Kara,
I appreciate the input,but the sound-booth method as indicated in the pictures,is general sound absorption to reduce reflections in a room,as supposed to sound isolation-which is actually bringing the transmission of sound waves to a halt completely,thereby containing the sound within the room and not have any sound pass through the walls whatsoever,which is what I need.
What I need to do to achieve this level of isolation,is to build a room within a room,which basically consists of me building some frame work on the existing surface of my walls & placing panels of mineral fiber insulation in between the framework,then nailing sheets of fiberboard over top of that and then attaching sheets of vinyl material over top of that.
Creating an inch of airspace,along with using these very dense sound insulation materials will sound-proof my studio 100%.
This construction method is not terribly expensive & I can do it myself and it is so effective,that I could literally bring in an entire 5 piece band with the volume level of a small nightclub venue, and have them play in my studio at 2:00am in the morning and my neighbors would not hear a peep!
The biggest expense,is the materials,as the mineral fiber insulation is made out of volcanic rock-which is not only the best absorption material,but it also has a class A fire rating. The vinyl sheet material is a professional grade,very dense form of vinyl.
Vinyl Sheetblok: $159.00 per 4' X 10' sheet
Mineral Fiber: $119.00 for 6, 2' X 4' panels
Once I save enough money for the Nord & the mixer that I want,I will then probably have my room sound-proofed by the end of next year-by my estimates.
As I see it,ultimately,I cannot afford any cheaper methods of sound-proofing,because I cannot take a chance on possibly disturbing my neighbors & getting evicted from this building I live in,as the amount of disabled,low income people that live in this state,exceed the amount of low income dwellings that there are and I managed to get into one of the nicest state-funded buildings that exist in N.J.,and moving into this place is the oppurtunity of a lifetime for me.
Thanks for the suggestion,
Thom
