I've uploaded my room treatment ideas. I was wondering if anyone might know something that I'm not aware of. This is just a basic idea, but I'd like some advice on what to do. There are two pictures, one is the view of the room, the other is the sub placement underneath the desk area. The system I plan to use is the BlueSky MediaDesk 2:1 system

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thankyou

Ben,

You'd do well to rotate your setup 90 degrees counter-clockwise so the loudspeakers fire the long way into the room. If you pull the desk a bit back from the wall you'll still be able to get in through the door.

Putting panels right behind you is not the best place. All acoustic problems are caused by reflections off the walls, floor, and ceiling. So the best place to put absorption is on those surfaces, not out in the room.

I agree with Ethan on this - if you check here, you can see the basic ideas

Bottom of the page is a room layout. If you can fit your desk equidistant between the walls, facing the short wall the bedroom door is on - looks like there might be room for corner broadband absorbers (just 3 or 4 inch mineral wool diagonally across as much of the corner as you can possibly stand to lose) - for first reflection points to either side, you may need to make some portable treatments so they're not in your way unless you're using the space for mixing.

For the ceiling over your mix area, here's one possible treatment idea -

BTW, I deleted your similar(earlier) post since this one actually received an answer...
