In pro audio circles it's always advised to use resilient channel to install the plasterboard. Probably more of a faff but it effectively decouples the plasterboard from the wall, which has to be a good thing. Also, a double layer of acoustic plasterboard apparently makes a very big difference. Oh, and google "green glue". Seemed to be very popular when I was researching a studio build, again used for decoupling.
My experience is also that air gaps are a big source of noise leakage, although if you seal everything you then have to think about ventilation...
I want to build a music room in my basement so I'll need to be looking into this too... although I think my main issues will be moisture and ventilation rather than sound proofing.
