But the gear is only part of the equation when it comes to recording and mixing. The next part is finding a soundproof room that you can produce it in. Unfortunately, any old room in your house will not suffice for a quality recording. Without a decent room, you'll never be able to record a studio-quality recording you'll be proud of and excited to have other people hear. So how do you go about creating a space in your home that has similar acoustics to that of a world-class studio? How do you soundproof this room to keep your sound in and outside noise out? How do you construct or modify the room so that its size and shape best complement its function? HOME RECORDING STUDIO: BUILD IT LIKE THE PROS, SECOND EDITION teaches you how to do all these things, from building a professional home studio to saving thousands of dollars in the process. This book teaches you how to design and understand your room - how to treat it, wire it, and condition it - while using widely available materials. Each step features visual aids to illustrate underlying concepts, as well as professional tips and examples from actual studios. Everything is covered, from room design to electrical considerations, from room treatments to codes, permits, special needs, and more. Review: Essential For Your Recording Studio Building Library - Once again, Rod Gervais as created one of the essential tools for designing and building your home recording studio. This book contains the critically important details needed to be successful with your recording studio project. Rod provides the background information and links to more detail and so focuses on the design and construction in a pragmatic way. The information on design, site selection, framing, HVAC, electrical, acoustic treatment, and more provides the details needed to do it yourself, or have or contractor do it, correctly to obtain the best possible isolation, acoustics, and safety (often overlooked in many other books on this topic). In this edition, Rod introduces us to new (but tried-and-true) options for drastically increasing isolation using floating walls, floors, and ceilings to enable studios to be built in very challenging spaces where isolation is crucial and success for the studio requires staying in budget and building it in a timely fashion. Review: Other good reads are "Studio Builders Handbook" by Owsinski (I recommend ... - I may be building from the ground up and I will refer to this to design all aspects. Other good reads are "Studio Builders Handbook" by Owsinski (I recommend as a 1st read it is very easy to go through) and "Handbook of Sound Studio Construction" Rooms for Recording and Listening" by Pohlmann ( I like Pohlmann's approach, cut to the chase then more details in later chapters if you need to go there). Rod Gervais is VERY knowledgeable and has credentials and real life experience out the wazoo. He can get utterly technical at times but you can just skip to what you really care about as needed. This book is like the total source you can whittle down to what you need.

TOTALLY RECOMMEND! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent (Practically Indespensible Resource) *by J***. on March 12, 2014* This really is a superlative tool for making the most out of your recording studio. Ultimately the greatest investment you can make in a studio is in the space - and this book helps you make clear, informed decisions on how to do so. The author does not bury you in information but rather presents a nice balance of acoustic theory with practicality for construction. Moreover, if you are interested in exploring the physics of acoustics in a more exhaustive manner, he points you to resources to be able to do so. Honestly, if there is one thing that you buy to help you in obtaining a better sound for your recordings it is this book; not a piece of outboard gear or a microphone. Bravo to the author. ## Frequently Bought Together - Home Recording Studio: Build It Like the Pros - Handbook of Sound Studio Construction: Rooms for Recording and Listening - Master Handbook of Acoustics, Seventh Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1705385-home-recording-studio-build-it-like-the-pros](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1705385-home-recording-studio-build-it-like-the-pros) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
