Before I do something stupid!

Hi Guys, This is a great place! I've been over this site a million times and have learnt so much over the last few weeks. Be that as it may I thought it would be best to ask before I spent money on things I didn't need. I have attached 2 pictures of what is my little control room. Can anyone suggest what I should do to make this room a suitable mixing enviroment? I understand that the room is tiny and my options are limited. Unfortunately I am also trying to work to a tight budget which doesn't help either. As you can see there is a pocket door in the bottom right corner. What can I do about bass trapping in this corner? I intended to block out the window. Is this a good idea? All suggestions are appreciated. Kind Regards, Nate.

oooo - tight isn't it. Ideally you should be facing the window and retaining the natural light but the door creates a problem doesn't it. anyway of cutting down the desk area to allow you to turn it all around?? cheers john

Thanks for your reply John. I haven't been able to access the website for a while, but all is ok now. The side wings of the desk detach as they are my racks. My only concern is if I move them I don't know where I can put my speakers which are currently sitting on them. Any suggestions? Other than the natural light is there any other benefit to facing the window? Thanks, Nate.

Yes - you don't want a reflective surface like a window behind you - preferably in front of you. Also it suits the ceiling angle better. cheers john

John, Would it be ok if I rearranged things like this? What acoustic treatment should I be considering? thanks, Nate.

Yeah - that's better - you basically need some good absorption across the rear wall and sides of the room. Get some 703 or the equivalent and start from there. cheers john

Thanks John, I appreciate the time you've taken to help me. I'll let you know how I go. Thanks again, Nate.
