I'm replacing the stapled up ceiling in the basement with drywall. I want to sound proof it from upstairs because this will be a theater room. What should I use to do this that will also be compatible with recessed lights and not be a fire hazard? BTW I'm totally redoing the walls with drywall also.

since my first posting I've found out that I'm expected to finish the drywall also. Fun huh? Anyway, I have done small jobs but nothing this large. I'm not sure where to start the finishing. I'm guessing the ceiling. What is the progression in finishing a room?
