Yes you can, if on a wall screw it to the studs and run it horizontal 24" on center before the drywall. If you're only 3 layers of board put the 2 layers on the non resilient channel side, if 2 layers both side you can screw into the Resilient channel but it's a bitch. I've seen people cheat and use 20 gauge hat track in lieu of the resilient channel because it's easier to screw into but you won't find a design for that if you're trying to achieve a certain STC rating or have to do submitals.
