As far as I understand it, if you plan to use drc to do additional correction via software, it is better to focus on correcting the long reflections in real world and tackle the early reflections in software. The short reflections are easier to correct with shorter correcting impulses for convolution. I think this could also apply to short reflections after the signal from the wall directly behind you... If you have the space, placing the desk in the middle of the room could be worth a shot. I would definitely try to get the bed (or a sofa) in a place directly behind the working position. That way you (and fellow musicians) can enjoy the temporary and final mixes in a more convenient position. As light from the window disturbing your screen or view isn't really an issue for you, you could also think about placing your desk in front of the window. The early reflections will be harsh, but it should be easy to suppress them by drc or with some foam placed on the direct reflecting parts of the window (have someone paint Tux on the back of them so passers-by have a nice pic to see:) But when the sunlight hits your window, you will feel it. Should result in more sunny music from you;-) Place lots of book of different sizes on your shelves, grab some stuffed toys from your girlfriend and leave your clothes hanging everywhere to suppress reflections. Looks and feels untidy but its for a good cause! :-D Have fun, Arnold
