Back Again...with a garage now!

So, I have been researching and decided not to rent a space and build...I just could not justify spending the the money to build in a place I don't own.

Today my wife and I found out the bank accepted our offer on a house so I am going to build it in my garage...hooray!

So, the dimensions are less than what I would want but I know I can make it work. It is sort of divided, as you can see by the picture, and I am wondering if I should use that framing and make it divided for a storage closet and the other a Vocal Booth...then the main floor for Mixing...I need some input. Am I better off going with a setup like Darkwater and using just a single room for everything or dividing it like it is now? I could go either way, but I would love to be able to do my own drums in there as well as guitars...I know the divided space is too small for drums, that would leave me having to do it in the may room anyways so that MAY answer my question for me. My main concern is making the space sound as good as possible and using every inch to its best possible.

What are your thoughts? Can you suggest any layouts in this space? I record full time, this is how I make a living so I want clients to feel as comfortable as possible.

Budget would hopefully be in the $3,000 range or less...I will be doing the project with friends so I won't need to hire anyone...electrical and framing is covered by them.

Please let me know if you have any questions...
