I would kill for a cheap solution to building a sound isolation room. A place where I could sit and mix and master without my neighbor calling the cops...oh my god...I think I just...nm. You guys are worried about smells?! Good lord. You obviously live beautiful complaint lacking lives. from the point of view of the average broke as artist…you guys sound like you’re either rich or spoiled pros.

Just spend the money, it is not that much if that is how you make your living. (not only that, it most likely will last you a long time and has a high resale value). But if you are not a professional, why not just find a nice quiet room to record in? I have heard albums recorded in people's living rooms that sounded just fine. Especially if you are talking about electronic music or experimental music that isn't pure acoustic instruments. I think these kinds of ideas are popular among musicians as opposed to other professions, because a lot of "professional" musicians aren't really professionals.

Used in a studio you'd actually leave it open at night and the smell would probably fade away in a couple of months. More problematic IMO would be the inherent bass resonance of the hollow plastic walls. And the overall cost & time to put proper sound proofing.

As Oliver hinted at, the new plastic and rubber fumes would send me into a fever dream. Ack, I don’t know if I’d like to be in one of these things for an extended vocal recording session.

We saw a place last weekend that was far too small but had a huge outdoor space . We briefly wondered aloud if a shed like this might fit the bill to hold the studio out on the deck. Luckily we quickly came to our senses, but it was a gorgeous apartment. Oh the things apartment hunting in NY can do to you.
