Thanks Starlight! Yes, that is, exactly. I gave a thought it could replace homasote because of its density, but anyway I don't know it yet, since it isn't in the datasheet of this product. If not, I'm not sure what else can I use instead of homasote, or any other cellulose based fibre wall board, si...

Hello folks! Some new doubts beside the ones above: I'm designing the rear wall treatment, which will have hangers, and looking for an alternative material for homasote, since it's not available in my country. Stuart, since you also are in Latinoamérica, do you know any alternative? What do you thin...

Thanks Stuart! I was thinking, and found that I could stretch cloth over a frame going in front of the acoustic treatment, and then attached in place by finishing nails, being that the neatest way, at least in my situation. And every situation is a different world. There'll be situations where you c...

Paul, Jennifer, thank you for answering! 1783 So what is covering the large panels that are in place now? I'm designing a studio that isn't build yet (the treatment at least), and I'm searching for options, since I'm in the designing stage. 1784 these be attached with the small headless pins / nails...

Hi folks! I have some questions for you: How do you stretch cloth in front of acoustic panels that are already in place and cannot be taken out? I've been making it in such a way that later I put some wood in front of staples or nails, or wrapping the cloth around panels, if they are not hanged yet,...

1770 For me, one inch of caulk for the 5 metres (16 feet) around the door frame would be really expensive and require lots of fiddly work to layer it, whereas the textile cost me 11 euros ($12, £10) and I will be able to glue it in place in a matter of minutes. In your situation I would be looking ...

Thank you Stuart! 1718 I can probably help you with that. I'll appreciate that very much. The cloud I'm planning to do is about 3.2 m. length, by 3.3 m. width, with the "front" part angled back, and the "back" part, less angled, and almost against the ceiling. Here go some prelim...

Hi Paul, I was having the same doubt and I think something that could be done is putting osb, drywall and/or whatever you are using for the inner leaf, attached to it and making the gap smaller, letting about half an inch gap, in a way that it can be sealed then with baker rod and caulk. What do you...

Stuart! As always, thank you very much! 1706 I did notice on there that the inner-leaf walls extend up past the top of the inner-leaf ceiling, nearly up to the outer-leaf ceiling, with just a thin piece of fiberglass insulation separating them: I'm wondering why they did that, since there's a risk o...

Thanks again Stuart for such quick answering! 1657 I'll be posting soon some documentation about isolation devices from Mason, and pictures of the studio as it is now, since it could be interesting for some readers, and in order to show you all the process and progress. Unfortunately I couldn't find...

Stuart, thank you very much for the feedback in such little time! Many doubts were cleared. I already had read some of the topics you linked above, but now I'm re-reading, knowing where to get focus in. 1646 Maybe you can get your friend to take photos of all of that, the way it is right now, and po...

Si, definitivamente. A veces puede no ser del todo preciso, pero siempre ayuda!

Muchas gracias Stuart!!! Ojalá puedas venir pronto de nuevo. Hace unos años ya, fuí por primera vez a Santiago. Hermosa ciudad! La próxima vez que vaya, nos contactamos. Acabo de postear sobre el estudio que comentaba. Lo hice en inglés para que sea lo más inclusivo posible para todos los miembros. ...

Hello everybody, First of all, thanks Stuart for the forum! There's such high level of information and knowledgement here! It's very valuable. My name is Eric, and I'm designing a recording and mixing studio for a friend of mine. It's located 500 kilometres away from where I live, so, by now, I'm wo...

Hi everybody! My name is Eric. I'm from Argentina. By now I live in Buenos Aires City, and I'm an audio engineer, mostly doing recording, mixing and mastering tasks. My first language is Spanish. Despite the fact I understood pretty well English, it's not easy for me to write. I hope you tell me if ...
