Hi,

I just renovated my house and have a home office/guest bedroom (measures 20' x 16') that I can use as a home studio. I have attached a pic of the room with existing furniture.

The room is carpeted. There is nothing on the walls and then windows all have that blackout combed shades on them, so I'm not sure about how that affects the sound.

Right now I have the iMac on the southeast corner of the room on the desk return and the keyboard to the right of it on the main desk.

I would like to get monitors and I am now mixing on headphones. This is where I am starting to evaluate where to put them and whether I need to rotate the desk. I am pretty stuck with where the furniture and desk goes other than being able to rotate the desk.

Where would you put the monitors? What treatments do I need off the top of your head? Will this room suffice?

Also, I do have an old 12" mirage sub http://dl.anyusermanual.com/pdf/man...OFER-BPS-150i-FRx-S12-FRx-S10-FRx-S8-8464.pdf

Do you think I'll be ok getting an entry level monitor like the Rokit 5 with the sub in this space? Or go with a larger unit such as the Yamaha HS8M or similar? Thanks in advance.

Walter,

Honestly, I would just make that into a nice home studio. Move out the bed, center your position on the wall at the bottom of the drawing.. start treating reflection points, front wall corners, side wall/ceiling corners, cloud over mix.. nice setup.

Cheers,
John
