my garage studio build

converted my garage to 14'w by 20'l studio space with 8' ceilings.

took about a month working almost every day in brutal july heat.

floated all walls with isomax clips over hat channel. used osb, soundboard, 5/8 gypsum, and quietrock on some of the walls. acoustic sealant between layers.

once framing and walls were up, put in surface mounted electrical, some custom treatments and installed LED soffit lighting that is remote controlled.
final touch was ductless split mini ac unit.

ps- dont use cellulose insulation in pink insulation blower (see pics lol)

feel free to ask any questions about wall schedule or const tips. the all white studio isnt for everyone, but works for me! spent about 2 months researching and had a studio designer help with consulting.

Awesome job man! looks a bit messy though.. I would definitely go for a cleaner less-is-more approach. But other than that you did a remarkable work with that garage

I am doing a project very similar and am redoing a ceiling like the one you did. I am wondering much soundproofing I should do.

I have been thinking of doing mineral wool for most of the open space. Do I need to hang the ceiling slightly 9or rather have it floating?) and how many layers of green glue and drywall would you recommend?
