I'm ordering a premade vocal booth and have a choice between 4'x 4'
and 5'x 3.5'. I occasionally have clients. This is strictly semi-
pro, but I want to order the size booth that will be most comfortable
for most people. The booth will be mainly used to track vocals,
though occasionally it may be used for sax and acoustic guitar (yes,
it's a very dead environment, but I'll deal with that in the mix. No
slams, please!)

Any opinions on the comfort-factor of the two sizes? I wish I could
afford a 5x5' or 7x7' booth, but not yet.

Assuming an 8' ceiling (probably not a good assumption, since it wouldn't
fit inside a room with an 8' ceiling)

4x4x8 = 128 cubic feet.
5x3.5x8 = 140 cubic feet.

For reference:
Size of a typical (empty) grave = 126 cubic feet (7x3x6).
Length of a typical acoustic guitar = 41 inches.

I'd also be curious if anybody knows how many cubic feet of oxygen a sax
player uses up on a really jammin' solo.
