this is picture of my studio.

The monitor speaker are placed very precise. I have tried many ways of putting them in room. I have done many CAD model and math to see best placement. To my ear and to my calculator this is best.

Thank you for looking. Thank you for giving comments.

That chair looks VERY comfortable!!

Does it require challenge/response to be sat in for more than 5 minutes at a time? And, is it transferable to another studio?

[I'm sick as a dog, ignore my sarcasm.]

Very nice!

I managed to plonk my monitor speakers either side of my screen angled vaguely towards my head too.

Didn't use CAD or calculator. Is my setup potentially wrong?

Does look nice and tidy

BUT

( wish there was an emotioncon with a big butt)

How can you keep your keyboards way far off from the computer? I gotta have something right next to me. Makes it much easier to compose. Looks like you have plenty of space on that table

I took great interest in monitor placement and room tuning. This was after showing my studio to anothe engineer. He remark to me that monitor's placed wrong! I agree when he moved them many inches then the sound becomes much better.

So I spend days and nights learning. I have good math skills to understand all the things I find. I spend many days with tape measure, graph papers, and the calculator. I try I think over 100 placements. Analyze every one. Listen to everyone with many cd I know well. This setup was not the last I tried. The many that sound good went into matlab, and my CAD software. More special adjustment with more listening. Ending I found the best placement possible for my room.

I can now hear many things I normally hear on very expensive speakers. Kick pedal squeeking, mild detuned guitar, small autotune adjustment, shaker in distance. So many things that make my modest monitors sound like the big boys.

Thank you for the comments

I clean everyday when I finish. I learn the wonder of a clean workspace when taking cooking class. Have everything in reach and ready, and clean your space when you finish with your space! This is how the true chef does it, and I cook up lots of music in here!

I compose on the bass guitar. This is instrument I spend many school days working with. I can play many melody at once like the keyboards and guitar do. I use the small guitar amp next to both keyboard. This keeps bass not muddy with clear high. When I can finsh space to post my music I can not wait to show you all!

I have no midi in my computer. I play the keyboard through amp I bring into room. The midi is between keyboards. I do no sequence. If I must play something I cannot play, then I spend much time practicing till I can do it!

I have a camera now too. I may try to make video of my playing.

Do you think so? My wall are solid concrete block. I do not own a drill, and I wish to buy music tools than anchor, screw, and drill

What are ideas for livening up my room? I like this idea!

Is the wording up, "verb up" correct? This is like the words, "Liven up" and "Cook up". I try to put this into my sentences and it sounds good. I can not find the way this is a correct way to speak, but I can understand the meaning plainly.

Some Pink Floyd posters, a Lava Lamp, maybe a Blacklight & a moldering OD'd corpse in the corner would be a good place to start

Big cloth banners could help you out a lot to deaden the reflections in your room. Hard flat surfaces don't help with reflections, that's for sure.

Will you be my overdosed corpse sickle66?

I think you would be great dead!

I AM dead! AND great! Sure, I'll rot in your corner!

Some of those big band tapestries would absorb reflections like Devon mentioned, but you can hang em up wherever you wanna, you don't need a slide rule or CAD app for placement

I almost considered posting a pic of my studio aswell now, but it's just a PC nowadays..

Great! My first dead body. I am now really a rock star studio!

I am going to live up my room tommorow. Then I will make more pictures. Please, more suggestions! This is wonderful help to me!
