Bass Problem!

EddieR · 20th October 2009

This is my room measurements L10xW8xH9 feet room is small problem i'm having is the bass sounds good in the back of the room and not in front of me and after reading a couple of post around here i think i need basstraps right?

Yes, and lots of them - the room is small so its a "blessing" you have a rather high (at 9') ceiling. I would consider making full use of it for an absorbing cloud.

Yes bass traps will help but also make sure you are set up right. You want to start by having the mix spot facing the short wall and sit around 38% of the room length. From there you would move forward or back to find the best response.
As far as bass traps you want them in all corners and make sure to hit the back wall with thick panels. See the following for a layout for you.
