I did some more tests.
Someone suggested the dips might have something to do with refelections.
So I did some tests with the desk covered with a very heavy blanket, then one covering the back wall, the floor etc.
The one with the desk covered gave the best results:
I also conducted a test with myself in a chair at the mixing position, since that's probably the most realistic scenario:
I seem to absorb a lot of highs...;-)
A combination of the original test and myself in chair:
So I think there is no easy, workable, non-drastic solution.
The best conclusion after these tests is that I now know where the problem area's are, so I can be extra careful when tweaking those frequencies.
I guess I'm going to have to live with it...
Unless someone comes up with a
"cunning plan"...
...."And now for something completely different.

A time ago I came up with an idea to manipulate my tracking room size,...
(since it's going to be small)
The idea is basically the record room reverb in the tracking room at a higher pitch/speed. Then played back at normal pitch/speed should give the illusion of a bigger room. Although completely untreated at the moment, I tried it out at my tracking room to be.
For those interested, the original thread can be found here:
Is this a valid idea?
