Hello,
The mixing room/project studio-to-be (well, bedroom) in my new house is
3.3x4.0m, with a bay window at one of the ends, making it more like 3.3x5.0m
(10.8'x13.1' or 10.8'x16.4') respectively. Respectably high ceilings (about
2.4m/7.9').
My question is this - I've heard that in a long room, it's meant to be
better to place the monitors/console/DAW at the one end to minimise slapback
from the wall behind. But if I do this, then either I've got the bay window
behind me (I'd rather work near a window, though I'm not too fussy), or I'm
right at the bay window (reflections from behind the monitors). Do either of
these scenarios pose enough of an acoustical problem that it would make it
preferable to put the DAW on one of the long walls instead?
I have a small budget for room treatment and will probably set up bass
traps, wall-mounted diffusers/absorbers etc, but I can't touch the window.
Thanks!
