The big questions, only one of which can probably only be guessed at

2 foot 6 inches wide each, and there are eight of them, along with a 12
foot square big one at the end.) with a small thermal gap and a 12 inch
audio gap keep enough noise out?",


Yes, but it will change the sound of the reflections off the windows, which
may or may not be an issue.

Get an acoustician in who is familar with studio requirements, just to take
a quick look-through. There are plenty of big names out there... call one
of them and ask if they can recommend someone nearby.

I'll see what happens with my offer first. There's a week or two to go
yet, it's fairly quiet already, and will be quieter after I seal the
doors properly. Both sets are like an airlock, so using sealing foam on
the inside pairs will help a lot, though may mean I need forced
ventilation if I get an audience in.
