Just wondering how feasible or realistic it is?
Thank you guys for all the help

Here is my take on it. There are people out there that do one room set ups all the time with great success. But for me I can't stand to be sitting in the same room with a drummer POUNDING away for hours on end or some person whacking away on the guitar to find that "perfect sound". Also I find it hard to pin point good locations in the room as the monitors are in the same room which you have to use headphones (still hard to hear) and can't iso the sound to REALLY hear what is going on. Like I said there are guys recording HIT records with one room set ups, so it is up to YOUR skills, needs and working environment.
I will add that we treat rooms ALL day long that are WAY to small and or crappy shapes and with the right plan they sound damn good after treatment. Heck I am setting up the office next to mine as a little "testing room"/FUN room that is 11x11x8. I bet when it is done it will sound better then 99% of the "ideal" sized rooms with zero acoustic treatment.
