Closet Desk Setup

Post by winglessfallen »

I feel like I may know the answer to this, but I've tried to ask in multiple places and haven't gotten any direct answers, so I'll try here.

I have a home studio that functions as both a recording spot and a visual art studio. It's about 10 x 10 or so. The closet has a built in desk, and the closet is probably 6 x 2 1/2 x 8, if I'm just roughing ideas. I currently have my computer and speakers set up in that. Ultimately, I know it's probably a terrible set up to mix in, but is there a way to set up traps to make it usable? I've noticed when I mix on the speakers, it's hard to pick out frequencies, so obviously the sound is bouncing everywhere, but I just thought I'd see if it was salvageable before moving the desk into the room and taking up what is currently valuable real estate.

thanks!

Hi. Please read the forum rules for posting (click here). You seem to be missing a couple of things! :)

To answer your question, we'd need to see the details of that closet and the rest of the room, but very likely the answer is what you suspect: Its not going to work. Small spaces are terrible for acoustics: the smaller they are, the worse they are, and a closet is about the smallest, worst place you can imagine...

Lose the closet. Do you really need a desk? Screens and speaker can be wall mounted. All you need is a tiny surface big enough for Mouse and ASCI Keyboard.
If they are wireless you could even build a little shelf onto a studio/office chair.
Your room will seem a lot bigger without desk and closet.
