    Congrats! That's a big move for the future. Have you thought about spray foam the sheetmetal structure. It would dampen the metal and create a good thermal barrier. Then frame a traditional wood framed wall as a sound barrier and integrated acoustic design.

    New studio is looking great man! Congrats 🎉 I’ve been working on a open concept for a couple of years since I got into recording mixing and producing, and it’s the best thing ever, I’m never going back. My studio is very similar in structure, but way smaller. My humble recommendation would be to invest as much as you can on acoustic isolation because in my experience metal is not a barrier for low frequencies even with some isolation. An air gap inbetween the inner wall and outer wall will work but might not be enough. Anyway, I’d personally love to see the step by step process from now on!! Since I’m planning to move and build another bigger/better space. Good luck!!

Biggest questions in my mind at first start to circle around insulation, ventilation, effects of inside/outside temperature differences and possible moisture build up inside the structure because of that. And after that, soundproofing.

I’ve been following you for a long time, fell off for a while, but I decided to check in again to see where you’re at now. What a blessing to have this new space to work in. Best of luck to you brother, keep the videos coming! You’ve taught me very much in my own journey, and I hope your journey continues to be productive and fruitful! Can’t wait to see the next studio update once you get everything set up the way you want it! I know you’ve already got a vision for that new space, and I can’t wait to see that vision come to light! Also, it’s been a while since I’ve checked in on your videos, so idk how to support your vision now, but send me a link and I’ll be happy to show support. And I hope that others who have learned from you will do the same to the best of their ability. This is a tough industry to work in, and we all owe our credits to those who have pioneered their way to get where they are. Even a little bit of generosity from the followers who learn from you can go a long way. Hope you and the kiddos are doing well today brother!

    Hey man, thanks so much for such a cool comment. Yeah, I'm doing great actually, I just needed some time off to regroup. I just posted a big chart that shows my new approach called the "Organic Recording Method" and it's helping me stay grounded in all the chaos of planning out videos and content creation. If you want to support me, that's amazing, and the best way is through course or membership. I also might make a membership here on KZread and then disable ads on new videos, because I think it's the right thing to do for people who wanna learn.

Options are always good to have. Wish you the best :)

    I'm a composer and professional singer, not a pro engineer, but I'm building a studio building myself. The project has gotten a bit long in the tooth and I've somewhat run out of steam, but I work every day and I've got youtube running in my in-ears while working for comfort. After nine other random but great videos from you had played, this one pops up. It made me feel less alone and feel some kinship with you 😊 Good luck and don't forget to grab hold of that work enthusiasm when it visits. And when you feel that enthusiasm DON'T LET GO OF IT! Edit: There's lots of videos I'd like to see from you, but I should get on with the outdoor insulation. I'll try and remember to get back to you. Edit2: Video ideas: 1. When you build something like this from the ground up, what are the advantages you can leverage, apart from acoustics such as designing for a good bass response from the ground up? 2. (In case your're planning to be hands on with this) studio cabling and lighting. I personally don't even know whom to ask. The electricians here in Austria are very competent, but they don't know the first thing about what to consider when wiring for audio 3. Nothing to do with the studio, but I'm currently obsessed with this after hearing some examples: making/using old-school carbon microphones creatively 4. How to buy a studio drum-set when you're not a drummer 5. How to let your kids visit you in your studio without endangering your gear 😅

Is temperature an issue? I'm in southern Ontario and it can get pretty cold here in the winter. I'm wondering what insulation needs would look like? Cheers.

    Hey Ryan, love your videos. I’m really curious to see your progress. I’ve built a studio behind my house (or rather, turned a cinderblock garage into a studio) that’s about 24 x 14 I think. Instead of having additional walls built, I used combinations of spray foam, an air gap, and kinetics isolation hooks. Even though I felt I went to great lengths, it just isn’t isolated enough. And, hilariously, my neighbor got a rooster that’s next to it. So if I had to caution you at all, I would go the extra mile on external isolation before it’s too late. A friend down the road has a back building that did 2x6 staggered studs and you can still hear things like birds chirping outside. I realize it can never be perfect, but it’s embarrassing to ask a client to come back when your neighbor isn’t mowing the yard. -Carson

    Cool. I want to do the same. Please document and post as much as you can! I’m curious where you go with the outer walls. I’ve read a lot of studio build books and follow along in specific message boards. If you are trying to soundproof.. they say you need to build your walls with mass in an air tight 2 leaf configuration.. Mass, Air Gap, Mass. So, it might not be in the budget but, you might want to add 3/4” ply or sheet rock to the inside of the outside sheet metal walls.

    I bought a metal 18x36 building - still slowly doing stuff to it. . . I paid 6 k for it - 10 ft walls on the side. Spray foam the ceiling (closed cell) minimum. The metal sweats - and even reflective double bouble won't prevent a leak if the nylon around the screws go bad. . . My plan for mine - spray foam the top - use double bouble reflective insulation (be sure to have strips to keep it an inch off the walls - Amazon sells reflective insulation that has a closed cell foam core. Then - 2x6 walls off set - filled with earth wool.
