Jim Ittenbach's Adventures in Soundproofing

This page will chronicle all the phases of the Troubled Basement Studios soundproofing project. Information included on this page cover both successes and mistakes encountered along the way. This is the first thing you need to do if you are considering a soundproofing project... Buy this book and read it cover to cover until you understand all the concepts:

Home Recording Studio: Build It Like The Pros by Rod Gervais

He has designed some of the top studios in the world. He presents the most cost effective way to achieve your goals. He thoroughly covers what you need to do to meet your requirements. He intentionally leaves out products that may work, but are more expensive than other materials that provide the same result. Proof of the need to read this book first exists in Phase One and Two of the Troubled Basement Studios project (then I got my copy of the book).

Additionally I recommend you join and get familiar with the stdio construction sections of both recording.com and  johnlsayers.com.
