Thanks for the advice gentlemen

I am starting acoustic treatment on my home recording studio. Room dimensions are 12' W, 20' L, with a sloped ceiling, from height 8'3" to 9'6" at the other end. My workstation sits against one of the 12' walls where the 8'3" ceiling is. (I read that the long wall is more ideal but this is what...

I am setting up my first digital studio, bought Studio One, shopping monitors. I'm reading that ultrawide is good for DAW visualization, but how does this monitor ratio work for regular internet use, reading text, youtube etc? No experience with this kind of monitor. Only reason I ask is I read...
