Cool studio! One thing to note, is that room ratios go out the window when you have a vaulted ceiling. Room ratios assume a flat ceiling.
They do, but they still work with axial modes front to back and side to side.
Great video! Hoping to build a recording studio for my harp recordings if we get the house we’re trying for.
Go for it!
Good high level concept, but when it comes to the actual acoustic treatment you need waaay more than that to properly trap and /or attenuate bass. You’ll need a mix of pressure traps and limp bag traps.
You are right! Super low bass frequencies will need a pressure trap to properly attenuate, but this design will get you going for sure. Thanks for watching.
Amazing & extremely generous information! Out of curiosity, how would you go about installing sound insulation around a supporting open truss in a dual pitch roof room?
I have a video on that on my channel. Just search the vids. Thanks for watching.
@@soundproofyourstudio many thanks - what’s the video called? I can’t find it.

I have this same issue. And thank you very much for this video because it confirms the plans in my head about building my studio in the garage.
Amazing video, thank you so much for these!
Question for ya. Using your same design in the garage, if you had to build a flat top ceiling that was decoupled from your vaulted outer ceiling, how would you go about doing that to be structurally sound as much as possible? (Meaning the ceiling won't fall on you while you're in there...
For more context, I'm using a super similar design as you are showing (but for a drum/jam/recording room), and also have an external vaulted garage, but I want the sound room to be totally independent of the garage trusses / rafters.
Thank you for the help!
You can build an independent ceiling off your inner studs or attach to existing roof with hat channels, but you would need to spray foam first for moisture control.
This is great man, thanks. How would you run electrical in this case?
I would either run it directly from my house panel or have an electrician install a sub panel specifically for the studio.
I wanted one little just to record drums and maybe 2 more or 3 mucisian, what size do you recommend ?
How does the channeling system for the roof actually stop sound from traveling through considering it's all connected still? You assume the sound would still vibrate through the c channel and into those clips?
Awesome content also!
Great question. It would be more isolated if you built the ceiling rafters off of your inside wall, however this does sacrifice ceiling height. That is the trade off. The hat channel clips are designed to reduce sound transmission so it is not the same as drywall directly attached to your ceiling joists. Thanks for watching!
Would building the two walls you have as attached to the garage as actually separate from the garage, be better? Like a room within a room, with both rooms not touching the garage walls? Also, would a foot of space between each wall filled with insulation, be better than a one or two inch space?
Finally, how much more sound proofing would you expect using four sheets of 5/8 drywall (on the walls and ceiling), rather two sheets?
Sorry for all the questions!
Thanks for the great video
Yes, building an isolated room within a room within yet another room would offer more isolation, but take up more space. The more space between walls the better. As for doubling your drywall you can use Mass Law. Mass Law = for every doubling of mass you get 6db of sound reduction. To put that in perspective the human ear hears a doubling or halving of sound at + or - 10db. Hope this helps! You are thinking correctly.
Should I build the double wall with parallel or shifted studs ?
It depends on space needs
What software did you use to design this?

@@soundproofyourstudiothank you! Also! I’m trying to make sure my garage has enough power, can you provide a link for the AC unit you used?
How different is this for just voiceover? Some of the things you're speaking about doesn't seem to relate to VO. Thanks.
For voice over you may want less reflections so a more controlled room would need more acoustic treatment, but you would still want maximum isolation.
@@soundproofyourstudio Thanks👍🏾
