Small studio in 3D

Quick question. Is it necessary to seal the back of the flush mount and side wall units? I have a lot of room behind these structures for fluffy insulation and was wondering if leaving them open would simply leave them broadband?

Hi there legends, [first post] :? I have a carport which is a little bigger than this Small Studio design by John. I am trying to get the shape right basically but main difference I have between the original design and requirements is the ceiling which is A frame and my lack of walls. I have done a mock-up in Sketchup where the existing structure (double brick) is in pink and panel additions in purple and drywall in powder blue. {I'm new to the software so have tried to just indicate the ideas so you can imagine walls and ceiling pls as I don't know how to build all in without making it look hell confusing and messy}[Also I could not attach over 500kb sketchup file so had to export into 2D jpgs to upload] The ceiling is high a-frame, the "control room" will also be the live room and I was thinking of leaving ceiling as is structurally. I would build ceiling onto drum room though(!?) Apart from the ceiling, the other big question is the angle of the end wall in the drum room, I'd rather have the window out (onto beautiful garden) than the angled wall so wonder if I need to change the angle of another wall ? I appreciate things are best done properly but I will have to fudge it using what resources I have at my disposal. I am in lockdown so this will be my project, I have limited funds due to a swathe of cancelled gigs and need to get the bones of the project done in the next couple of weeks as I can't make enough noise in current house situ to record/produce, I will just have to gather/DIY-build the internal materials and treatment from 2nd hand items as I can. I am using insulated sandwich panels 50mm thick (2.56h x0.9w) with 80gcm rockwool between thin plastic and metal layer as my instant walls and drum room ceiling quick build option. I only have nearfield monitors and large PA at the moment so not sure if control room soffit styles is really necessary so have removed but maybe should have kept angled wall sections?. I do want the room to be large enough to get to bass guitar notes accurately, 41Hz will do! I won't be able to compete with other studios but this will be my own label production work space. So once again, ---- main concerns are ceiling and drum room wall and that overall design can be imperfectly stretched a little without too much negative effects ---- Have i gone too far away from original for this design to be useable? Workable space is 6.65m x 4.4m m ceiling is 4.3 m at high point. [Maybe I should go long ways instead of across for control/live room and have smaller wacky drum room idk :shot: ] Any suggestions appreciated cheers! Ahva Dub

welcome! could you post some photos of the existing structure? maybe flesh out the SU model with the current walls and windows etc. doors, etc. and post that here as well. it's also helpful to understand the requirements for isolation and working habits. for example, drums make a lot of sound. do you have neighbors who will find that problematic at 3am? do you need multiple rooms? you'll definitely need a utility closet for your HVAC equipment if you're sealing the place up (isolation). what are you using this for? personal? rock bands? need isolation booths? amp closet? rough budget (helps to ensure the design can be built within your expected budget). cheers!
