What exactly goes into a recording studio build? If you're thinking about setting up a home recording studio, there are plenty of factors to consider beyond the basic needs for equipment. The location, size and layout of the space can have a huge impact on sound quality and other functional aspects of recording.
Here are some of the nuances to remember when setting up a home studio:
Where is the best place in your home to add a studio? Ideally, it should be a place with minimal outside distraction that's still easily accessible. It's also important to consider the comfort of your fellow residents and avoid putting a recording studio right next to a child's bedroom, for example.
Basements make an excellent place for studio spaces, but might require a bit of basic renovation before they're pleasant to spend time in. The right lighting, furnishings and creature comforts can turn even the creepiest basement into a stylish and cozy studio.
Lifting the floors improves acoustics in your studio while limiting the amount of noise transference to other parts of the house. To DIY studio floors, try simply laying wood over foam blocks. You can cover the wood with cozy area rugs to complete the effect.
In recording studios, all gaps and cracks should be patched and filled with soundproofing. Not only does this assist with reducing reverb, it keeps the studio quiet from the outside.
However, you also need to breathe! Proper ventilation in a studio is critical, so take plenty of "open door" breaks and consider adding a fan or silent air purifier.
A professional recording studio is full of equipment like monitors and digital audio workstations, but there are other important factors to consider before you move any furniture or buy any gear. Focus on these key things when building your own DIY recording studio to have the best possible experience making music at home.

Fantastic agent and an amazing person! It was an absolute pleasure working with Mina. She is extremely knowledgeable, flexible and patient. She handled my families probate of 9 properties. She was able to sell all the properties in a timely manner and we received top dollar for all the properties, even the ones that were in rural areas.
Wendy Mina is amazing. Don't hire anyone else for your real estate needs. She helped me so much. She is not about making the most money. She wants her clients to be happy and goes out of her way to make things happen. She is worth more than the commission!!!
Mina is amazing!! She really helped my fiancé and I in our home search. We were working with another realtor prior to her and we were not very happy as he didn’t seem to be very proactive when it came to helping us look for homes. Meeting Mina was a life saver as we were going to put the home search on hold, but the first time I spoke to Mina she was ready and willing to go show us homes that same day. I was so impressed with her eagerness to show us homes and contacting selling agents to get all the information. She is very knowledgeable in what she does and was able to walk us thru every step, as we were first time home buyers. I am very please that we found her and will definitely recommend her in the future!
Mina is caring and charitable, and with over a decade’s worth of experience in real estate, knows the real estate market well. She is actively involved in the community, especially with our local neighborhood school, always looking for solutions to benefit children, education, and the community at large. If you’re in the market for a new home, make the move & reach out to her today!
