Mixdown in live room

Hello, just wondering. Does anyone know anyone who uses their live room for mixing in. As I feel that this may be a possible solution for the home studio owner who uses a DAW to mix and is on a tight budget for sound insulation. As I figure, a well designed and built live room space could double as a good 'dead' sound proofed place to mix down in. All the engineer would have to do is to construct a small mixing desk, near field monitors and computer monitor in the live room and he would have a noise and clutter free space for mixing in. (the computer could stay in the control room space). I also considered hanging the monitors from the ceiling using a cat gut cradle or something. In order to reduce the studio furniture / equipment to minimal (in order to cut down reflections / vibrations). Perhaps even create a jump suit that has triangle diffuser acoustic foam sewn to it....lol. :-) Something like this with added acoustic foam... http://www.lazyboneuk.com/products/SelkBag-1-Version-1.html

Live end/Dead end. But don't let that stop ya from buying that suit.

I have a one-room studio, if that's what you're asking. It's 34 feet long by 18 feet wide, with a ceiling that peaks at 12 feet in the center. So it's large enough to be a great home studio "live" room, but the mixing end is well treated so it's not overly live and I can hear everything clearly. One-room studios can be smaller too: Maximum Studio, Minimum Stress --Ethan
