Today me and my wife's step dad set about building a purpose build studio in the garden. We are at the very beginning of the project. The available space we have to work in is 13'(w)x13'(L)x8'(h). We are currently clearing the space at the end of the garden and are about to start drawing up some plans. My build skills are limited but he has built many outdoor structures before.
Im well aware that a cubic shape is the worst possible for acoustics so i thought id get some advice before we draw up the plans. What id like to do is build the shell to the 13'x13'x8' dimensions then build a shell inside that, i can insulate it to help soundproof, and also get the right shape/dimensions to make it a sound good acoustically. The studio will be about 50' from the nearest house so i don't need to soundproof it perfectly, but would like to get the noise down considerably so i don't ruin peoples summers in their gardens by having to listen to drums and loud guitars.
What would be the best design for the interior room and also any advice on the material of insulation would be very useful.
I am on a budget but i know a manager at a trade store here in the u.k so i can get materials at their cost+vat+5% so id rather source materials for there. So is there an insulation on this website thats preferable?
