I'm getting ready to drywall the basement. The hometheater will be a single layer drywall with 5/8 ceiling and 1/2 walls. I was thinking of adding resilence channel to the walls and ceilings. Is there anything else I could do to decrease sound travelling? I heard of people using acoustic caulk, where is this used? between every edge or just top and bottom? doesn't it get squeezed out and make a mess during the mudding? Iwas going to use drywall for the soffits are there advatages in using mdf? and if so what size mdf? I have a cold air return that runs the length of the room 8" from the wall then another 8" space and a second heating duct. I was going to put an 8" strip of drywall in this area before I box the ducts in to reduce sound as there are pot lights going in one of the 8" spaces. What could be used aroungd the ducts to further reduce sound travelling?
Thanks Roy Brooks
