Soundproofing?

So i haven't posted anything is a while. Actually almost a year. This is Zach by the way, or Broder which ever you prefer.

But, i guess this question would be more directed at Jamie.

I need a place where i can start to pull together a studio and i choose my shed, but im stuck at the sound proofing. Whats the best way to eliminate as much sound as possible going in and out?

By the way, it has a single wooden layer for the walls, two lofts, set up on wood planks to keep it off the ground im assuming, the floor is plywood, vaulted ceiling, and its about 12' by 20'

Hey Zack,

That's easy, Insulation. The best would be Foam, the pink 1 3/4" stuff is what we used in Phoenix and it kills kills kills, but the regular pink fiberglass would do just fine, make sure it has paper on one side and install just like you would in a home. You will see a huge improvement right away. You may step this up by sheet rocking over the bats in the room. Do not over pack the fiber glass, you will kill its natural sound killing property.

Remember they call it playing music, not working music. Have fun.

J-me
