Hello, I must admit, there's a lot here to read! Cool forum.
I live on the bottom floor of a duplex apartment. My room is 8X12 and wanted to know the "best" placement for my monitors to minimize "leak" or "bleed" out of the door area (which leads to the living room and other sleeping areas). I'm usually up in the late hours (12am - 4am) lol.
When outside the door with music playing I hear a lot of Snare frequencies seems like a lot of sub 200 hz. I know it may be as simple as "moving your speakers as far away from the door as possible", but sound is funny, so I didn't know.
I was thinking about putting some 703 insulation on the door, but for now, I'm mainly concerned with the layout to start. I still have the old bag up stairs to worry about too lool.
Here's how my "bedroom" is setup now:

I will go look around for more info. By any chance, does anyone have experience or pics of a "studio" in this sized room? Grr, yeah, I have to keep the bed :)
Thank you,
