Hi all,
I record, produce and mix indie music under the name Language Please. Since arriving home from college a few weeks ago, I've decided to rearrange my childhood bedroom so that it's more suitable for mixing. I've really enjoyed reading these forums and learning about acoustic treatment.
However, even after rearranging my room so that my speakers fire down the long axis, and building and hanging my own bass traps, I am facing an ungodly bass resonance around 140hz when I do a sine sweep. My room is an unusual shape with measurements of 14.5ft x 13.5ft x 7.5ft (with the vertical wall before the slant at 56" tall).
See two photos of my room and a video of it here.
I've hung 6 inch bass traps on the front and back wall/ceiling corner where I can, and have a corner trap on the front left corner (the front right has a bookshelf).
This bass resonance is strongest right at the listening position of my desk, with noticeable buildup behind the speakers. Pulling the desk farther away from the wall doesn't seem to help. Before rearranging the room, my desk was under one of the slants in the corner firing down the short axis of the room. I didn't have this bass frequency problem when the desk was positioned there (however other things do sound better in the current arrangement).
I have a few more bass traps I'm waiting to hang (thought I would ask you all first). The 4 I have installed have maybe made a difference but the resonance still makes even music listening very unpleasant. Any idea what I could do to effectively combat this?
Let me know what other information I can provide about my case.
Thanks very much,
Max
