Hi you guys; first of all I have to thank all of you for such a useful forum. I'm a newbie to designing home studios; my main purpose is to record vocals, to have a place to do vocal trainings, and to have a quiet room to play my instruments (digital piano and electric guitar) and here's the situation:I've got a 3.2 m* 2.6 m( 126inch * 102 inch) room and I'm planning to construct a home studio.
So here's my first question: is the size of the room appropriate? I'm asking this because I don't know what to do with this space. should I divide the room into a more closed room, like a dead room or should I use isolation and acoustic treatments on the whole room?
my second question is what materials I should use. I myself was thinking about using Stone wool to isolate the walls, but I don't know what kind of stone wool (with different densities) should I choose. some people told me to use stone wool with density over 120, but what I learned in this forum is that if the stone wool density is between 50-80, the isolation layer happens to function better. I'm using carpet as the floor padding, so should I isolate the floor with any specific material? how about the ceiling?
I thank all of you in advance.
BTW: I'm from Iran and I not familiar with your metric system! so I used meters and inches.
What to do with my small room?

Greetings, welcome to the forum.
You might want to read this post.
As for your space, it's pretty small, could make a usable control room or edit suit. But I don't think you have enough room to be able to divide it up into another space like a vocal booth or live room, etc...
