Hi all,
Hope this is the right place for this post.
Ive thrown together a rough approximation of my studio.
Simple setup, I have some 5" studio monitors (Presonus) sitting on pads on my desk.
Put simply, the bass is out of control in the room (like earsplitting), compared with listening to the mix through headphones.
At the back wall of the room (opposite the monitors) is a built-in wardrobe with (floor to ceiling) mirror doors. I have noticed if I open one of the doors (two sliding doors, you can only open one at a time) to expose the clothing inside, it takes some of the bass out of the room.
I imagine these doors are acting like a bit of a reverberation plate causing the huge bass issues.
I am wondering what I can do to insulate against this. I can't change the layout of the room unfortunately.
Would some insulation panels (eg. squares of egg crate foam) hung in front of the mirrors help?
Any advice would be much appreciated, especially if you've combatted this problem yourself.
Thanks in advance.
