Yeah, sorry, I missed one word in your msg. However, why not just extend the piano side of the design the additional 2 meters (if you do not include the lounge, you have 2M more you can add based on your space.) This will give you the extra room, and keep the drums further away from your piano than what you have layed out. As well as keep the vocal booth close to the control room for communication purposes. With those adjustments, you;d still have a large space and good room for load in Bryan Giles
Hi Bryan, Thanks for the input.Don't mind the roughness of this sketch,but is this kind of what you mean? (with doors and windows of course!) If so what about the space where I put the question mark? Chris

Chris - if you flip the control room and booths 180 degrees you can have the control room face the ?? area which can be another recording space. Just one thing - I'd make it a double sliding door between the vocal and drum booths - one just isn't enough when you have drums in one of the booths I've discovered. cheers john
Yes that would make sense to turn it around,but I'm still not to sure about that layout for me.The main tracking room is to small for me considering the amount of space I have to work with.If this was going to be a commercial facility I would probably do it that way no question ,but if you knew the amount of times I need multiple booths like that....I know when I'm tracking drums I'll be thinking to myself I wonder how it would have sounded as a bigger room (mean while I'd be looking at my empty booths...lol)I'm going to give it a bit more thought and see if I can come up with something better with just the control room ,tracking room, and one booth. Thanks, Chris
and see if I can come up with something better with just the control room ,tracking room, and one booth.
then drop the booths, move the control room to the right wall and use the ?? for the booth. cheers john
So something like this...

Not sure, maybe this :lol: I see the toilets and doors move. Any hard obstacles here? Best, Dave
