Hi everybody, I currently have a 23' by 10' (with 7'4" ceiling) treated rehearsal/recording space. I am thinking of making two rooms out of it so I can have separate tracking and control rooms. My priority is to have the best drum sound possible. Should I leave it as it is, or take the plunge and split it up ?
Welcome! Please update your profile with your location. Do you like the sound of the room as it is? If so, maybe keeping it as a single room is the best direction. If mixing is key and you will want isolation when recording drums and other performers, then splitting would make sense. Making 2 10 x 13 x 7' rooms could work.
