My desk has a window right to the left, on the wall behind it. The light coming form the window directly into my eyes made my eyes get so tired when trying to see stuff on the screens, so I put up an extra curtain on a rail, going perpendicular to the back wall, right before the window. Now I can just pull that curtain out from the wall. Makes for a cozy little sound design cave as well heh
I'd seriously consider upgrading your monitors (screens not speakers) I'd get an ultrawide and place the BenQ above it to put plugins/video when doing sound to picture. More real estate is an absolute game changer for productivity and having an ultrawide allows you to display so much more of your tracks/timeline, which means less scrolling and less faff. This is nitpicking but get yourself a nice keyboard also (typing not playing) You spend so much of your time at the machine. Treat your hands and brain to something a whole lot nicer and more tactile.
Btw, I was wondering how you went about, and maybe still are going about this whole audio career thing. I'm 25 now living with my girlfriend, and working a part time job that is only just providing enough income to get by. Finished a bachelor in sound design this year, and see many of my classmates already in jobs or are just really out there you know. But I find that I'm not that much in a hurry to "get there", and am slowly discovering that there are actually other things in life that are important to me. Anyhow, this wasn't meant to be about me haha. Would be interesting to hear in a video maybe how you got into sound design and how, with a family to provide for, how you made that work.
I would love to know about sound pannels now, how you are isolating sounds and all! I am doing a similar setup then you and wil kinda start from scratch... I have one of those QuiLock desks that are pretty HUGE, probably made for tube monitors still hahaha. I need a more efficient desk, and will treat the room too, but I have ZERO handyman skill nor a location to make the handyman work... Do you just build at home depot or something like that?
Isnt your second Display-Monitor in front of your right Studio-Monitor and blocks the sound? How do you deal with that? I dont really know how i could easily add a second screen to my setuo because of this issue. Thanks for the tour i found it really interesting to see!

Also, watch that dust. They can be an equipment killer lol! But great setup!
Looks great! Congratulations! Have you considered Audimute blankets?

your PC specs and all the audio software you use.. even things like utilities, you think would be insignificant to mention.
