Construction

The construction phase can be viewed in detail in the “verbouwing” category (sorry, in Dutch only), this is the sound isolation summary:

Elimination of transmissions through the building structure are accomplished by using floating walls and floor.
The floating walls are made up from a framed wood construction containing 12,5 cm Rockwool insulation layer on the inside and a double layer of 12,5 mm gypsum board on the outside.
The floor is made up from Fermacell Estrich floor elements (insulation layer + double gypsum layer) on top of a new floor construction with transmission isolation (Auralex U-Boat construction) at the underlying floor & the adjacent neighbour walls.

Planning

The first chapter about building this studio comprises the planning of construction, sound isolation and acoustic treatment. First of all start with the requirements and intended use of the room: this will be a typical mixing/mastering room, no live instrument/vocal recording intended so isolation requirements are to minimize sound transmission to- and from the outside world as much as possible.
