Jon, only you can answer that for your work. I track full rhythm sections so I needed not only a decent sized tracking room, but a pretty big control room (where there may be a dozen people listening to the playback). I've got 3 iso booths off of the tracking room, but I know a couple of people who want a minimum of 5 for a country record date. Someone earlier in the thread said that they wanted no isos. And we're all right.

Are you building a private facility, where you're the main client? Then build whatever makes YOU happy. Are you building what you hope is a commercial room, with outside engineers and producers renting the room? Then talk to your prospective clients and see what they want.

Either I'm mis-reading what you want to know, you aren't sure what you want to know, or you simply don't understand yet that the infrastructure - AC, HVAC, wiring - are of paramount importance. Far more important than the sizes of the rooms and the control room features.
