Help with my first dedicated studio space

[henrycollins]

I am looking for some studio advice/tips. I am moving my studio fromy bedroom into a new room which is soundproofed (former police interview room) with double doors so the sound is pretty dead. There are some pics bellow. The rooms dimensions are

HEIGHT - 237M
WIDTH - 227M
LENGTH (DOOR-FRONT) - 323M.

I have a week or so before i will move in so wanted to get advice on
a) Where best i place my speakers (blue sky speakers media desk 2.1) and workstation?
b) What basic acoustic treatment can i add ? ..

i have various bits of kit and equipment and also need to add some storage units which will probably be shelfs of some kind. Is there any no no's i should know about?



Many thanks in advance

Note that absorption used for voice frequencies is not adequate for music. So you'll need to beef up the existing wall padding with real bass traps.
