subject: Creating A Music Recording Space With Sips Garden Studios [print this page] Whether you play hard rock and roll, mellow acoustic folk or classic piano, having a music studio in your home can be a dream-come-true for your passion and your career. You can jam with your band-mates, record an album and practice your instrument in the best possible environment. It will also give you a place to store your instruments and recording equipment, knowing that it is safe from the elements. A studio can also be a peaceful and private sanctuary for you, a place where you can get lost in the feeling of the music and truly be inspired to compose something beautiful.
SIPS are one of the best materials to use for this type of building project, due to their many advantageous qualities. SIPS garden studios are made with an environmentally friendly, strong and easy to construct material. SIPS, otherwise known as structural insulated panels, are made with polyurethane foam sandwiched between plywood, creating a material which is very structurally sound and has excellent insulating properties. There are many reasons why SIPS garden studios are perfect for creating your home recording studio:
Your music studio will be in a separate structure from your main residence so that you can have privacy and not disturb those in the house while you are playing music.
SIPS have excellent soundproofing and insulation qualities. They can also be improved with many different types of additional sound insulation. There are also special internal finishes which can be used to improve the acoustic qualities of the building.
Garden studios can be designed with vaulted ceilings which allow the sound waves to travel around unimpeded. This creates an excellent acoustic space. You can also design a studio with no right angled walls, as these can sometimes create unwanted harmonics in the recordings.
SIPS garden studios are incredibly quick and easy to construct and once they are finished you will be able to move your equipment in immediately and start recording.
SIPS garden studios are insulated, plastered, double glazed and damp proofed. This means that your expensive musical instruments and recording equipment will be protected from the elements and from fluctuations in heat and humidity.
Rather than building an extension on your house to create a music studio, this type of SIPS garden studio will be much less inconvenient.
When you are commissioning a garden studio to be used as a recording space, you will want to work with the contractor to specify your particular needs. Make sure that they know what you are using the studio for so that they can custom design a space that will work best for playing and recording music. Once you have created your SIPS garden studio you will have a special place dedicated primary to your love of music. Enjoy!
