I am working in an efficiently-priced studio with a nice, 6-window view of the Grand River in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I am monitoring out of Adam A7's via an Apogee 8000 DAC VIII in addition to stock computer speakers with a tiny sub, and also headphones.
Unfortunately, 2 of the 'walls' in my control room are-window based, one is looking to the outside Grand River, while the other is looking into the Live Room.
The control room is 9' tall, 9' 6" wide, and up to 28' long. I now have 3 Owens Corning 4" Traps floating above the desk at about 7' 6", with a quite heavy stage-curtain behind the whole desk as well. I have 4 more traps on-hand that I've been using as isolation for instruments.
I am uncertain If I should flank additional bass traps along all of the rear and above corners, and also how far out from the rear/listening position they should go.
My listening position is about flush with the windows, and flush with where the stage curtain ends with my ears.
I do know that it is more ideal to monitor in a (( wide )) listening area VS narrow, but the river VS live room issue is what is getting me. This room has the best ~vibe~ I've had the opportunity to work in, but I certainly want it to be the most beneficial acoustic-wise also, as I occasionally do mastering as well....
Here are additional pictures of the live room also ( 30' x 20' x 10' tall).+
These are a couple of weeks old, there is now a vintage Ludwig drum kit about on about the center of that large rug. All the floors have been freshly-painted with outdoor deck paint by my landlord.
Any idea, period will be insightful and not be taken negatively!!
Thanks!
