The options for soundproofing a recording studio

There are many websites out there than can offer you much knowledge about what soundproofing solutions you have for any home or commercial recording studio. The quality and type of the recordings will decide how much soundproofing you should have to accomplish the best quality recordings in the studio. There are many aspects to consider while creating a professional recording studio.

In a commercial area, where there are traffic and city noises that can penetrate regular walls, you may set a goal for accomplishing 56 decibels of sound for the ceilings and walls of the studio. Usually, you will be able to get studio windows and doors that will meet this target. A recording studio that maintains this decibel level would be what most producers would consider a professional quality studio where any professional band or musician can record using a soundproof glass wall.

Most of the major recording studios have an STC rating of up to 80 STC, but these studios might cost millions of dollars to create and most of us don’t have that much money to invest in a studio. Hence soundproof sheets are the best option for us.

Finally, if you are looking for the best soundproofing products, you may consider floating the ceilings and the walls on furring channels and sound clips. This is a very efficient method of soundproofing which can isolate the wall and the ceiling from the frame structure and also each other. It may take time to explain this mechanism in one post, but you can gather more information about the usage of furring channels and sound clips online.

Other things to consider while building a recording studio are doors and windows that you will require for your living room or control room and for actual entrance of the studio itself.

Most people realize that that sound travels through air; we know this intuitively as we can hear people when they are talking and we can shout to them when they are far away. It is an easy concept to handle noise present in the air.  Air borne sound Generally, an acoustic solution should handle these problematic areas. Basically, it is an easy solution. Only two things can stop sound, and they are mass and space. Mass is necessary to stop the airborne sound but as solid objects also carry sound, to turn it into structure borne sound, you also have to introduce air space with aluminium wall panels .
