Ok, so the door (and its swing path) for the room is right near (or spot on) where the first reflection point would be (haven't done the mirror test yet):  So would it be best to have the door open or closed? If its opened it could potentially be in the way of the first reflection which maybe would be a good thing?  (or a bad thing since it would be breaking the symmetry or causing other first reflection points). And just in general, is it best to mix in a room with an open or closed door? |

I would put a pannel on your door.....or a removable pannel that hangs over it while mixing....you could then use it else where for recording then pop it back on while mixing.....but personaly for me i would build the pannel permanant to the back of the door....ive mixed with open doors and according to whats the other side its going to interfear..even if you dont notice immediately...soon as your ears are in mixing mode it will start to bug you.......but thats not a scientific answer....thats just what ive experienced...but i feel it would be the same given the space your in isnt that big.....but saying that all my rooms where i did that..my head was slap bang in the middle of the doorway......maybe being off set will help...not sure?......cant you try that now....listen with the door open and closed....

Yes, just do like ping says. It's good if you extend the panels long the wall a bit too.

Having the door open is technically good for bass because that's one more surface that can't reflect energy.
But like Ping says, ambient noise might distract you. Also, it might disrupt the symmetry. The solution to the latter is to heavily treat the opposing side.
