basement renovation - ideas?


I posted a question regarding speakers and got tons of great feedback. Thanks to everybody for that. My next question pertains to my complete basement renovation. What considerations should be taken when finishing the basement for optimal sound? The only thing this rookie has considered is 5/8" drywall opposed to something thin! Are there any products out there (without breaking the bank) that will help provide optimal sound quality? The room will be roughly 12x28 with 8 1/2 foot ceilings.

Thanks guys...

There is new acoustical drywall available. I don't know the details, but a Google search should do the trick. It is supposed to provide good acoustic insulation and be deader sounding than regular drywall.
