I'll certainly find out and let you know. That said I didn't feel squeezed at all. It is currently however an empty booth. I know there was some local studio carpenters at the facility measuring for a podium, so it will get smaller.
Yes. I guess all things considered and since I don't have a massive amount of disposable money for a million dollar room, this is the absolute best solution I've run across. Understand however I'm a big fan of way, way upfront guitar sounds and although this pulls the guitar up close and personal it is also bone dry. I love good reverbs and will always have my Lexicons somewhere in the mix of things. I do not however think the reverbs (even great ones) will ever replace the sound of a great room. They are (reverbs-vs-rooms) two very different beasts for me. I suspect the recording will end up sounding "bone dry" with reverb. That's ok by me though. Still and for the home guy this solves so many nasty problems it's just difficult to ignore and in the face of all the talk of expensive mic's, pre-amps, converters ect I wanted to note that this booth makes for (at least for me) a massive leap forward in tone.

Fortunately I am in a position of being able to afford the costs listed and for sure it is a pittance compared to a good size pro acoustically engineered room . You have piqued my interest because even though I have reasonable acoustics for mixing it is still a one room set up and for tracking there is still a lot of ambient noise.
I would think most of us are the same boat as far not going to have a really top flight tracking room and also not really able to significantly change the walls ceiling etc. This indeed sounds like a possible alternative and I agree in terms of money well spent good acoustics are at the top. And am I correct in assuming you are referring to tracking and not mixing?
