Dear Gearslut members,

this is my first post here with some questions that I hope will be answered to help me setup my project studio.

First here is the room in question:

and here are my questions:

1. As you can see in the left side of the picture there is a wardrobe that is almost wall to wall and by the way it is also floor to ceiling. It has two sliding glass mirror doors.
Now if I measure the size of the room and if I calculate in the size the depth of the wardrobe with which the Width of the room will be extended, hence the Width of the room becomes the Length of the room! It is important if I want to decide where to put my studio desk with the speakers on it especially because of the room's low frequency response, it is advisable to setup the speakers facing the Length of the room.

So my question is, should I calculate the wardrobe depth into the room size and if so then where should I put my studio desk with the speakers?

I was thinking that if the wardrobe is calculated into the size of the room then the best place for my speakers would be at the right side wall facing the wardrobe.

2. My room measurements with the depth of the wardrobe 14' x 12' x 8' hence I am planning to use bass traps and a lot of them. Which corners are the most important to treat? The corners closest to the speakers or the corners where I can hear the highest amount of boomy bass?

3. My room is smaller than the advisable smallest room size to set up a balanced acoustic environment for a studio.
Keeping this in mind, is it still possible to treat my room so my audio mixes will translate well to the outside world?

Thank you for any help!
