That's my room (note that my GoPro camera causes a fish-eye effect, the room isn't that big). I think it's about 25+ feet long (from window to door).
Now I have this really bad bass problem I've always gotten and now I'm finally going to fix it. I also want to make this room acoustically accurate. This is for mixing purposes only, I'm not micing anything but that could change.
I know my monitors (Alesis M1Active USB) are junk and are contributing to the excessive bass at certain frequencies so a pair of HS80-M's are coming!
Now this room is weird with the ceiling being angled so I don't know if this requires any additional work. Also the rear walls (facing the door) are different distances to the monitors. I plan to make all the bass traps and absorbers/deflectors or whatever myself.
What kind of material do I need to get (fiberglass, moving pads?). I can get moving pads free but not sure how well they would work. Would insulation work? I'd like to keep this as cheap as possible, but I also want to do it right (I know it's not going to be professional if I'm on a budget).
If I clap my hands in the room, there is no reverb or echo that I can hear so it seems that it's fairly good as is (probably not due to my inexperience in this).
Monitor placement can be changed (I say this cause I believe they're to far apart). I can actually change the whole room around if it's for the better. Some feedback on where I should put monitors would be nice!
So I want all the advice I can get on this! I'm still trying to educate myself on all this different foam/fiberglass and positioning. It's quite a lot to understand!
Thanks a lot!
