I have heard a lot about isolating the celing for better soundproofing using RSIC clips mounted to the joist and snapping the hat channel to it..leave 1/4 inchs from all the sides and attach the dry wall to this hat channel. I am a rookie so excuse me if I sound stupid but now this hat channel is made of metal right ? and when I install the dry wall on it I just use the dry wall screws to put this on ? . and once the first layer is done how does one go about attaching a second layer of drywall on the celing ?? if I have insulation in good amount on the celing and the celing is isolated and the drywall is a good 5/8 thickness can I get away with just one layer of dry wall... anyone has pictures close up of how this RSIC clips, hat channel and then the dry wall are attached ... I have seen numerous post trying to get a idea...
Regarding subfloor .. my current height of the basement is 7.5.. is there an cheaper and better solution of subflooring than DriCore subfloor ...The rest of the basement is not getting DriCore even if I go along with Dricore in the theater ... would that nullify the whole purpose?? what would be a better cheaper solution...and should that be done to the whole basement ??
