Hi
I just moved to a new place, and I decided to upgrade my gear a little bit and create a home studio in a small spare room we have.
I bought some accoustic treatment from Auralex, the Alpha Roominator kit. I also added KRK Rokit 6 studio monitors, but until now I have only used headphones for mixing.
This weekend I installed all the accoustic foam and put up all my guitars, and placed all my music gear in the room.
Here are some pictures.

Should've spent the money on more guitars instead
The setup looks awesome!
Beautiful man!
Congrats!
It's amazing how you've organiced the little studio room
Sweet man, so neat and tidy, lovely gear too. Love the double monitor thing
As I ignore everything about acoustic shielding, is it any reason to put the material just in some places of the walls and not others? How do you know where to place it and where not?
Nicely done I"ve got a pair of KRK monitors myself and LOVE em Your setup is quite spiff and Ithink you are gonna love spending time there. Many congrats!
Todd
Suuhhweeeet!!
The only changes I would make.. looks like you have phone in there, that's an annoyance
I would take the arms of the chair, I have done that with all of mine and now I can comfortably play guitar everywhere in the house
How to you like the KRK's? I keep thinking about buying a set of those (looking at the 6's mysefl)~
Gary
Thanks guys.
I have promiced not to buy any more guitars, so I can´t spent money on that.
Fran: Like Todd said it´s not excact sience, but you can find alot of information about the subject online, and Auralex provides ideas and basic rules also. The most importand thing is to treat the area around the mixing area. It´s also importand not to use too much foam in the room but then it will sound dead unless you are going for that vibe. some reflection is neccesary to keep the sound alive.
Gary: No other place for the phone in the house, but it´s a old house. I probably get another chair, but this one is not very comfortible and it will be without arms of course, the are annoying when you are playing, but I use the other chair in the room when I play the guitar.
The KRK are very nice and I think you can´t do much better then the Rokit line in that price range. It´s more than enough for home use. I bought Rokit 6 with 6" woofer, and I think it is perfect size for a room like this, but if it were bigger I would have taken the Rokit 8".
KRK has also more expensive monitors the "V" line, but they cost alot more. You can´t go wrong with the Rokit series.....highly recomended. But to get the best out of any monitor you have to accoustically treat the room in some way.
Oh I understand now, thanks Todd & Gilmore
That's an awesome setup, you did a great job man!
Yeah, there is endless sea of wisdom about this if one want´s to dig that deep, but for home studio the rule of thumb goes a long way.
There is a common way called the mirror method, but then you sit in the mixing area in front of the mixing desk and ask someone to hold a mirror in places around the room, and if you see the monitors in the mirror, then you put foam or some accoustic material there.
Also if you have a larger room, then you can treat each end differently.
Auralex has some great instructions on their website, room calculators and more tools.
Nice setup! I have the same midi keyboard controller!
Dang, now that's a dream studio right there. Nice guitar collection.
Beautiful home studio! Thanks so much for sharing!
Gary
