Whats the difference?
I believe there is a different noise floor standard for control room and recording room.

In a recording room build according to RFZ you would usualy want a very short reverb time across the entire spectrum,tame first reflections,have a very uniform freq response across the spectrum focusing specially in the lower freq region.

In a live room Its really a matter of taste, Some like a very live and untreated room, "sound of concrete" sort of speak and some treat it like hell.

the best of both worlds when it comes to live room Is having a nice sounding room verb and using portable acoustic panels to reduce room sound when needed.
If the ceiling is less then 2.8-3m you should look into creating an area for drums where you have the ceiling in that area of the room treated with a 10-15cm absorber panel.
