Work-station in an apartment

[Tha Professor]

Let's say the floors are hardwood and the place has high ceilings. What would the best methods be of isolating as much sound as I can. Double carpeting? Maybe put something in between them? Does my subwoofer need to be on something maybe? Please post your tips and experiences working in an apartment. Would be really helpful.
Thanks

Move. No diss, but your neighbors will be complaining, unless u live in a dorm (everybody is loud) or one of those artist lofts that some cities have. The only other option is to build a room within a room. The bass will be a problem.

As long as you have near field monitors and do not mix/ make music later than around 9 you will be fine, people fail to realize you do not have to have you monitors blaring to mix correctly or make beats. I make music out of my apartment with 6" events and have yet to get a complaint.

I think ima have to go for an apartment.. I make music really late and sometimes i can get really crazy with the volume. Did you do anything to the floors/walls around your monitors?

Two bass traps and a little treatment behind speakers and walls, not much to be honest.

It is impossible to isolate (soundproof) any room without construction. Extra carpeting, "soundproofing foam", etc will not help despite all the things floating around the internet about it. You can treat the room to get more accurate monitoring in the room, but you might want to get a pair of solid headphones for late night sessions.

I'll echo most things said here. Having worked out of a apartment for years, the best defense against noise complaints is a good pair of headphones. Aside from that, if you have hardwoods, Put some nice plush carpet and underpad down. Treat the room with bass traps and such. While the treatment may not help too much with soundproofing, you will at least have good acoustics for when listening to monitors at a reasonable level. Have your speakers/subs on some dampening foam so as to try and cut vibrations from traveling through the walls/floors.

Really in a apartment, there isn't a whole lot you can do.
