I just moved into a rented flat a few months ago, its a two bedroom so the spare room is a dedicated studio.
Unfortunately, its sounds god damn horrifically horrifyingly bad! Ive been using headphones since I moved in, its just unusable.
The bass is just a boomy mess frankly, it overwhelms all the other frequencies. The worst place to sit in the room is also exactly where I work from. If I move back towards the rear wall the bass becomes less boomy (still not good though).
The flat is a new build so the walls are pretty thin. The walls behind the speakers and behind me (both lead to other rooms in my flat) are made out of some plasterboard'ish material (I have no idea about materials), really hollow sounding. The walls to the sides are thicker, with a window in the right and a large built-in cupboard in the left.
The floor is carpeted.
I can feel the bass vibrating through the floor in my feet, at low volumes. It sounds to me like the major problem is the reflections on the front wall behind the monitors. The back of the monitors are 19cm away from the wall, I could move the desk further away from the wall (although less aesthetically pleasing!).
Dimensions: (cm)
295x290 (+ 96x70 door outcove)
252 - height

I'm only bothered about achieving a usable room for mixing, that's it. The problem of course is its a rented flat which means I'm limited to non-destructive work.
What can I do?
Who knew I had it so good with the old bedroom studio!
Thank you very much for any help.
