I think I've figured out a big part of my problem with mid-lows. I think it is my room. It kinda dawned on me today reading a post on another bbs, "hey, that's the exact same crap I deal with" kinda thing. (much due to the invaluable wisdom of sonusman)

What kind of rooms do you guys record in? Just wood and concrete? Carpet, and if so where? etc...

Ever use bass traps?

I am forever trying to "throw the hoop around the basketball" by killing lows in the initial recording and trying to add them back because of what I suspect is a crappy recording setting....

rooms

i use an upstairs bedroom with no furniture in it, only music equipment. Then i have thick blankets hung on the walls were the sound reflects, this has helped the boomyness of the bass in my situation...

best guess

I'm only guessing here, but I think the carpet in my room (basement) is absorbing all of the preferable low frequencies and leaving only the mid-lows apparent...

Two of the walls and half of the floor are covered with carpet (I removed it from one wall already),

My amp is in the shop, but when I get it back I'm going to try positioning it somewhere else... see if this helps...
