Along one side of the live room are three isolated recording areas. These are not 'isolation booths' in the usual sense though - the largest is 150 square feet which is big enough to be used for drums, percussion, a brass section or maybe 3 or 4 backing singers when a band lays down a backing track together.

The typical set-up is for the drums to be in the live room and the booths are used for guitar amps & vocals. Since each booth is 'tie-lined' it is not essential for the musicians to be in the booths with their amps - if they are, each room has a window to the live room, booth 1 has a window to booth 2 + booth 2 & booth 3 face the control room.

Everyone has eye contact & is able to communicate visually as well as via headphones & monitors.

The Big Booth also doubles up as a viewing/chill-out room with monitors & video link... you can be part of the overdubbing & mixing process and still be able to chat & have a laugh. Or you can get away from it, watch a DVD, play board games etc. but still be involved in what's going on with your project.
