Studio layout

Im mid garage conversion and jsut having a play with the layout of the room, what do you guys think of this:

All furniture is non-negotiable, the sofa and TV have to stay and so does the tumble dryer in the cupboard. The drum kit is an e-kit so there might be a little extra space in that corner and the guitas will be on a 5 guitar rack plus prob a few on the walls.,

The TV I want to put on a bracket that folds into the wall when not in use...does such a thing exist?

Finally I have 3 acoustic panels, Im not sure where best ot place them in this layout, maybe one behind the desk between the speakers and the other 2 in the corner where the back wall meet the cupboard and the front left corner?

    If possible it's usually best to have the monitor speakers firing down the long dimension of the room rather than across it as here, but I'm not sure how you can achieve that given all the restrictions.

    One of your acoustic panels should go at the 'mirror point' ie. on the rear wall opposite to the monitors. I'd probably suggest flying the other two above the listening position -- hang them six inches or so below the ceiling (assuming they are proper acoustic panels and not just bits of foam, in which case you might as well not bother).

  • The door gets in the way though, although I suppose I could mount on the back of the door vertically.


    Maybe something like this, but the kit seems pretty messy in this layout

    My actual kit is one of these though so is prob a bit more compact

    Although I have added a real hi-hat, crash and ride stand to accomodate my zildjian gen 16 cymblas

    Could also try this but I think the desk would get cramped

  • I just finished reading a book about Satriani's album making process and his sound engineer built his home studio advising the monitors should be positioned about 1/3 of the way into the long chevron of the room ideally.   And cover all reflective panels likes picture frames windows etc.

  • Sadly has to double has home office and missus really wants a sofa and TV in there so dont think i can get the speakers in the ideal position. Tbh i would sacrifice a little on the listening environment front for a convenient arrangement where i can easily switch between computer, guitars and drums when making demos.
