Hi all.
I have come to the point where i want to to do a mix on a track and have bought a couple of books and am reading as much as I can. On the basics, and from one book in particular, Mixing secrets for the small studio by Mike Senior, I'm getting the advice that you really have to treat youur space as best as you can.
Position wise I am trapped inside a 2 foot deep alcove in the corner of the room with my Rokit 5's sitting on some Xbox 360 games to get the hight that rest on a generic PC desk. I've tried to get the best equalateral triangle I can as I've nowhere else to go. I'm want to do as good a job as I can and I'm thinking about treatments for my room. Specifically behind the speakers as they are 12" from the back cove wall and perhaps on the ceiling and to the wall directly to the right of me.
In the book Mike wrote that if you were strapped for cash heavy curtins or fabric could be used. He was saying that if you have terrible acoustics then you lose about 2/3rds of the value of what you spent on your speakers.
What are your opinions on this? Do you guys do this? I'd appreciate some more experianced advice, cheers,
Ste.
