I will have two doors in my studio... entrance door (side of room) and closet door at rear of room. Would it make sense to have both of these as solid core doors?

It makes the most sense to have solid, non-vibrating surfaces in any studio. Hollow core doors will vibrate and resonate at a higher frequency than a solid core door.

It makes great sense to have drop-seal doors to external areas where noise might be a factor. (But these are pricy.)

We have "treated" doors by gluing Kenedy Barrier to both sides, but these were solid doors to start with. If you decide to do something like this, make sure that the hinges and support structure can handle the additional weight.

Michael,

Everything Bill said is correct, as usual, but I'll mention one other issue. When isolation to the outside is not important a hollow core door can be useful because it passes some of the lowest frequencies rather than reflect them back into the room.
