.38 away from the short walls -

If you have a room that's (for ease of measurment) 13x20, you're going to set up on the short side (13') and go down the long side (20').

The area of most "crap" - Null points, bad reflections - generally the worst possible place to be in the room is at the .5 spot - 10' from either wall.

The BEST spot in the room is going to be at .38 from either wall - 7.4 feet in. That will be the spot with the *least* amount of "crap" in the air. The lowest number of bad reflections, dips, null points, peaks, etc.

This is where bass trapping "in bulk" comes in handy - Especially on the rear wall - If you can fool the room into thinking that wall isn't really there (complete broadband absorption) your "sweet spot" will widend and lengthen considerably - In this room (where over 60% of the rear wall, plus the corners, are covered with broadband absorptive materials) there is little discernable difference between the "sweet" spot and the "sh*t" spot. In my old space (with much less bass trapping) the difference between the desk rail and the base of the chair was absolutely huge.

This is also one of the reasons why closets fail as vocal booths... :D In a space where 4' is the long measurement, you're looking at having the mic in the sweet spot and the singer's mouth in the crap spot. Two inches makes a *huge* difference - and the problematic frequencies are mugh higher, with shorter wavelengths - where again, only an inch or two can mean the difference between "acceptable" and "complete garbage."
Massive I got a question for ya. You said that your setup should be on the short wall, but my problem is that there's a big window on my short wall, and on the rear is the door with a window in it. So, I put my setup on the lomg wall, but should I go ahead and put it on the short wall anyway?

Oh ok I get the drift now, being that I have recently moved into a house I setup in a bedroom thats only 12X11 so i have my current setup kinda in the middle and a little away from the wall in front of me, so isnt in the corner anymore like my old apt, but now that I play my mixes back they have dramaticly decreased in the low end spectrum, not sure if this would mean my setup is now acceptable, is that what Im looking to achieve? lol sorry for the 50 Q, I will head to the bookstore next week and read up but I always appriciate others input......
Using those measurements, you should set up on the 11' wall and your head should be 4.5' from the wall.

That's not a lot of space - But if you have the room, it could be 4.5' away from the *rear* wall also.

If you're losing a lot of low end, try moving back 2 feet... It's probably all there. If you're in the dead center of the room (there's a reason why it's called "dead" center) and you don't have a fairly serious amount of bass trapping, it isn't going to fly.

I would - The window and door will allow more low end to pass through than the walls also. Less buildup that way. Not a crapload less, but enough. Plus, the difference will be pretty substantial going down the long way in the first place.

Heres what you do when you have limited space! I dont know about you guys but here in texas, in some nice apartments, they have a small area where there is a desk built into the wall. It looks like it would be a closet but they just took the doors off and put a shelf about waist high. So thats our desk until we can get a real one. Anyway, Heres the pics!

I like that desk. I like the look and can almost feel what it's like to sit in a room with that type of lighting. I can most def zone out in an atmosphere like that.

I like that desk. The atmosphere is cool too

Funny, I guess every producer in the game is overkill, huh? and dont be mad your looking at $7,000 worth of equipment when your probably using fruity loops. MPC master sequencer and sampler, Fantom is the synth. gonna get a motif rack soon... And at the end of the day it doesnt matter dogg, cuz I guarentee my beats are hotter then yours...

That s**t was cold blooded!!!!!
