well iso booths can be great but most of the time if not made by pros they are not.
i overcompensated and made it a bit too dead, but still my choice of engineered flooring was poor, then after all that i an now at a rug. i've got 4" of rigid 703 panels around the whole booth, and corners, ceiling not missing an inch, basically almost everywhere, and that is inside a double walled room.
I can do vox, but resonant instruments (Acoustic Guitar, Cello, etc) that need to breathe can be a challenge in that dead type of iso booth. A bricasti, TC5000 etc might help a little.
ventilation was an issue. and it still is and it sucks. so it does still get hot after an hour and we have to take a break. / clear the room with a fan.
to be done correctly is not easy, but doable. its more work than you think though.
smaller "live" rooms? totally different. i won't go there. someday i may expand but ive just been working at studios that have appropriate rooms and its welllll worth it.
Im a believer in a nice professionally designed room (console is pure bonus!), and i don't know how guys get there sounding decent with using rooms in houses. but id like to know!! (i imagine a lot of those mixdowns are heavy sample replaced).
