I don't know if its possible for you, but I tend to like ceilings that have some type of slope to them. Start at, say, 8ft in the front of the room, and have it end at 9 or 10 feet at the end.
Building a new room
Hello All,
I will be using a contractor to build a new dedicated audio room in the basement. The room dimensions will roughly be 19'X14'X8'.
Three walls are already finished and are concrete walls behind dry walls. I am thinking of making the third wall with 2X4s and double dry per side with Green Glue used between them. Also plan to add 10-gauge wire for a dedicated audio circuit. I believe this should be 20-amp circuit?. Also will not go with can light. Instead would prefer the ceiling spot lights. Do not plan to run a separate ground, as of now.
What insulation have folks used before for sound proofing? I was at Menyards for picking the Green Glue and came across UltraTouch+ denim insulation. Does this work better in dry walls and in ceilings?
What other points am I missing or should be taking care? Please share your experiences.
