- 1). Select the location for your studio. If there are walls there now, strip everything right back to the bare walls. Line the walls with studio foam, insulation or an acoustical mat.
- 2). Install studs at 8-foot lengths on the walls, floor and ceiling. In doing this, you are creating a barrier of air that will help to insulate the studio.
- 3). Run wiring for electrical outlets and be sure to frame in an opening for a door or doors. You should consider the size of the door so musicians can easily bring in their instruments and other items. The doors will also be specially constructed for music studios.
- 4). Complete the room by adding another layer of sound insulation, then cover the walls and ceilings with drywall. Lay the subfloor, under pad and carpeting.
- 5). After you install and hang the door and paint the studio, you are ready to start recording.
