Exactly Tony,
Of course, starting with the instructions that come with the monitors can be useful too.
Mine made it clear that X distance from a wall was critical for good response though they did have a switch to adjust if there was no other option. Similarly isolation from any large surface can reduce resonance/boom as well as avoiding reflections from the same surface.
My new speakers are mounted at the prescribed distance from the wall, lucky me that I have the space to do so, on isolation pads that are on top of solid bases...(I did have them on big, old speaker boxes but that created all sorts of problems), and off the desk.

Hi,

Here is a link to my business website (NZ Acoustics Ltd) where I have lots of products and advice for home and professional studio owners.

https://www.nzacoustics.com/

All small rooms have significant sound problems. They don't have a professional sounding reverberation instead they have very nasty flutter echoes and almost always have bad bass problems including the dreaded boominess around 120 Hz. So the answer is to take all the reverberation out of the room completely.

For a small room you need a minimum of:
- Ceiling acoustic panels at least 50mm thick
- Back wall panels to stop sound reflections back into your mic over your shoulders. You cannot place too many panels on your back wall.
- Panels at first reflection points to speed up your mixing

Always sing into one of the front corners of your room and make sure there are acoustic panels on both corner walls.

Speakers - don't use surround systems just use two high quality monitors pointing correctly down the long axis of the room. Speakers such as Focal can reduce another major problem with small rooms - uneven bass response at different parts of the room.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for further advice. We only supply our products in NZ but more than happy to help forum members with suggestions for their rooms.

Best Regards
Nigel

I've been doing this well over 50 years and test gear for a lot of companies. My choices probably don't show up on anybody's list but here's the gear I recommend to those starting from scratch on a budget. Best thing is that you can add things as your budget grows.

Microphones.

An SM57 is a pretty good mic with the right preamp or with a booster that flattens out the problems caused by the impedance mismatch. It was designed when the 600Ω Bell spec was the norm for PA and recording gear. Modern solid state gear runs 1800Ω–2400Ω but the Shure dynamics are unchanged. Something like this restores a 57 to the way Shure intended it to sound—these show up used on Reverb and eBay, too. Triton FETHead

As the rest of your chain improves, you will get tired of the SP1. When it's time to step up to a truly decent (but still affordable) mic… The RØDE NT3 is the closest I have found to the "if you're only going to own one condensor" mic. Also easy to find used. RØDE NT3

At some point, if you read enough, you'll think, "What does a U87 really sound like and should I get one? Migawd they're expensive!!!" Yea, then you'll read how every clone or copy is the one you really want — ignore everything else. My 2¢: The real deal has 3 patterns: cardioid, omni, figure 8 and a decent clone does too. Besides, as you get more experienced, you'll learn how to use all three patterns. Then there's the fact that there's a difference between vintage and modern—yep, Neumann changed the specs and build over the years. This clone is unique in that it has hardware circuits that ape both builds (with a switch between the two) plus the RF circuit (that can be switched out) plus a popular cardioid modification — all in the same mic. $700 new, around $500 used.
UST Twin87
A friend bought one and we compared it to my vintage and modern U87s. Exact? Much closer than I expected, especially the Vintage. I did buy a pair, however, and that's what I use on remotes while $10K worth of mics stay here. No hard case but a $15 Apache 1800 case from Harbor Freight works great (the $30 2800 holds two) Apache Cases at Harbor Freight .

Pop filter.

You don't want to know what I have spent over the years on the drawerful in my studio—most of it not very good. The best, most effective and the most neutral I've found is the Hakan P-110 that uses a 7/8" polyester aquarium filter media. Do not spend $99, however. This one on Amazon is the exact same thing for $20 Acoustic Mic Filter and has the same flaw: the nuts on each end of the gooseneck are loose and need tightening with a 10mm wrench. If you don't mind bending some coat hanger wire, you can make your own with the exact same filter media, 6 pieces for $6: 7/8" Bio Filter Media

Interface.

Almost all released since late 2019 use the same Cirrus Logic chip family. If it boasts "Fast USB 2, Near Zero Latency, 192kHz 24 bit", you should consider; anything less—pass. The 8 channel version costs manufacturers less than $8 in quantity which is why nearly everyone is using it. Those boasting 96Hz are using an older version with greater RT latency that I would avoid. Both of these have the CL chip set, are Class Compliant on the Mac (no drivers), 4 In over USB (if you need Loopback), good Win drivers and great phone support if you need it.

I really like the Direct In/Out Monitor/Blend knob that most have. Unfortunately, nothing from Focusrite has this which is why I cannot recommend the Scarlett interfaces (even though the 3rd gen uses the CL chip). Without it, you need to set those levels in your DAW instead of turning a knob on your interface.

