Learn from a University Professor at a Fraction of the Price
Personal Note From Your Instructor: Ken Candelas
This course is not for the faint of heart.
The challenge you will face is immense.
But do you want to compete with the best of the best from home? Yet, getting an education in acoustics and audio engineering can cost up to $30,000 for just one year! I teach at two universities... I know!
That's what Metal Studio Designer is about. It gives you the tools and ammunition to be able to build your own home studio the way you want, while understanding the principles of acoustics and electricity at its core... at an unbelievable fraction of the price!
Most students who go through a course like this come out even better at audio engineering!
But, you have to promise me something: are you going to go through it to get to it?
I will show you exactly what you need to reach the other side and become quite the acoustician yourself! However, it's going to be grueling...
Let's put the pedal to the metal and get that dream studio done! You've got everything you need here.

What Students are Saying about Metal Studio Designer
Informative and thorough...
Matt
This course helped me plan out my home studio...
"I used this studio construction project as a way to plan out my home studio, pick gear, and to make sure it was all within my budget. It was hard work and had a lot of moving pieces, but once it was done, I was happy with my choices. Going forward, I like to use my experience as ways to help others create their ideal home studio and not break the bank doing it."
