I have a detached 2 car garage that is probably around 400 square feet, plus has an additional office with bathroom in the back.
I currently Record Drums in the Office with a snake that goes to my house. It has carpeted walls but I plan to do some better sound treatment at some point. Its about 8'x12' with 8'to9' ceiling.
There is also a Window and an AC unit and ceiling fan in the Office. I am lucky to have a Sound Wall behind me and lots of space between neighbors. So I am good as far as noise goes with this room.
I am planning to build a room inside of my garage about 12'x16' with 7' ceiling and am wondering whether to make it my Control/Mixing/Monitoring Room, or turn it into a Live/Iso Room and make the office the Control Room.
My office holds large drum sets fine and is large enough to hold a full band if needed.
My main concern is what the best results will be and which is more crucial.
Build a better constucted and treated Monitoring/Mixing Room?
Or a build a better constructed and treated Live/Iso Room?
I was leaning towards making it a Monitoring/Mixing Room because it seemed like the most crucial element.
I would like to hear some opinions on this.
I have attached a basic drawing of my garage and layout.
