If you draw an oval touching all the walls, don't put speakers, people, mics or instruments outside it.

Are my monitors way too close to my head or the wall? I know fuck all about speaker placement
they are definitely too low. ideal height for monitors, when you`re sitting is 100 - 110 cm. average desk height is 70 cm. You cant go wrong with buying speaker stands, you can hardly destroy them and can basically use them forever and in any studio setup you have in the future.
I would pull the desk out and place the monitors behind the desk on the speaker stands.
I stripped the screw on my monitor stand the day I opened the box, and haven't used them since.
Good monitor placement is symmetrical from one side of the wall to the parallel wall. You want your set up right in the middle. If you have a more rectangular room, set up your monitors so the sound will blast down the longer dimensions of your room. Also, I'm pretty sure you should pull your monitors forward unless you have a wall very close in back of you.
Well in the meantime I bought a pair of monitor stands and I reccomend them to anyone for a bedroom studio. I can easily adjust the height of the speakers now, have more room on my desk, clearer sound (just a bit) and I can move the speakers around if I feel the need.

yeah it's practically covered in them, had to go onto the sides now too. notes with timecodes of things to sample, notes of ideas for tunes all kinds of stuff like that.
