Soundproofing


I have an unfinished basement space, roughly 1000 sqft that I would like to convert to a TV and 2-channel listening room. The ceiling is open floor joists to to the first floor, any recommendations on soundproofing materials that I could use to rough finish between the joists. Floor/ceiling joists are 2x10's.

Thanks,
David

Double sheet rock on resilient channel is the way to go.  Also, filling the space with the recommended insulation.  The installation of the sheetrock on the channel needs to be perfect.  Any stray screws into the structure will defeat the purpose of the channel.  Also, any air gaps / holes need to be filled with acoustic calk.
