Hello everyone, I'm brand new to the forum. I stumbled across while doing some research for putting together a space I will be using to mix my new project. The room is rectangular and I've found enough resources to figure out how to acoustically treat the room as well as where my desk/monitors should be placed.
Here's my question:
The room right now has some things in it such as a couple PA speakers, an electronic drumset and an electric guitar. I'm wondering if it will have a negative effect on my sound quality to keep these items in the room or if the room should be empty save for my desk and equipment. If it's alright to have them in the room, I'm assuming I should put them in front of my desk (behind the direction of my mixing monitors) as opposed to behind me where they might affect and disrupt the sound waves. It's not ideal for the room to be empty, but it is certainly doable, and if it will have a noticeable effect I'd rather have the room empty. If it won't though, I'd like to avoid the trouble.
While I've been mixing for a short while now, I'm admittedly new to actually trying to set up a space made for mixing and getting the purest sound possible out of my monitors (JBL LSR series if you're wondering) for this purpose. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
