...followed by another layer of 3/4" plywood.

Framing begins in VO A

Next, the studs are floated on rubber.

Next, the studs are floated on rubber.

Floating Floor separation

The floor and studs are separated by 1/8" and don't touch.

Installing insulation and resilient channels-VO A

Next, the hundreds of pounds of insualtion get added.

Insulation and resilient channels-VO A 2

Resilient channels (the horizontal strips) are added that will float the drywall panels.

Insulation and resilient channels-VO B

Resilient channels (the horizontal strips) are added that will float the drywall panels.

R-60!!! Extremely thick walls on the street side of the VO booth

Note the extremely thick R-60 isulation bundles on the street side.

Studio B drywall complete

Drywall starts - two layers of 5/8" panels.

First layer of Drywall complete

Each panel of drywall is seperated and does not touch each other.

Drywalling A begins_ There will be 2 layers of 5_8

The cable tubes were installed prior to drywalling.

Corner Traps in VO A - R-30 insulation is packed into corner

Corner traps have insulation stuffed in.

Corner Traps in VO A - stapling burlap to 2x2's

Burlap is stapled over to keep in.

Burlap is stapled over to keep in.

Corner Traps in VO A - with fabric-covered frame fitted over trap_

A panel with acoustic cloth is placed over burlap.

Panels on wall and corner trap_ It's coming along!

Compressed fiberglass panels are framed and covered with acoustic fabric.

Dane constructs a frame for an overhead bass trap_ or

Dane constructs a "cloud" to go on ceilings.

The empty frame is attached to eye bolts with nylon cable ties_ They aren't heavy with the fiberglass panels in them - only about 30 pounds_

Fiberglass panels are inserted in each cloud frame.

We slide the fiberglass panels in after the frame is loosely hung_ The frame is easier to hang while empty_ Next_ we tighten each nylon cable tie_ We use 2 heavy duty ties for each eye bolt_ an average of 6 each frame_

Fiberglass panels are inserted in each cloud frame.

Overhead clouds over mix position A_ There is one more large one to be put into place_

Overhead clouds in each room.
