This week on the podcast, I had an awesome conversation with Drewsky, one of my clients who turned his garage into a professional recording studio. If you’ve ever thought about building your own soundproof space, this episode is packed with insights on what it takes to make it happen.

Drewsky walks us through his journey—from choosing the garage as the best location, to tackling the challenges of soundproofing, ventilation, and budgeting. He also shares how having a dedicated creative space has transformed his workflow and music production.

Here are some key takeaways from our conversation:

🎵 The garage was a great choice – It provided enough space and separation for soundproofing.

🔇 Soundproofing made a huge difference – Recording is now free from unwanted noise.

📐 Acoustic treatment is just as important – The studio’s dimensions and treatment dramatically impact sound quality.

💨 Ventilation matters – A well-designed system keeps the space comfortable without compromising soundproofing.

💰 Budgeting is crucial – Building a studio requires planning, but the investment pays off.

🎶 A dedicated studio fuels creativity – Having a private space allows for deeper focus and better recordings.

We also dive into the technical side of things—how studio dimensions affect usability, why team dynamics are key to a smooth build, and the long-term value of investing in professional soundproofing.
