bass traps

[busted kitty]

I'm constructing a studio in my basement. The dimentions of the rooms are about 10.5 feet by 9 feet. What sixe bass trap do I need, and what materials should I use to build one?

is there troublesome low freq noise in there? or just planning for it?

Busted,

Take this question into the studio building forum on this BBS and you may find some help there..

Just making plans. I'm not certain what stading waves will persist in my room, but I've been told that bass guitars and drums can present some unwanted coloration with sounds. Any advice?
