Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum. I'm not really into mixing, but making a lot of music in my student room.
I'm planning to buy some studio monitors, so my guitar sound (Kemper Profiler) is a little more accurately represented in my room. However, I need to do a lot of consessions with regards to monitor & desk placement and I would like some advise from more experienced people.
My room is a small 5.25 x 2.66 x 2.40 (LxWxH) meter student room (17' 25" x 8' 9" x 7' 10"). My desk is placed along one of the long walls right now, see the map:
Because of the small width of the room, the current placement is certainly not ideal. I came up with two possible alternative placements with the desk along the short walls.
Alternative placement 1:
The first is a practical solution for me, but has the disadvantages of the non-centered position of the monitors and the window behind it. Furthermore I could leave some more space between the desk and the window. However, I have no idea of the influence of a window on the sound in the room.
Alternative placement 2:
The second proposal is less practical, but I think it is acoustically a lot better. I am not able to completely center the desk because the sink and the door need some room around them too. I'm a bit worried about the speakers being close to the corner. Maybe it's worse here than alternative 1, as the window might leave some bass through, but in fact I really don't know.
It would be great is somebody could give some advise!
Daan.
