Hello to the pros. I know there is a lot of talk on here about sizes of rooms, and I have come to understand a few principles (or at least so I think…) That a square room is bad, and that in order to have an accurate bass response it’s better to have a larger control room. I’ve tried answering “my own” question through reading other posts, but didn’t find anything specific, other than to avoid square rooms.
I am having a room constructed that will be a 15 X 26 with 9 foot ceilings. (the exterior dimensions are 16 X 27) and I am planning on dividing it into two rooms, control and mixing room, and then a larger tracking room.
My first thought was to make the control room an 11X15 and the tracking a 15X15… but then I found out about the square room problem… but I also don’t want to make my control room too small because even though I am planning on doing a lot of acoustical treatment, the smaller the room, the less low end accuracy.

So which way do I move the middle wall between the two rooms? Less control room space ( ex: control 9X15 and tracking 17X15) or the other way for less tracking room ( control 13X15 and tracking 13X15)… or do I just leave it the way it is, tracking 15X15 and control 11X15 and just rely on a lot of room treatment?

The sketch is NOT to scale, just to give a simple visual.
