The absolute priority is to buy some bass traps.

We have a recording session next week (starting on april 21 st), and of course, even if we plan to treat the room quickly, we won't be able to do those acoustic treaments until then.

How can I temporarely solve my bass problem ? Can I use another material to put in the corners, easily findable, that will help us out ? (I don't want to replace the bass traps i'll buy, but only to go for something that can help us a lot to kill this muddyness)

Anyone ?

There are guys far more qualified than me to answer your question, but I'm going mention a possiblity that you might want to consider.


IT's possible that you don't have too much bass. Instead, you have phase cancellation at frequencies above teh mud and that the amount of mud is right. It just feel swrong relative to the holes above it.
