Thanks for all these posts! I have a follow up to some of them. In the basement is there a need for "genie clips" behind the sheet rock to stop the transfer of sound to the upstairs? Also, what is the deal with the "stage"? I understand that it may look nice, but are the acoustical reasons for it or any other designs?
Thanks, Jonathan

The Clip/Tracks will help de-couple the ceiling boards from the floor joists(My last house had those in each bedroom as we were in the line of fire for one of the runways from the airport) giving you some dead air space. It will help, how much, I can't say. I would still use Safe & Sound insulation as well as the clips/track to maximize the sound deadening effect.
