That's perfect, thank you, @Musicwolf, appreciate the advice.

I can justify panels on walls, but no more than that. Maybe I should use the space for other things and get some HD650s (etc)?

I'll have a look at them, cheers JT.

I think of the I louds as headphones, not worn.
I mix in my only room, small studio flat type thing, which could never be treated.
Careful layout, and some room treatment should be fairly easy, if your expectations are not too high, and I would like to try out the V2 I louds (M2M?) as I think they come with some clever room correction electronics, which might be useful.
Eric Valentine did a good video where he used something like Sonarworks and a reference mic to get a reasonable sound in a new room, quite revealing how little was needed to fix some problems.
The main thing to be understood, is that this is a long term experience, and learning to hear what your own space, whether that is between your ears or in a room, sounds like with reference tracks.
Stuff like Span is very useful on the master bus for comparing things.
Envious.
Was my pleasure. If you ever feel that SLO Itch again, I can do some more re-amping
There is quite a lot of 'laws of diminishing returns' at play here. I did a music degree, and used their studios for quite a lot of recording and mixing work, which were pretty dead rooms, with Genelecs and some nice gear, and as the time went by I had to do more and more work from home. That was when I invested in the HD650s, and it was very useful to hear what was needed to compensate for when I re played the mixes through the studio equipment.
The point is, neither of those scenarios were 'perfect', and there was probably a lot of room correction needed, but it hepled me reach a level that would otherwise be impossible.
Theres a whole range of variables these days, we don't 'Just' mix for any particular medium, so you just have to learn where the compromises will be made, to suit your own tracks, and intentions.
It also takes a long time to get used to anything, so it is important to have some standards to stick to, something like HD650s and I-louds is a great entry point, and the costs will soon mount up if you want to get more than a few percentage points of improvement.
I think it is important, in a bad sounding, less than ideal room, that you keep levels reasonable and keep the mixes simple and focussed, not a lot of point having sounds in the sub range if they can't be heard or controlled, but the HD650s will reveal the problems soon enough.
Christain from Spitfire has bottomless pockets, it seems, and he recently had his home studio (shed) treated, and was using something eyewateringly expensive for room correction, it is an interesting watch.
The Eric valentine one was also good for showing how he dealt with very specific problems using analysis mic and a bit of judicious damping.
One thing they both have in common, is very good sets of ears, and a lot of experience.
It isn't cheap but it can be cheaper then redesigning a room to a professional standard.
The ST2 is (I think) about 5K and will do two sets of monitors.

I’ve had my pair for 5 or so years now & love them. Often I just plug them into my phone/iPad & listen to stuff on Spotify, they are great & not fatiguing.
