I don't see it addressed at the link site, and I couldn't post a comment there for some reason, but everybody, please, please be aware of fire issues, especially if you're doing stuff with sand-loaded doors and insulation. PInk rigid foam insulation is extremely flammable, and easy to put in wrong.
Huge horrible fire in a Rhode Island club a few years ago, because first one numbnut put up egg-carton foam to insulate for sound, and another numbnut set off a light show. But a lighter or electrical short would do it, too. It would be so stupid to make a cool podcast room and end up dying in it.
