Little less crued of a drawing...any thoughts?

[rushfan33]

This is the space I have to work with. Any thoughts wouls be appreciated. The only thing I can see to try different would be to turn the board left to face the small corner, which would allow me to see both windows at a time.
Thanks,
RF

Or....

This way...

I would put the mixer facing the drum room window, you don't need to be facing the vocal window when tracking. Once setup you can always turn round and face the singer.

if you also move the door to where the window is and the window to where the door is in your vocal room the singer will see the drum room.

I'd make the drum room the control room, the control room the drum room and leave the booth where it is.

John... the problem I'm faced with is that I have neighbors about 15 feet from the top right corner of the picture. I thought getting the drums farther away would be best. Are you suggesting swapping rooms because of the shapes of the rooms?
Thanks,

Yeah. I like John's idea. Otherwise, where are you going to put your monitors?

Oh, and ummm, I think you need some more cymbals on your drum kit!

How about this way....
I guess I can do without a vocal booth at first! If I build a shed I can move that wall on the right about 2 feet back, which will give me some room to play with. I can just gobos for now!
The drum set is a pic I got from DW's website. Yeah... it's Neils's.....of course! I defenitely don't use that many cymbals.
