so i did a search on room treatment, spectrum analyzers and such and i'm not really finding what i'm looking for so i'd appreciate any help.

i'm looking to adjust my room to get some better monitoring. i guess i could just throw in some bass traps, acoustical foam and the such, but i have this feeling that i would be trying to fix something that has not been proven to be broken in the first place. and how do i know i've even positioned everything corretly. my room has carpet and a bed i'm using near-feild monitors (event 20/20 bas). my biggest concern is the mid-low to low frequencies. i've had a little problem with translatability of my mixes.

so my question is: can i buy a spectrum analyzer like say the phonic PAA2 and see what my major problem frequencies are, then try to fix the room with traps, foam and the such? i'm a recording hobbiest and i may move one day so i'm really not up to hiring a person to fix my room. the monitors are not ideal, but i have a "slutz list" that will need to be satisfied before i get new monitors.

how can i fix my room? are there other spectrum analyzers out there...mind you this is posted in low end for a reason.

thanks. any help is appreciated.
