jegha · 17th January 2009

hey guys,

my room is about 4metres to 4metres big. the corners near the monitor are very difficult. i have the ARC system but i heard that some improvements are necessary. i though about bass traps like stuff for the corners near the monitors. maybe:
1. the t.akustik SA-2 RAS Schallabsorber or
2. the t.akustik Basotect Cornertube 480 Grau or
3. AURALEX ACOUSTICS LENRD BASS TRAPS CHARCOAL 4

maybe u can give me some advice? hear are the pics of my room. its for electronic music purposes:

For bass trapping stick with products that made from mineral wool. Foam is ok for early reflections but not so great for bass trapping.

You're going to need to put up a lot of treatment - your room being square and all. Good luck though - at least it's beig enough to get some good sounds out of it :o).

You need to do some treatment. Look around on this forum about bass traps and diffusors and such. There are DIY stuff, too. Which will not cost lots of money but can really work great. Although time consuming.

But most of all:

Get some LIFE and VIBE into your room

I couldn't even imagine beeing creative in such a sterile enviroment.

Cheers! Good luck...
