yeah! what size room will do what to your mic recording capabilities....As in your home...is the bathroom the best place to record? the bedroom? which room?:D
 
Yup. Or if all you rooms are parallel, the room with the least echo.
 
Its not only only unwanted echo thats the issue, dif rooms have dif EQ. Most rooms in a house will not be good for the low end. Theres nothing like an airtight room for vocals and drums. There are whole books written on the subject....do a search on amazon.
 
Not to disagree with the above, but it depends on what you want. Deep Purple hired a hotel for Machine Head and recorded in the corridor because they wanted the ambience.
 
If you have any room made of stone check it out. Especially if the floor is carpeted. I found as long as I'm a couple feet from a stone wall and the room is pretty dead it sounds great for vocals and acoustic guitar. I think a lot of "warmth" comes with "close sounds" and that's usually best in a dead space, or outside if you know of anywhere absent of substantial traffic or bugs. I don't know if this touches on the subject: "size", but dead spaces I don't think depend much on size, just whether they're dead.
