Crafting the Perfect Studio for Tom McFarland of 
Doing what we do best! – building a next-level studio! Sonically outstanding, incredible isolation and impecable finishing.
When Tom McFarland of Jungle approached us to convert an old garage into a recording studio, we knew we had a challenge on our hands—specifically, preventing sound leakage to the neighboring flats. With our reputation on the line and a high-profile client trusting our expertise, failure wasn’t an option. As you can see, the project was a complete success, and the studio is now fully operational!
A big thank you to Joe Armitage @joearmitagedesign for the lighting and architectural input. Speakers (as always) calibrated by Chris Allen @roomsonics.
“We’re really pleased with our new studio installed by Audio Schemes Ltd. The team were professional, easy to deal with, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was delivered to a high standard.”
Thank you!
As a client for a studio building company it doesn’t come any bigger or more distinguished than Fender! We were honoured to be asked to build Fenders new ATMOS studio at their central London HQ.
To work for such an iconic brand was a fantastic experience and will stay with us for a long time to come.
HOME RECORDING STUDIO
Music Studio for Dave Emery
Audio Schemes had the pleasure of building a home garden studio for Dave Emery, one of the world’s leading Dolby Atmos engineers and the man behind albums for Ed Sheeran, Miley Cyrus, Lewis Capaldi, U2, Foo Fighters and many more.
Dave’s new Dolby Certified studio allows him to work unrestricted without having to worry about sound bleeding in and just as importantly sound bleeding out.
Dave wasted no time working in the new studio with his first mix being the currant album for Liam Gallagher and John Squire.
“My new home studio “Electric Mud” – named after my favourite Muddy Waters album.
Audio Schemes and I created a vision of how we wanted the home studio to feel. Nick and his team worked endlessly hard to create a space finished to an exceptional standard.
I’ve held back from posting about it as I wanted to see the results first, but after mixing in stereo and Dolby for 4 months in it I can happily say it sounds incredible and the results are amazing! I couldn’t be happier.”
Watch this quick video to see(and hear) how good our sound isolation really is!
Fantastic new garage studio for a producer / composer.
GARAGE STUDIO
Music Studio for Marco Meniconi
New mastering studio built in a garage.
“Audio Schemes have just finished my new mastering studio built in my garage. The workmanship and knowledge was first rate and the results are astonishing. Superb sound performance in a floating room construction.
Fantastic soundproofing and isolation, incredible acoustics and first class finishing touches throughout. My masters have never sounded this good and that is largely due to the room I am working in. I can only say World Class. If you need a studio built, you really cannot do better than Audio Schemes.
I’ve been in studios all round the world and can honestly say this is up there with the best.
I’m over the moon with my newly built mastering studio.
Nick and his team have done a world class job. Five stars all the way.
There are not enough words to express how amazing my new mastering studio is thanks to Audio Schemes superb build.”
“I feel I now have a room to rival any of the big commercial studios”

WHO WE ARE
Audio Schemes Ltd are the UK’s premier home studio, design and build company. Offering professional studios within homes to our UK and International clients.
If you are looking for a professional studio in your home, garage or garden then Audio Schemes can help you realise your dream. We have been delivering home studios for over 25 years with a wealth of experience and a learning curve few can match.
Peruse our picture gallery and the testimonials from industry professionals to get a feel of what we can offer you.
We offer soundproofing solutions in various packages, tailored to different needs. For drum studios, we provide high-end soundproofing for maximum noise isolation. Additionally, we have a specialised package designed for mixing and mastering engineers, offering effective sound control without the extra levels required by drum setups.
Our home studios have different internal acoustic finishes depending on what your studio is to be use for. As an example, our mastering and mixing clients want an exceptionally dry space, while live music clients like a bit more diffusion. We will always guide you based on your requirements.
If needed we can guarantee your neighbours won’t be disturbed by midnight drum sessions and as importantly, they won’t disturb you, especially if you’re one of our mixing and mastering clients who require a critical listening space.
All our studios are a “room in a room” construction, with the higher end package offering (full acoustic) fabric stretch linings, acoustic ventilation and AC.
One of the big benefits of taking the jump and having a home studio is rent free use and no more commuting with a studio that’s available 24/7 if your work flows require it.
We have a short video real of the levels of isolation offered which is a must see if you’re worried about what really can be achieved.
We have independent test data on the levels of isolation we offer (click here) to review our test data.
If it’s a garden studio then we can take care of all planning requirements if needed and can guide you on what’s available through permitted planning regulations. Generally mixing/mastering studios are covered by permitted development and very rarely need planning consent unless larger studios are needed.
Take a few minutes to see what we offer and compare us to the other companies on your short list and then book a free home visit to start your journey to owning a professional home studio.
Thank you for visiting and we hope to see you soon!

Crazy to think this has been built in a garage!”
Music Studio in an Unusual Space
DJ Fresh
“Audio Schemes recently built my new studio. I heard about them from a friend who had them design a set of studios for a difficult space in London and he was blown away with their work. Having experienced a bad room, which I’d tried everything and everybody to remedy (Including some of the most established studio builders in the country) I know the importance a good room has on your output. If you can’t hear what you’re doing it’s not only impossible, with all the tools in the world, to get a good mix. More importantly it stifles your creativity and makes working with audio frustrating and unenjoyable. The room the guys built sounds FANTASTIC, and Most incredibly being in a former garage much to my surprise I couldn’t hear a pin drop outside or above even with the crazy bass and volume that i work with. The boys were an absolute pleasure to have around and I genuinely miss them being here. Thank you so much Nick, Jordan, Dan and Danny for everything .. I’m sure your hard work will reap benefits for years to come.”

Stephen Root – Vice President, Development Creative Services
“The attention to detail on our studio build was amazing. Nick Langley’s acoustic knowledge has been formed from building such a wide variety of studies over so many years. He explains everything in real life terms for what you are going to be built, without being bamboozled by science.
It’s what the multi functional control room sounds like that’s the most important, and what Nick and his specialist team built, has come from years of experience of what works the best.”
New garage studio for the DJ/Producer, Stonebank
“As a producer who spends an unhealthy amount of hours in the studio every day, the room sounding & looking equally as good is paramount.
Audio Schemes went above and beyond my expectations and made the process from empty garage to dream working environment seamlessly.
Nothing was too much trouble and I couldn’t be happier with the results, I highly recommend them 100%.
Thanks again, love going to work every morning because of this room mate!”

Independent Acoustic testing
Out of all the company’s you will have no doubt contacted, how many have independent acoustic test data on the levels of isolation they can actually guarantee? We have a full test report on our garden demonstration studio showing the extremely high levels of sound attenuation we offer if needed. The report is based on a “room in a room“ construction with wall depths of only 300mm!
Click the link below to read the report which makes for interesting reading for those who want to see what really can be achieved.
All our studios are lined internally with acoustic stretch fabric wall linings coming in over 25 different colours. We don’t build garden offices ,we build garden studios which are worlds apart.
