it adds a tension/excitement to buying stuff that some people miss out on...Is your mixing position along the length of the room? why not move it 2 the shorter wall. like sodnkygirl said:Man I really like alot of the photos posted here. I am getting alot of ideas for placement. Here's my temp studio in the works. I'm in an apartment so i can't do much for soundproofing so I'm going to wait until i purchase my first home then really put something better together. I am waiting to add more curtains on this one for a little bit more sound dampening.

Even more of a reason to have the mixing position along the wall i suggested. hen sound comes out your right speaker it bounces off your left wall and into your ear, and vice versa. With your setup now it takes a lot long for the right to bounce of the left wall, than it does for the left to bounce off the right. You want them to be the same so you have better stereo imaging.dnkygirl said:Opps looked at it wrong...sorry. The other problem i have is that the other end of the room is open... here's a photo of the problem...

The curtains will absorb high frequencies only. Make sure there are a lot of ripples in the curtains for more absorbtion. If you could build bass traps for the 2 corners that'd help a bunch, and if you added absorbtion where the sound from the speaker reflects off the wall to your ear, ie get someone to hold a mirror on the side wall while you sit in your mixing position, and at the point you can see the speaker in the mirror place some absorbtion.dnkygirl said:Thanks i will give that a try. I am also going to add curtains to the opening... i'm hoping that will help some as well. I'll post again once i have it all re-configured... thanks again!!!
