Mid-size studio design

Hey, guys! I'm new to this forum, thanks for all the advice and great tips. This is THE BEST place for info on studio design... Now to my project - I recently got a space in the basement of this quite large house to build a studio in. It has four rooms - a large tracking room, two booths (vocal to the left, drums to the right) and a control room in the middle (posted a picture). Now for my questions: 1. Since the booths are on each side of the control room, where (if at all) do i apply the RC and do I treat both sides of the wall (drywall - rockwool-brick wall-rockwool-drywall) or just one side (drywall - rockwool - brickwall)? 2. The monitors of choice are ATC SCM 100, which are quite big for this room. I have designed a sort of a triangular shape wall with a shelf to put them in, but about a quarter of them are sticking out (posted picture). How does this affect the acoustics - how do I mount them in the wall for best performance? 3. The large recording room is to be used for other events as well (like small gatherings, private parties, etc), so I cannot treat it as a studio room. Suggestions on best, but least visible treatment are most welcome... Just for info - the walls are brick with painted plaster finish, 20 cm thick. Sorry for measurements in metric... :) Thanks for your suggestions Alee - Slovenia

i would just shape the rooms with slats and absorbers and put the monitors on stands instead of trying to soffit mount them. they may be too big for the room with the shallow depth. the big room could get some nice treatments in the corners and between the windows. this will make the room sound better without taking up a lot of space - whether its recording or parties.

Hi, Gullfo, and thanks for the plan. It looks great. Would it be better if I moved the doors to both recording rooms so that they are not directly opposite one another? I was also thinking of getting rid of one door (the one leading into the control room by the vocal booth) - it would be easier then to use the space for acoustic treatment (mounting hangers...). Now I just have to get the owner's permission to wall up the doors and open up the windows as doors... :)

the doors are angled 15 degrees on each side and the entry doors at 30 degrees as part of a RFZ. the back wall is mostly absorption with some widely spaced strips to keep it from being totally dead (which to me sounds unnatural).
