![]() ![]() There simply isn't enough leakage from the tracking rooms at full roar to impact a mixing or tracking choice. I've worked in a badass studio built on a single slab without floated floors. The latter can vastly increase complications and will not necessarily benefit the former. When it comes to studio building in the 21st century I'd lean more towards favorable acoustics over absolute isolation. I did 1/2 inch on top of 5/8 inch in my place. Mass Loaded Vinyl is sold under many different brand names, but in essence, all (including ours) are a vinyl rubber made heavier by loading with Barium. I don't know how MLV would function as underlayment but I don't believe it's intended to be used as such and could translate structure born sound through the floor in some cases.Īlso, maybe the science has changed on this but I seem to remember blending drywall thicknesses reduced structural resonance. If you did the same with floor underlayment it would not do much at all. If you put MLV on two sides of a single door with a good seal it would greatly reduce the sound that can pass through that door. MLV is reducing energy transmission by using a flexible mass to dampen energy conducted through a structure. ![]() The underlayment is reducing sound transmission via compression as a means of absorbing energy. ![]() Those two products do different jobs and the ratings aren't necessarily relevant to each other. Soundproof it from what? What are you trying to isolate? Sound getting in or sound getting out? I want to soundproof my floor and ceiling gap. TLDR: Floor underlayment has a higher STC level then mass loaded vinyl, but this seems wrong? I am confused and looking for anyone to expand upon this for me. Has anyone every used floor underlayment in place of mass loaded vinyl or know if the floor underlayment is more effective for deadening sound? So is floor underlayment a more effective sound deadener overall, This seems off to me. Mass loaded vinyl certainly has good characteristics, but floor underlayment apparently has a higher STC rating. I was looking at options for insulating and sound deadening. I am also raising the floor and green glueing in order to soundproof. I am doing a decoupled wall method 2 layers of 5/8 with green glue on all walls and ceilings. Hi there, I am in the middle of the studio build, and I want to soundproof my floor and ceiling gap. ![]()
