Looks good. Now on to some treatment. Lots of reflective surfaces in that room.
It never ends, huh?
I can already hear that I'll be fighting other noises. Great. You really don't have to put these things very loud though, that's pretty cool. Minimal volume and things are pretty clear.
Cool man! Now take the time to do a bit of acoustic treatment and you will find how good your investment was.
Cheers bro!
I'm missing so many details in the mix. It's gonna take awhile to get used to this. For starters, the obvious fact that it seems so much farther away from me. A sense of distance to the music. Then, the low mids and bass aren't defined very well, they all kinda mesh together in a blobby sense. Could just be my room. But there's little things that I really can't hear, like maybe someone stepping on a hit-hat during a busy chorus....that just gets lost on these speakers and was so transparent on headphones.
I guess it's a sacrifice that's for the better. .. ?
The acoustic treatment shit works and you will know it when you add it appropriately. Just the next step man. And actually way cheaper than your new monitors to get there.
Props to you for moving forward! You won't regret it bro!
Oh, I believe it. I can already hear the way the bass is reacting...I should move them farther from the walls, I think. Just, you know, one step at a time...this IS still our, uh, office/den room. She wouldn't be too happy if I made it a full-fledged music room. We're in a condo, but it's still not a house. Once we get that, I get my own room to do whateva I so puhleez. mmmwwhahhaha.
ehem, so, ya. Prob no treatments anytime soon. It's gonna take time to get used to this. Thanks to HR and the kind fellas on here for steering me in the right direction over the years. Took awhile, but I got there. sorta
Um, the bass traps behind my desk/monitors are not mounted. Even though I could. It not about mounting shit to the walls and fucking up the space. You can easily make them portable. The main thing is getting that in there when you need it. Cover them in pretty fabric that the wife likes!
