Hi all,

I've inherited a couple of rooms that are fairly well fitted out- floating floor, gyprocked walls with 703 in the gap.

The dimensions are a bit tight though-

12.75 x 12.25 feet in the control room and 10 x 8ft in the live room.
I am not going to be tracking drums in this studio- just guitars/vocals and such.

I remember someone (Ethan?) saying something about an ideal room ratio but cannot seem to find it on the site.

Can someone fill me in?

Is 12.75 x 12.25 likely to cause problems?
I am pretty handy and don't mind moving the diving wall if necessary- curious as to what people think.
Ceiling height is 8ft and flat.

Many thanks,

James Richmond
