Acoustics & Soundproofing Basics For Project Recording Studio Spaces
ProSoundWeb: The science of acoustics is something that tends to alternately baffle and intimidate most of us. Outside of a handful of highly trained individuals, the aspects of what makes a room sound a certain way is looked upon as a sort of black art.

This article was quite insightful to getting a basic understanding of what one should look for when needing to renovate or build their own recording space. Further, it also highly emphasized that doing this properly is an involved process that requires careful planning and consideration in materials usage, space requirements, and achieving the desired sound proofing effect and or acoustics for the space. What interested me is if different materials at large thicknesses provide drastically different acoustic qualities and what determines those acoustic qualities? If there is enough of a material to prevent sound from escaping, are acoustics just dependent on their ability to be absorbed by the material or is there a qualitative aspect about the vibration of the material itself that impacts this? The more I look into sound design and acoustics, the more I realize I do not understand even though particular principles of proper sealing and adequate planning are essential to these industries.
