Studio Soundroom DESIGN...help me out here

[MikeDMusic]

I am fortunate enough to live in a quiet area and have a large empty garage to build a studio in. I have figured out how much of the garage space I will have available to me and have begun to design the studio layout. take a look in the attachment. I wanted to know if a triangular soundroom was a good idea. I have heard that acoustically you want as few parallel surfaces as possible...so I figured...hey what could be better than a triangle. Is this like a huge no no that I just don't know about. What about the control room shape? Is that going to be a problem? Also do you think that the size of the sound booth would be large enough to record a drum kit in? I would really appreciate some feedback on this. Thanks

Wow, with all that space thats all the room you can have? I say that the room is to small to be recording drums and having a control room! can anyone else chime in?????

I would think that the triangular shape may cause some funky modes but I don't know for sure. And yeah, I think a drum kit would probably fit in there but it might be kinda tight on depth.

One thing I do know is that your control room won't work very well. You need to have a symmetrical room shape from the front of the room as you sit at your console to at least as far back as where your ears will be while mixing.

I did a quick layout - and with a 5 piece kit - 22" bass drum - you would have to move things just to get to the back of the kit.

IMHO - this is not good use of the space you have.

You would be better suited to make a combo mixing room/practice room than to try to take anything this small and turn it into 2 rooms.
