Hi all

I'm wondering if it's possible to have a decent mixing room in a Trailer. I was hoping to rent a house and get into a basement but it's just not happening. I'll only be doing mixing through monitors in the day of course but i'm wondering if i'll be able to mix without the neighbours wanting to kill me. The music I do is hip-hop so it's pretty bass heavy. I've read about DIY bass traps which seem pretty cheap. Do bass traps actually absorb the sound so it doesnt travel too much or just even it out somehow for mixing?. I can probably spend maybe up to 300 a month on whatever i'll need to keep the sound in. Since i'm renting I can't really go crazy. I'd like to ask now before I look into a trailer cause if i'm not gonna be able to keep the loud bass out theres no use even bothering. I'll ask this first if I get the ok i'll post the dimensions and maybe some pics after I look at the place. thx for advice in advance !
 
I forgot to mention that what i'm doing is stricly mixing using samples, no recording.
 
Thats pretty sweet, i'm sure a trailer will have much more room than that. I'm mostly wondering if i'll be able to keep the sound or bass low enough to not get evicted. So is it possible to make a mixing area in a room without having to take down walls and put in new ones but buy absorbers or what have you that I can put up and be able to take down if i move again?

I looked for an hour on google, this was the best I got..


... It involves the MIXING of the Yin and Yang powers on ... Taoist Esotericism is a method of MASTERING the spirit ... This body functions like a MOBILE HOME to the spirit ...

Bass traps to not help significantly with isolation. They are meant to stop the bass from bouncing around and accumulating in the space, not from vibrating through the walls.

OTOH a trailer opens up other possibilities...drive it to where there AREN'T any neighbors nearby!
 
ya, i'm sure whoever I rent off of won't mind if I take it for a spin....maybe i should nix the trailer idea and look harder for a house.
