Haven't posted for a while, so figured I'd add something. I've taped/mudded the entire tv room, but it's not terribly exciting, thus no post lately. I just started adding a second layer of drywall to the ceiling for sound deadening. So - one layer of 1/2" drywall, a layer of green glue compound, and another 1/2" layer of drywall. Doing this should create a barrier for the sound. Basically, the green glue spaces out the second layer of drywall so all the sound resonating / vibrating against the closest layer of drywall isn't transferred to the next layer of drywall. Not sure how effective it will be, but it's a test. I got the stuff locally as it was cheaper than online. The standard is one 28oz tube to one 4x8' sheet of drywall. Here's a few pics of the process.

It was recommended to mud and tape the first layer, as you see. Wasn't sure what drywall screws to get so I got some 1 5/8" and 2" screws. Turned out 2" were definitely better. Of course, I bought a huge box of 1 5/8" and a small box of 2"...
