As others have suggested, install some kind of conduit. If that's not feasible, go ahead and install 2-4 runs of balanced shielded audio cable (or bulk snake cable) and 2-4 runs of CATx networking cable. You might not need it, but it's easier (and tidier) to run extra all at once than to have to pull more in later.

Having at least 4 runs of audio cable will allow you to feed multiple signals back and forth.

The extra runs of network cable will allow you to create discrete network segments for different purposes without having to manage VLANs. It will also allow you to use "X-over-CATx" solutions like HDMI extenders while still having Internet access.

This project isn't connecting a snake to a console.  It's about getting internet from my office to my studio.
My snake/console/drums/guitars is all in one room.  Was just thinking about running one or two audio lines in case I ever wanted to pull a guitar or vocal signal to my office.

I think most of us were under the impression that your office was your control room since you mentioned having an audio interface there.
Given the simple use case you describe, I would just pull spare CATx and use it for analog signals when needed. Jack plates on either end will make it quite flexible and clean when not in use.

Unless you are running a data center in the house, for a few simple flows of Dante between a couple of pairs of devices I don’t think you need vlans. Keep it simple.

Got ya.  The audio interface in my office is a couple of channels.  Usually I use it for throwing some scratch guitar tracks using one of my Fractal devices...or DAW editing.
I think I'm settled on putting a pair of CAT6 cables and having them connected to Jack Plates in each room.

Thanks for the input.

That's a neat product I hadn't seen before.
It looks like it would be difficult to push a fish tape through bends due to the ribs. Any experience with that?

Looks a lot nicer than smurf pipe.

Is the router in another room?  I would run a plate high up on a wall to put a nice AP in like a Ubiquity Unifi. 

Personally if the router is in another room I would put a small switch in the studio then run jacks on at least two walls with two jacks per just because you never know.  You can always use them for analog, serial etc.