If you need only 2 channels out over USB, there is one choice that is a clear winner, IMO. New $190, used $120. Absolute best bang for the buck and nothing else is as versatile. It even has built in hardware effects. Only downside is no MIDI — and you didn't list that as a need.
Mackie ProFx6v3
I don't recommend the larger ones, however—all are 2 out/4 in over USB, even the version with 33 inputs.

Next step up has 8 out/4 in over USB. $329 New, < $300 used. Read my review at Sweetwater to see what this can do.
M•Audio Air 192|14

Speakers.

This is a rabbit hole. One can spend thousands and not get anything you can trust. I absolutely believe in using a subwoofer unless you have a large room or a huge budget — you don't claim to have either.

This set include a decent sub and has become a small room standard. I use the same sub with a very high end 8".

JBL 305P MkII / LSR310S

I have some cool tricks for setting the Mains/Sub balance without using special equipment when that time comes.

Room treatment

I agree with others that a cluttered room can reduce standing waves — always a good thing. A bookcase with books and spaces opposite your monitors can do wonders.

Hi,

I notice the use of a bookcase to help room acoustics mentioned several times in this thread.

Unfortunately books do not help small to medium sized room acoustics much because they don't absorb much sound. Instead they primarily reflect it and therefore act more like a diffusor.

Diffusors are used in large rooms to stop standing waves and have the effect of increasing the apparent size of the room. Therefore they are a very specialist piece of equipment and not useful to tame small room acoustic problems.

If you do have a bookcase on the back wall behind your mixing position you can remove some of the books and place small acoustic panels (300 x 300mm) in those gaps at least 100-150mm thick. This will help the room acoustics.

Best Regards
Nigel

Nigel,
The book cases, whilst not fab or absorbers, help a little in my circumstance - the difference is audible & I did simple tests before & after.

You've some excellent items in stock - and no sign of "acoustic" foam anywhere.
Pity the ditch prevents shipping.

I've spent money, thus far, on some isolation from rooms above with two layers of "decoupled" extra thick Gyprock on the ceiling with a lot of absorption rated Rockwool between them & the original ceiling which also has insulation between it & the floorboards above. Ah, those floorboards look magnificent but even a sock walk sounded like a sock hop.
That cost quite a bit so I'm holding my horses until funds allow me to buy the makings for wall mounted absorbers & some traps.


Cheers

I have been doing this a very long time.

My experience is similar to Ray's. Bookcases don't so much as absorb (they do a little) it's that they diffuse in a very healthy way.

The key is not to fill them up.

The OP asked for
Quote:
Help setting up a (basic) home studio, that can still create great results?


Not so sure about "great" but "very good" is certainly possible.

Yes, one can go with QuietRock and build a room from there but that is very expensive — dead quiet but it costs a small fortune.

That'll be my problem with bookcases ... I find it almost impossible to stop them filling up!

It does occur to me that an open-backed celular structure like a bookcase, with curtains/drapes on the back and a set of castors, could be a very effective way to help manage sound in a room that isn't a proper dedicated studio. It can be stored ahainst the wall, pulled across the room to help both diffusion and damping of standing waves, use before or behind the mic/monitors/singer/listener. Physical stability of such a structure may well be a concern unless it's quite deep. It might be interesting to experiment.

Hi Nigel,

Useful to know and bookmarked. I really don't do much recording now though. When I did it was mostly for theatre work, years ago, not for music per se. In that environment the theatre's own acoustics usually dominate anyway, and even that is hugely dependent on the distribution of occupied seats.

I've considered recording music and may yet do some, but so far it's very much a 'maybe'.

The room I use for music playing has numerous issues that I can kind-of manage. The main one is noise from the road, though that's about as low as can sensibly get it, thanks to secondary glazing and a 4ft deep en-suite shower-room between the front wall and the room. The partition between en-suite and room (it's not presently used as a bedroom) comprises multiple vertical glass panels in fairly deep wooden frames and the three layers of glass are all different weights and characteristics. If I started recording I'd likely put a heavy curtain/drape diagonally across the room in from of that partition. Some of the room's oddities are also possible benefits ... a sloping area at part of one end because it's in loft space. Some big lumps of furniture that help to avoid fundamentals reflections and a reverb time that's modest even as it stands. I do have pink-noise spectrum analyser on my mixer, so I have tools to help see what's happening. There's really only one good solution to the road noise issue ... move.

In truth, these days my ears are shot enough that I'd likely no longer notice many issues. I'm in my 70s, have some hearing loss and some tinitus, so I have no hope, really. My days of acute hearing are well gone.

If I really wanted it, I have access to a couple of purpose-built studios at a local college. One of those is pretty good ... sensible size and proportions, non-rectangulatr and with acoustic treatmnents. The other I have little idea about now ... we tried it as a practice room when it was first built and before they'd had any treatment for the acoustics and at that time it was so apallingly bad that we couldn't even use it for practice. It was quite extraordinarilly 'live'. I sometimes wonder if they ever tamed it, of if they failed which is why they still use that older one that was pretty good.

Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4).

Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
