Exclamation Please help me with my very small home studio

My band is breaking up and I am turning our practice space into a small home studio for me to work on some of my own material and to record other small local acts. I need some suggestions on where I should put everything. I have a combo organ that is 2' 2" x 4' 2" and a hammond that is 2' 6" x 4' 8". Also my drums will need to live in there, so I need space for them.



(we usually keep the door on the left in this picture closed so anything in front of it is usually ok)


So like I said, I need help with a bunch of things.

1. Placement - I have an 2 organs and two drumsets. I can stack one or the other in another room when I need to. I also dont have another room to use as a control room so the laptop goes in here with the speakers as well.

2. Speaker Placement - Ive read a little on what kind of stands you should put them on but I dont know what is best for me. I just bought some KRK RP-6s.

3. Bass Traps - What should I use and where should I put them. I already spent more money than I really wanted to on equipment so the cheaper I can make/buy them, the better.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The room...















My gear and the gear I am using. Right now I am using the Presonus Firestudio Project and Cubase LE 4 (because thats what came with it). Should I upgrade to a better system? By the way, the M-Audio monitors are not mine. I mentioned earlier that I just bought KRK RP-6's. I am borowing the M-Audio monitors from my friend.





Thanks for all the help guys!
