See the Acoustics FAQ, second in the list on my Articles page:

You need to find a room that might have some sort of non-parallell walls.


Wood will absorb excess freqs better while brick might give you a more reverb/robotic effect (not generally a good thing).

That could help you determine if you want to record closer to the wood wall, or the brick wall.
