that I have seen from a few YouTube videos is the use of two 5/8” drywall panels with soundproofing green glue between them. The space is in the corner of the house, so two of the walls are outside walls. I think the ceiling is going to be the most important to soundproof as good as possible. Thoughts and ideas?
