The preposition 'in' is very important with 'Studio'. Movement toward a studio is expressed with the accusative ('ins Studio' — to the studio), while staying or doing an activity inside it requires the dative ('im Studio' — in the studio).

He goes to the gym every other day.
Since 'Studio' has four different main meanings, context is crucial. Verbs like 'trainieren' (to train), 'aufnehmen' (to record), 'wohnen' (to live), or 'fotografieren' (to photograph) immediately make clear which type of studio is meant.
Ich gehe ins Studio, um zu trainieren.
I go to the gym to train.

'das Studio' and 'das Set' can both have to do with film, television, music, or photos, but they do not mean the same thing. A 'Studio' is a room or facility where things are produced or where people work. It can also be a photographer's or artist's workspace. A 'Set' is the actual place of the shoot, with scenery, lights, cameras, and equipment. A set can be in a studio, but also outside in a park or on a street.
