How to Build a Soundproof Music Studio (Part 2)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Thinking of building your own soundproof music studio in your garden? Here's part 2 where I show you how the studio was built - the process, cost and techniques that worked! I managed to build it for under £20,000 - it's fully insulated with acoustic glass windows, acoustic security door and a room-in-a-room design for extra sound isolation. I have electrics and internet, heating and acoustic treatment....and if I can do it, so can you!
Below are the basic costs (at the end of 2022) when the price of everything had gone up (of course!) but it still came in under budget.

Thanks for watching, I hope you can build your studio too!

Excellent work! Great explanation of all the build elements as well, big help thank you!!
Nice, congrats
This video was fab. Best wishes for your new studio I hope you spend many many hours making fab music and video in it.
Thanks Bronagh it’s amazing how a small space can make such a big difference!
I have watched it and think it's fabulous! I have "made" my own counselling office 7 years ago. It wasn't me, but my handyman. It is absolutely worthwhile and because it didn't needed to be soundproof at all ( counselling isn't noisy) it costed me £7000,00 to redo it. It's truly amazing to have a space which you can call your own.
That sounds great Joanna! Yes the soundproofing bit takes time and more budget. I reckon my main build was about the same as yours.
Well done Al - looks AMAZING!!!
Thanks Mich!! You’ll have to come round for a cuppa sometime! ❤
Well done for posting it online too!!
I wanted to help people who are about to build one too - I needed a video like this!
Great videos and amazing studio! I love it!
Thanks Clare…perfect for writing songs for books 😉
I have watched a lot of studio build video and you are right women are almost non present in the studio build enthusiast. As a man, I’m glade women start to joint the “party”. It brings on different perspectives and opinions to the tables. Great build! Did you meet your sound proofing expectations?
Thanks - great comment! Yes the soundproofing is great - I still hear the occasional seagull (I live by the sea) but I don't think any building made of wood could keep them out! - but they're barely audible. If I crank up my amp and play/sing at full volume it can be heard directly outside, but I never actually do that! So it suits me perfectly!
nice job
Would you be able to provide instrumentals to a few your songs?
Yes, I have instrumentals for pretty much all my songs...let me know what you'd like!
@@AlStart Let’s harvest, September 1666, Little green men, brand new day, the geography song and the change a little song
i hope you make part 3: Testing the soundproof from outside
Hi Elson - yes I will do that - good idea!
Rockwool play the biggest role
And separating the inner "room" from the outer frame as much as possible. That's the key. I also have opted for bigger windows, but keeping these teeny and using acoustic glass or adding another layer is also a great idea.
Hi how much did it cost to build this?
Hi thanks for the question - sorry I only just saw it! I had a budget of £20k and came in under budget at around £18k for the actual build, then I bought some furniture and decorated and did the flooring for around another £1000.
