One of our supporters arranged the donation of enough Auralex 2" foam control foam to cover a 12' wide section of studio wall.
Here's the problem: As our studio is in a building on a National Historic site, we cannot glue them to the existing sheet rock. What's unique about the site no drywall compound is used - all the seams are covered by 2" x 1/4" thick wooden battens.
We are looking at 5/8 fire-rated plywood to glue the foam to. We can remove the battens and screw the plywood to the wall studs in the area that would be hidden by the battens.
Herre's where a consult is needed - I received a suggestion to glue a layer of sheet rock to the plywood, and glue the acoustic foam to it (supposedly more mass, better sound control).

is the sheet rock a good or bad idea?
