Yes it is small but I reckon I could pull it off. The primary reason for moving office back home is to save my business money. The second is to use what I have to record again because since I've had an office across the other side of my city I've never recorded music since moving there.


Paul the physics really don't support pulling it off because of where your head is relative to many of the room modes.

Do yourself a favor. Take your monitors from your current space and move them to the new room and place them where your plan shows. Take a chair and place it where you plan to sit while mixing. Play back the tones indicated by the web link I put above and rove your head in a .5m diameter and listen to the huge difference in level due to just moving your head. Start at the lowest tone and go up from there. You cannot fix those sensitivities without bass traps, which take up lots of room. Do this before you make any investment in raw construction materials and labor. Learning to monitor with headphones will be key for successful mixing in a room with these narrow dimensions.
