not an ideal location - acoustics in the corner of a bedroom

[TOR]

my girlfriend and i are moving into a fairly small apartment. the only space for music gear is in the corner of the bedroom. what would be your recommendations as for what to do with treating this space? its not for clients, but a happy place for me to work on some tunes during these dark winter months

i still would like to be able to pull a good mix tho!

any ideas much appreciated - i drew up a lil mockup of the room

cheers

If you can't move (really would be better to move) then straddle panels floor to ceiling in that corner by the desk, place a panel between where you sit and the monitors, and place one panels behind each monitor on the wall. Pray for spring.

Any chance you can rotate the setup counter-clockwise so you're facing the top of the drawing? That would help a lot.

That bad eh? I ran some sound through the monitors and it sounds terrible at the moment - high ceilings and no panels in yet - tons of reflections.

Ethan, I'll see if I can rotate the setup like you suggested. Another battle to be fought with the girlfriend

Would the fact that the back wall is on an angle effect things too much? (its actually closer to a 45 degree angle, my lil mockup didnt reflect that too accurately)

cheers for the help

that would be the front wall would it not? But yes it will effect, but not HALF and bad as being stuck in that corner. Buy roses, dinner and tell her how perdee she is. That should help you get her to LET you move the desk.
