Anyone see any major problems with this design? Its all the room I have to work with. This is a small post production space Im about to build in a 14x30 building in my back yard.
I know the rear sliding glass door is not ideal but I plan to use very heavy theater curtains to cover the door while mixing. Any opinions/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Move the center wall towards the larger room thus making it little smaller. Make the smaller room a bit of spacious or else it would cause suffocation if more people enter the room.
Hi. Please read the forum rules for posting (click here). You seem to be missing a couple of things! :)
If that were my studio, I would turn the control room around 180° so it faces the drum booth. That would give you good sight lines between the rooms, and also allow for proper treatment in the control room.
Sliding glass doors are fine! John uses them a lot in his designs. But you only have one door there: you would need two doors, back-to-back, with a small air gap between them, if you want to isolate the drum booth from the control room.I know the rear sliding glass door is not ideal
That would not work, actually. The issue with the rear of the room is always low frequencies, and curtains won't do much for that. The normal minimum treatment for the rear wall in a control room is 6" of insulation over an air gap, or preferably very deep hangers, if you have enough space for that. You do!I plan to use very heavy theater curtains to cover the door while mixing.
It's a drum booth! There's no need for more than one or two people in there, and it seems to be a reasonable size for a drum booth. No chance of suffocation either, if the HVAC system is done correctly. - Stuart -Make the smaller room a bit of spacious or else it would cause suffocation if more people enter the room.
