I'm in the process of finishing my basement and would like to know if it's worth instualting the ceiling or not for sound. I'm using resilient channel with 5/8 drywall because I would like to keep sound transfer to a minimum, however, I also know it's beneficial to leave it uninsulated to help with heating(the floor above).
I am currently planning on using R20 in the ceiling with the resilient channel and 5/8 drywall, but would like to hear other opnions on it. I can't imagine the heat idea outweighing the sound proofing, but what do i know.
Thanks in advance!
