One of the biggest advantages to using amp modelers is the convenience factor. You have all these different amps, cabs, and effects in one box. Sure they don't sound exactly like the real deal, but it's pretty close. Especially when it's in a full mix, you really can't tell it's an amp modeler...

The mirror was right against the wall when I did it. In addition to the 2 spots I put the panels at, I see the side of the speaker where the x is:

No doubt the Axe FX is a great product. The AX8 looks cool too. But again, price is a huge factor. I was super close to buying an Axe FX last month but after giving it some serious thought, I wouldn't be using everything in the unit and don't feel like I can spend that much money on something...

Yes. That's what I did. For the mirror trick, do you place panels only when you see the tweeter/cone in the mirror? If you see the side of the speaker in the mirror in another spot in the wall, do you place the panel there as well? Would that be considered an early reflection point as well? Or...

Yes I am referring to the 2 panels I have right beside each other on my side wall beside the listening position. I put those panels there because I did the mirror trick and saw the tweeter/cone in the mirror. Moving the mirror down towards the the wall with the corner panels, I can see the side...

As much as I tried to convince myself to spend $3kCAD on an Axe FX II, it's just not happening. I can't justify spending that much money on one single piece of gear. Especially not at the level I'm at. As of now I am using all plugins to record guitars (Bias FX, Amplitube, also tried Helix...

Also had another question. I treated my early/first reflection points (2 on each wall). I setup 2 panels right beside each other. Before the panels I added, I can see the side/almost the back of my speaker in the mirror. Does that count as an early reflection point? Or is it only if you can see...

I really appreciate the feedback and suggestions. Thanks!

I definitely do notice some improvement. Again, I can't really say I'm experienced enough with this kind of stuff to really know where to place panels and such, which is why I'm following these rules. My reason for adding proper treatment (like most), is to get more accurate mixes. There are...

Here are some pictures of the updated space:

Okay so I rearranged my studio a bit. Moved the desk and speakers to be the same distance from both walls, moved the desk and speakers around 1.5ft away from the wall, made the speakers facing in and pointing at my ears, measured an almost equal triangle from both speakers to my listening...

Thanks for the reply. I decided to try angling them down and it works better. The tweeters are pointing more towards my ears.

Another question, if I can’t get my speakers tweeter to be ear level, is it better to angle them down? I have the auralex pads and can do this. Is it better to angel them down or have the tweeter be above ear level?

I know they are expensive but I’m not handy enough to make my own and couldn’t be bothered. I couldnt get GIK acoustics stuff in Canada. The shipping and duties would make it even more expensive. I actually paid $950 in Canadian dollars here in Canada.

Just got my Primacoustics London 12 kit. I did some research on placing the panels and know to put the 2 bass trap panels on the same wall where I will be sitting (in the corners), and the panels on the side where the first reflection points are. Before I start, I just need help with my...
