Firstly, i appologise if i have forgotten something in the rules bout posting. I have a one car garage that is connected but is not integral to the house. the internal dimensions are 2.6m wide by 5.5m. I plan to put a small control room and booth in th garage so i can move my music equipment out of the house. I have a digital drumkit, so the loudest thing i would need to record would be vocals. The garage is not close to any neighbours so sound insulation wouldnt have to be excessive. i have been looking at various small studio designs on sketchup and i have recently used them and the flying fox design to have a go. currently plan to use the reverse plaster and insulation design of wall (plaster-board on outside, insulation inside with material). I have done a basic drawing on autocad (a program i use for a living and more familiar with). hope this is enough to get some responses, once again appologises if i have missed something.

sorry just realised i didnt actually ask anything :oops: theres only two real questions: 1. am i on the right track with this design, have i understood the basics of it 2. does anyone else suggest any other arrangments based on the room limitations and recording requirements? once again thanks for any help.
Hi. This space is small, so you would definitely be better keeping it as one room. You can use gobo's or a reflexion filter to record vox. You need to setup facing the wall opposite the door with the speakers pointing down the long face of the room. I suppose the thing to bear in mind is not to expect miracles. But with enough acoustic treatment (bass traps), you could probably turn this pinto a usable space. Hope this helps
