the second question i had on the iso booth was the door.

i know there is a brand of door that is "the one" to get for sound-lock
purposes.

there are many brands and makers of accustic doors.


but i'm looking for something that isn't 350 pounds and doesn't cost
$900.

any door that makes an effective sound barrier will have a significant
amount of mass. the least cost trade-off is to use a solid core door with
rubber seals around the edges and a mechanical threshold that drops down
when the door is closed.

an "automatic door bottem" can be seen here

i'd almost be tempted to use a double-paned sliding glass door if i
could find one that wansn't too huge and had awesome "suction" on the
seals when you close it (preferably making some sort of star trek
"schhhhwit" sound when it closes fully).


i inherited a studio once that had a sliding glass door between studios. it
worked equally well in the open or closed position. we replaced it with a
wall.
