Speaker Placement In Your Home Studio (continued)

[@bthellam]

That. Was. Awesome. So many videos and resources cater to those who just just short, to-the-point videos without demonstrations. This was a great demonstration AND you happened to be using two of the monitors I'm interested in!

[@mathewgoodman3098]

Very informative information. I’m currently in the process of updating my studio. Thank you for the time you put in to these videos.

[@Oilid]

VERY VERY interesting! Thanks for taking the time to share!

[@Rappermand99999]

Awesome video man! Very interesting!

[@stevewheeler8640]

Fascinating video.... I would've bet money the front ported speakers would have (positively) responded to being moved away from the wall much sooner than the rear ported ones. Thank you for posting this!

[@raycochrane3971]

Nice one Tad. Listening position tests of the foam sections would be interesting. I'm moving my gear to a new and slightly larger room in a month so I'll be considering this sort of stuff for the set up. Thanks. I reckon you should get a sled for your entire mixing/working position so you can pull it away from the wall for just mixing.

[@YHRS]

Thanks Ray! Moving into a new room is both exciting and a little frustrating, for sure. I thought I had enough experience when we moved here, and I was almost cocky coming into it. Boy, did this room teach me some lessons :) Interesting idea about the sled. I'll keep that idea in mind!

[@GL64]

Pretty interesting. I'd like to see more of this. If you get a chance do some tests at your actual listening position and from there maybe move some gobos around to see what happens?

[@YHRS]

Thanks man, I like that idea a lot. I'll see what I can come up with! Except for my cloud absorber, all of my absorbers are hung with wire, like paintings. So they're easily removable. But that ceiling cloud isn't coming down until the end of time :D

[@DarkPa1adin]

Thumbs up for the effort!

[@YHRS]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@harrisarp3841]

Thank you!!!!

[@Saintknick]

Very interesting, wonder what happens if you placed the speakers to the front edge of the desk

[@YHRS]

I'll have to try that next time! My hunch is that it won't make a very big difference, but I guess I won't know until I try! Thanks!

[@acc4481]

Great video as always! Thumbs up for the effort and clarity! Quick question though, what are the dimensions of your studio and how is it shaped? Hope you see this!

[@YHRS]

Thank you! My room is rectangular, with pretty low ceilings (it's a basement room). I don't have the exact dimensions on hand, but it's roughly 12' x 15' x 7'6" tall.

[@JDODify]

This is a really interesting one tad. Can you try moving the speaker around the room. But keeping the same distance from the wall and the mic but in different places. See what difference that makes.

[@YHRS]

Thanks JD! That's a good idea, and I'll write that one down for my next set of experiments.

[@accentontheoff]

While we are at it :) how much better than the Yamahas do you find the Adams to be. Thanks!

[@GL64]

Oh, and for me, the best thing I did for my room was to stay consistent and learn my speakers/room. It takes time and a lot of referencing. But even in my similar small imperfect room I can make a mix I'm happy with pretty easily just because of familiarity. I've very recently done recordings in super-pro studios with super-pro control rooms that haven't referenced well on other systems without going back in several times and making tweaks. I guess no room is perfect.

[@YHRS]

Very good point! I should put in more dedicated, conscientious practice of critically listening and referencing. Recreationally, I just listen loud. I'll have to put in more time of picking apart the elements in the stuff I like. But I just get swept away and end up just enjoying it.

[@tunairaiol]

Thanks for the video. Have you experimented with Sonarworks? I would like to see if it is able to calibrate your setup to those resonances.

[@YHRS]

Thanks! I haven't yet tried Sonarworks. I have to admit that I'm skeptical, but I've heard a lot of good things about it. Honestly, I'd be more interested in their reference headphone correction software, but I'm also intrigued by the speaker correction software. I've come *this* close to buying it on more than one occasion, just to review and see if it's all it's cracked up to be.

[@tunairaiol]

@@YHRS I have to say my experience with it on headphones was terrible, but I'm curious to see how it works with monitors as well. On the headphones side, I'm going to try Dsoniq Realphones. I've read great reviews about it. There is a room simulation feature that I think is important. DearVR Monitor has this as well, but no frequency correction.

[@vivalazik]

Hi, Interesting but I think that it's not getting flatter because you're getting far from the wall but because you're getting close to the mic. And the closer you get from the mic the less room you get 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@F0nkmaestro69]

Exactly, and the mic represents an ear

[@sallopiccolo7336]

Please do the same test in your normal listening position at your desk.

[@YHRS]

I'll see if I can figure out a way to do that. I don't have much flexibility with speaker position, with respect to my listening position. But I'll see if I can find a way to do it!

[@AmauryCastillo]

Tomorrow I'm moving my desk to a new position in the room, I'll be back if something g good happened!

[@hakangurdol]

Some thing i know, best positioning for the speakers is to be in the middle of the room and for more true resolution for speakers i use Behringer DEQ2496 for allianing them. Also a mixing phone Akg K240 mk2
